Last Saturday was one of the most fun days I have had in a while. A friend of mine, Rachel, who is also a neighbor decided to make me feel special by throwing me a baby shower for our sweet little boy. I knew it would be a lot of fun, but it was more…

We might be known as one of those “crazy” families that can not wait to get their tree every year. Some years we have even gone as far as getting it before Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to be “good” and get it the day after 🙂 I always think, we only get to…

Tonight I come to my precious God with a heart full of gratefulness and praise. The list is endless for all the people and things I am grateful for, but there have definitely been a few that stood out this year more than others. We have our daily routines and schedules that seem to sweep…

November has always been a wonderful month.  Not only is it a month of praise and thanksgiving, but we also celebrate a birthday of a very special lady- my mom!  Oh, how I love her and what a great example she is to me, not only as a mother but as a friend.  I can’t…

Barry and I have been patiently waiting for September 7th, to do something that we have not done with Bella- to find out the gender of the baby on the way.  The anticipation grew each day which made it fun;  we took a poll with our family to see who was thinking boy and who…

Recently, we had a great opportunity to get away for a couple of days and stay at a very nice cabin up in Tahoe Donner area.  If I said it was nice and relaxing, I would be lying, so I will just say that it was very nice including a great time spent with our…

Weeks are just flying by, I can’t believe I am almost half way through this pregnancy, time just needs to slow down 🙂  Our first appointment went great, Dr’s exact words:  “It’s a big healthy baby”  We are very excited to find out the gender and are counting down the weeks 😉  It seems like…
