One of the three best moments of my life, all tied for first. The day I married my love, the day we welcomed sweet Wyndham and the day we became a family of four!

A Rarity

Just moments before I snapped this I was having one of those moments where both kids were screaming. Paisley was beyond tired and Wyn was screaming that she didn’t want to go down for a “nappy” over and over and over… and on top my house is upside down… not to mention we are having company over shortly and I sure have not started a thing in regards to food… and the laundry piles.. oh me… and your mind drifts to all those other items on your never ending to do list of things you really want done but you just can’t get to…

I’m sure many of you know this feeling… And then...all of a sudden all goes quiet.  All is calm which is a true rarity in our house. That little head resting on your arm gets awfully heavy and their breathing gets heavier. And you whisper, oh praise Jesus!

And the feeling that follows is completely blissful, almost indescribable. There are few things greater in this world than this. holding your sleeping babies. their smell. their deep breaths. the way they curl into you and cling to you even in their sleep. the complete trust they have in you.

And you battle the ideas of whether you should stay there and just hold those sweet babies or whether to carefully move them to their beds so you can to the frantic, mad-dash scramble to get your house in some resemblance of order…

Few things in life are better than this moment right here.

Sweet Paisley James

So after a little reprieve from blogging, I'm back.  Welcome back world, it has been a crazy 4 months to say the least.  Kids are amazing, true gifts from the Lord but they sure keep you busy and tired.  Thought a sweet way to enter back into the blogging world is with Sweet Paisley James big depute!

She arrived 2 days late on Aug 6th, 2011 weighing in at 7 lbs, 7 oz.  Labor was less than half as long as it was with Wyndham, only 7 hrs this time and delivery was speedy, incredibly speedy, less than 10 minutes.

It was a great and sweet experience. Another moment that has changed my life forever.  For the good :)

Baby Seuss is on the Loose!!

I helped throw a baby shower for my new nephew and the theme was Dr. Seuss as that is the theme of the nursery (which is beyond amazing!!--planning to snag some pics soon :)  Had so much fun planning this shower, and it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself (: 

these are some of my favorite candy bar tags from the shower (:

 
  and here they all are in action:
