Being a Family again!



Love, love, LOVE spending time as a family, only if its for 10 days. We are taking every moment in. John is loving playing with Bailey and seeing how much she has grown. Hes just amazed with all the changes!!

Christmas Morning


Bailey's first Christmas was a bit late but she didnt know! lol I waited for John to get home before we opened any gifts so we had "Christmas morning" on the 26th. She loved the boxes and paper more than her gifts. lol We had a great time playing on the floor all day.

Thanks Santa....


Bailey and I got the best present ever this Christmas!! A husband and a Daddy! John arrived Christmas day at Dulles! Bailey went straight to him and has kept him in her sights ever since. Hes only home for 10 days, but what a treat to have him here. I don't want to let go. We are loving every second of time together!

Let it snow...



We got about 2 feet of snow this past weekend! It was pretty crazy. I laughed at the news and well....I lost power Saturday night and Johns Dad came and picked me and Bailey up. We stayed the weekend at their house. Bailey got to "play" in the snow for the first time. She wasn't too sure about it and she definitely didn't like her snowsuit! LOL Poor thing couldn't move.

Santa Baby















She sure makes a cute little Santa!

Hello Mr Clause

Christmas is right around the corner!! Seems like these past few weeks have just flown by. Luckily I have my shopping done so I'm just sitting back and letting the days roll on. Having a great time watch Bailey experience her first Christmas. Love seeing her amazement with lights, presents and Christmas trees. She was able to meet Mr. Clause and wasn't too sure of him but loved his beard!! lol

Update!


Its been too long since I've been on here. So i guess i need to update everyone. Bailey will be 8 months on the 17th! Cant believe my baby is getting soo big! She's crawling like crazy now. It amazing to watch her go, she gets sooo excited. She's discovering new things all the time. She's gonna have a ball on Christmas!! Its hard not having John here to decorate and prepare for the holidays. I know its going to be hard on Christmas eve and day. Its just so strange to not have him here next to me. Theres so many moments i just want to share with him. I know he misses Bailey so much. She has changed so dramatically since hes been here. I cant wait for him to be able to hold his little girl in his arms again.

Just out of the blue she was playing with her toys on the floor looked up at me and said mama....mamamama...mama.. then had a hugeeee grin on her face. Haha She knew she did something special. I was lucky enough to catch it on video. Not as good as the first few times. She saying it alot more now and every time just melts my heart!!

I saw the light..


So i had an epiphany tonight on my my way home from work The song Stand came on by Rascal Flatts.. it was like a light bulb went off.. i sat there singing along to the song and suddenly i was like WOW I CAN DO THIS! No more whining or complaining! I got this! I am strong. I think for the past few years it has been nice to be able to lean on John for support, but i cant do that anymore. I have to stand on my own two feet. I love my family ALL of my family they offer so much support but now is the time i need to do this by myself because i know i can. Watch out world HERE I COME!!!
STAND
You feel ike and candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture in a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright,you'll be alright
(chorus)
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide youve had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand
Lifes like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what your giving, before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
(Chorus)
Everytime you get up
and get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
(chorus)

Just Sitting around.....


My little baby girl is just growing up so fast. She is starting to sit a bit not for too long and most of the time with support but she loves it! She gets all excited and she falls over haha. I love to watch her wonder and excitement with new things. She can just light up a room. Shes such a little Angel.

Cuz Baby its cold outside!





We had a really chilly day last week so Bailey got to test out her new Winter hat! How dang CUTE!? Thanks to Nana Mac for getting it :) She kept it on for a while till she realized she could take it off!
