I'm back!

Wow, I have not written a blog post in so long I almost forgot how to do this. SOOOO much has changed since the last time I was on here. The biggest change is the new addition to our family:) Meet baby Lea.

Lea, our very happy and healthy 4 month old has been the biggest blessing we could ask for! She is such a little angel.

I'll catch up on things later when I have time:) xoxo

1/9/201 be happppy.

not sure what to blog about, but how about happiness? be happy. smile. love. care. share. laugh. one of my goals actually for the new year was to be happier. how? stop worrying about the little things. if any worry, worry about myself.. my own problems. things that actually deserve my attention. life's to short to worry about little things anyway, isn't it? here's a few pictures that make me smile.. or happy.. for whatever reason.. i hope they can do the same for you. :)

12/6/2010 a walk down memory lane..

when i was younger.. i never understood why my parents took the time to take pictures. why do we need pictures? we have our memory right?
these days, im still not sure why i take pictures. why take the time to upload, edit, develop pictures? but today i got out the scrap books.. the old albums nobody ever has time to look through. i opened them up.. and i quickly, very quickly, understood why pictures are always taken.

me. ellie. i was about 5. im guessing she was a few weeks old. i never think about that day.. that day when i begged mommy to put ellie in my lap so i could hold her . but when i looked at the pictures.. the memories came flooding back. i remember thinking how tiny her feet were.. how cute her little bathing suit was.. i loved her so much and i never wanted to put her down.
or this picture. alexis.. so full of pride!
or this one.. i loved kindergarten more than anything in the world.
and oh my this one.. little ellie and alexis.. i honestly cant believe they were ever THAT little!


and this day i remember very clearly.. i wanted to go very high on that swing because i was certainly not going to be scared.. so i asked.. and no doubt my brother gave me the biggest push he could! it was a very sunny day.. warm.. blurry in my memory of course. but that's why we have pictures.. they make us remember.. all good memories.
