Happy Birthday sweet baby girl.

Sleep... Beautiful Sleep

She slept last night, and it was wonderful :)

Constant Tears

This has been a tough week! Between the fall and Maddy's teeth coming in we can not seem to get out of our own way! She has been up a lot at night lately and while she is screaming and fussing I can easily slip into a state of panic, I want to throw the remote and be angry. As I was entering this "zone" last night I stepped back and realized that is life. A crying baby is a crying baby, that's it. Not the end of the world, just a stage in life. She will not always cry, but hopefully she will always find safety in my arms.

Stairs... Bahhhh!

Madelyn and I fell down the stairs early Tuesday morning. It was very scary but she is OK. I am very bruised and in some pain, but nothing is broken. How on Earth did nothing break?! So, because I'm a little sluggish here are some pictures...



A few pictures of Madelyn in Mikayla's angel costume. :-) Thank you cousin Mikayla for letting us borrow your wings!

It's her party and she'll be awesome if she wants to.

Maddy's birthday party occurred without a hitch! What a wonderful day, but ask me if I'm ever doing it again... no. I am so tired!! Nonetheless, it was a really fun day to share with family and friends. Maddy received some great gifts and cake! Here is a sample of her party...

More to come :-)

Want to see the Ring?

Going to the Chapel...

And we're gonna get married. Gee I really love him and we're gonna get married. Is that how it goes? Well anyway you get the point, as of Saturday October 17th I am officially engaged to the love of my life. In the most private and special moment Ray asked to spend his life with me, I cried and then said yes! In these past few years he has made me feel as though I am... well, special. To have him enter my life was nothing short of a miracle and something I am convinced my Nana sent to me.
So, I am getting MARRIED Maybe Maddy will be my maid of honor? :-)
