New York here we come...

What a little traveler we have!  Waking her up from a deep sleep at 5:30 am and off to the airport we went.  After a bus ride, two airplane rides and a car ride we arrived at our hotel.  Putting on our drees up clothes and out the door to Terri and Cort's Rehersal.  A trip to Buffalo, NY to celebrate an amazing couple getting married. 

Reese got her first set of wings and a picture with our pilot in the cock pit.  Everyone loved her and treated us like celebrities!  

She was quite the flyer and had so much fun not only inside the plane but watching the planes on the                  
                                                                         runway too.

Waking up the next morning Mommy was off to the salon to get her hair done.

Bride to be...Me...Joy

The trolly came to pick us up and the flower girl and ring bearer were the first ones on!

Off to the church we go...What an amazing wedding in a beautiful Catholic Chapel.  

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Farley

We danced the night away!  I wish I would have taken more photos but was in the moment of such an amazing wedding.  It was a beautiful venue and we all had such a wonderful time celebrating these two wonderful people becoming one!!

Reese partied all night long and was so slap happy at the end...

Mornings

Mornings are my favorite time of day!  When you start to move around in your crib and make that pitiful sound trying to call me into your room over the baby monitor.  As I walk into your room you are silent listening and looking for someone to peer in at you.  The smile you give me melts my heart and makes me feel so loved.  You open your mouth wide as I lean in and kiss you goodmorning.  

You wake up full of energy and ready to cuddle and play.  You make all kinds of noises trying to tell Mommy about your dreams.  I can't stop wispering I love you!!  The love we share is so amazing.  It is a bond no one can break.  It is a love that is so deep, a love that makes my heart skip a beat.  Reese Mommy loves you to pieces and wouldn't trade these mornings for anything!  XOXO

My Baby Doll

You are the baby doll Mommy dreamed of having!  You are perfect from your head to your toes!  I love dressing you up and finding a headband to complete your ensemble.  When I was a little girl my Mommy and Daddy would take me to the toy store to pick out a toy.  Everytime I walked out of the store I had a new dolly in hand and a smile on my face.  I would buy real baby clothes for my dolls and take them everywhere I went.  I couldn't wait to be a Mommy...and I am!  My dream came true and I was blessed with you.

You sure love to dress up and always smile when I show you how pretty you are.  

You had so much fun trying on shoes for the very first time.  You loved feeling the different textures and yes tasting them too!  Everything you touch has to get tasted!

Reese is 4 Months

Our little one is 4 months old and turning into her own little person.  She is always smiling and just learned to roll over.  She is 15 pounds and 24 1/2 inches long.  Her favorite toy is her keys.  Key to her new crib, key to her ride (stroller) and key to her Mommy's heart.  She loves being in her Daddy's arms as long as she isn't hungry.  We love her so very much and just can't get enough of her.  xoxo

Pool Baby!

Baby Reese took her first dip in the pool this weekend with Mommy and Daddy!  She loved it and is a little fish!  She looked so stinkin' cute in her new bathing suit!  Just look and see...

Splish splash this is sure a big bath!

Mommy was so proud of how brave and fearless she was. 

She loved back floating around in a circle with Daddy!

Swimming is sure a workout!! 

 Reese fell fast asleep the moment Mommy wrapped her up in a towel.

Horray for the RED, WHITE and BLUE

What a fun Fourth we shared as a family!  We started the morning with the Georgetown parade which was the shortest parade in all of history but we had fun taking Reese out to celebrate her first Fourth of July!

Then in the evening we headed over to the Pflugerville Pfirecracker Pfestival to enjoy a firework show!  We packed a picnic full of cheese, crackers, salami, olives and cup cakes for dessert.  

I love being in my Daddy's arms!!

Thank you for my fun glow flag Mama Mac!!

Our evening ended with glow sticks and fireworks flickering in the night sky.  We couldn't of asked for better weather as the cool breeze made the eveing so pleasant.  Heading home our sweet little one fell fast asleep dreaming of RED, WHITE and BLUE!!

Happy Birthday America,  we love to celebrate our freedom!!

A-Stay-At-Home-Mommy

Being a Mommy is one of the best gifts I have ever opened!  My little girl is growing up and I get to watch every move she makes!  All summer I have gone back and forth on going back to work or staying at home.  I have come to realize that my little girl means the world to me and if that means pushing the pause button on my life to stay home and shower her in love and attention then I am all for it!!

We enjoy mornings of rolling around in bed laughing, talking and snuggling!

The bond between a mother and child is amazing!!  She smiles at me with so much love and trust!  I still look into Luke's eyes and say, "Can you believe this is our little girl to love and grow."  My very favorite time of every day is when it is time for her to eat.  She looks so safe and happy in my arms as she fills her belly with milk.  Her long fingers grasp my hands and as my lips kiss her hand she smiles with a mouth full of milk.  What an amazing gift it is to be a mother!

Staying at home is a dream come true!  Reese, I am so excited to give you all my love and attention.  Luke, thank you for making this sacrifice with me and loving our daughter to pieces.  

XOXO
