Valentine's weekend

This weekend, me and Riley went up to the snow for 2 days with my parents. Nate could't go cause he had work... which was not fun! But here are some pics from the snow...



She got a little tired or maybe too comfy on grandma's lap...









When we FINALLY got home (it felt like we had been gone forever cause we both have never left Nate) I walked in the door and found this on the table! I love him!!!

What I get to wake up to...

This morning I woke up, tired as can be, to Riley fussing of hunger. (I say fussing, because she honestly does not really ever cry... she just fusses so cute!!) So I get up, make her a bottle, put her next to me in bed and start feeding it to her. then I look at her, and I just see this little baby girl who is so perfect in every single way. She was looking up at the light, and as tired as I was, and as badly as I wanted to just fall asleep feeding her, I could't stop staring at her. I just looked at her, with my brain racing of all the things she makes me want to be. And of how this little girl, who I have only known for three month, makes so much of who I am. I can't get over how in love with her I am. And how much she makes my life complete. I never could have imagined the way being a mother would have been. I did think of it, honestly probably every single day since I was 12, and I thought that it was going to be the best thing in the world. I did not know, however, and I could not comprehend how much I would love my baby though. And how spiritual as well as wonderful it is being a mom.




And then she pops the bottle out and looks at me with her perfect face. And I can't help but think I have the most beautiful mornings every day, because this is what I get every morning!

Our family's Journal Blog

I have never been good at keeping a journal, even though I would love to. So I have decided that I am going to use our blog as sort of a journal of our lives. So that as our kids grow up they can see it and look at the things that have happened in our lives. and the funny things that they do and say and things like that.

Ha I am also not good a blogging so this might be tough to do, but I would like to remember all the memories that we make, esp. now that we have started our family. So this could be fun for me! I just hope that I actually keep up with it, and remember to take pictures during the week!

So today I begin my attempt at journaling/blogging of our little family!
