Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mom's 66th birthday....Happy Birthday Mom!
For those of you who don't know, my mom passed away a year and a half ago! This is the second birthday without her, oh how I miss calling her on the phone to wish her a happy birthday.

I've thought a lot about her this past week for many reasons, but mainly because her birthday was coming up. At times I feel like I quite haven't healed yet and then I think, can you ever heal from losing one of the most important people in your life? Not a day goes by without a thought of her and her beautiful face. Sometimes, I even hear her laugh. She was and still is my best friend. It's hard for me to express how much I miss her. The little things, like an "I love you" when I would call, her soft hand in mine, or a tight secure hug only a mother could give.

I always knew she loved me, she was ALWAYS so good at making me feel loved. But I never knew how much she really loved me until I had my sweet little Elley Joyce. I just wish now I could wrap my arms around her and tell her thank you for loving me so much. One day I will do just that. I am thankful to know that families are forever. She is so special, she will always be in my heart, and I will think of her everyday. She is with me, I know she is. I love her with all my heart!

A Baby Boy

Congratulations to our good friends David and Whitney who are expecting a little boy this summer......A little David Jr.

My Cousin Macey

Elley and cousin Macey....without a binkey...both of them, it's a miracle!

Hi Macey

The Mountain Dew "No No"

Adam's brother Andrew is staying at our house for a little while...... I don't know if this is such a good idea considering the fact that I found my 13 month old daughter with a Mountain Dew in her hand. I do have to say that it's not like he gave it to her....she just likes to get into things and found it in the garbage. Oh well, she's got to try the stuff sometime.

This is Elley and her Uncle Andrew

Story Time!!!

Elley loves looking at her books. She now knows the word story and when we sit down to read with her she will bring us book after book. All we have to say is, "go get another story" and off she goes to her stack of books. She doesn't sit very still for very long except when she's looking at her books. It's fun for me to sit and read with her. I love seeing her turn the pages and lift up the flaps. Here are some pictures of her with her books.

Be Patient Mommy

So, I'm having a hard time waiting for Elley's hair to grow in.....can't you tell. I know this looks ridiculous (don't worry, I didn't leave them in) but I just couldn't help but try.
