5 Months Tomorrow

Well I can't believe it. Katie will be 5 months old tomorrow. She is getting so big. She is now eating all kinds of food and she loves all of it. If she loves her vegetables this much I can't imagine how much she will love her fruit. She still is not rolling over, but is trying to sit up. I love putting her in dresses but we have a bit of a problem. She pulls her dress up over her head constantly. Her daddy has had talks with her about this, but she just doesn't listen. I told him to get used to it...LOL Anyway, here are pictures and video of this little monkey.

Blessings

Have you ever just sat and thought about all of your blessings? I have been doing that today. There are way too many to count. The Lord has blessed me with more than I could even ask for. My anniversary is tomorrow. I can't believe sometimes that I am actually a mother, wife, and teacher. These are the three things I have wanted in life since I can remember. How many people get everything they have dreamed of. Not too many. I have a wonderful husband who puts up with me, a family who loves me, friends who take care of me, and a daughter who can't get enough of me. I have a house, food to eat, a job, transportation, every thing that I need. I am so grateful. I love the Lord and everything He has blessed me with. Count your blessings and see what you come up with. It will amaze you!

Big Girl!

Katie is getting so big. She is learning how to do so many things. She is trying to sit up. She does good for a few minutes and then she topples if you are not there to catch her. She loves eating if you can't tell. She is ready for a steak but carrots, peas, and green beans will have to do for right now. She is trying to roll over, but she just can't seem to get that leg to flop over.

We are making it ok without Adam. I have made a big improvement. I don't cry every time I talk to him on the phone. like I was doing a few days ago. I miss him but he sounds happy on the phone so that makes me feel better. He already has a new friend who lives next door and he has a new pet (blue fish named Max). I will see him soon. Here are some pictures and video of the BIG GIRL!

SO SAD!

Well saying goodbye to Adam and Regan last night was I think the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Adam did not want to say goodbye. I told him he could call me anytime he wanted. He said he did not know my number. He wanted me to write it on paper for him. Then later mom told me he wrote his number on a paper plate and taped it to the fireplace. He told Nana and Grandaddy that they could call him whenever they needed to. He also informed Grandaddy that this was the last night he would be spending the night in America! Poor baby does not even understand. What am I going to do without hearing those funny things everyday. I am going to miss them so much. I am counting down until July 11th when they come home to go to the beach. Katie is talking in her seat now. She is such a taker these days. Have a great day!

Memorial Weekend

It has been awhile since I have posted. We were busy this past week. I have been trying to spend as much time as I possibly can with Adam He is leaving day after tomorrow. He spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday night with us. We had so much fun. All of us were busy playing the whole weekend. He had fun helping me with katie. She loves him so much. When he is around she keeps her eyes glued to him. Tomorrow the three of us, Adam, Katie, and myself are going to the mall. Adam loved his tie on his tux so much that he wants one of his own. I told him I would get him one. This will be my last day with him for over a month. At least I can count down the days until July 11th when he comes back for a week. Here are a few more pictures. We finally got all 5 babies in the family together for a picture.

Wedding Weekend

Well we made it through wedding. It was so perfect. My sister was so beautiful. Adam walked her down the aisle and he looked so precious in his tux. Regan and Jason are in Cancun probably having the time of their life. We had a lot of out of town company. It was so great to see everyone.

Katie started eating green beans tonight. She loved them. She acted like she had been eating them for forever.

My heart.

This blog tonight is more for my therapy than anything. Most of you know Regan is getting married and moving to Illinois. That means Adam ( my "first" first born) is leaving. I have not really come to terms with it. I just kept telling myself that is was a long way off and that I had plenty of time to spend with him. Now it is just two weeks away and I think tonight my heart began to break. This is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I don't want to say goodbye to that precious boy.
