Welcome!!

This is my new place to reflect on my day as a wife and a mom. I always get Alex to sleep at night, sit down and replay my day in my mind. I reflect on new things that he did, faces he made and how many times he made me laugh. I always hope that I will not forget anything but that is hard. Hopefully this keep my memories fresh and help to share our life with family and friends.


I will say that two of my best friends live out of town and I don't get to seem them often. They don't get to see Alex grow up like I wish they could. I am hoping this will be a way for them to keep in touch and see Alex as he learns new things and grows up to be a big boy. Honestly, I would rather have them here but I guess this will do until then. :)


Each day I hope to post at least one story about Alex and a picture of him so you guys won't miss a thing. I also want to post a bible verse each day that has something to do with what I am going through or how I am feeling. I am hoping doing that will get me introduced to the Bible again and get me reading it more often. I know that I will have a TON of funny stories to share because Alex makes me laugh so much!! He poops on me at least once a day and always has a way of doing something absolutely crazy and hilarious.


I have been reading a few blogs lately that have really touched my heart. They are stories about families that have had babies with a neural tube defect called Anencaphaly. It is not something I ever imagined coming across but when I did It changed my life. I keep up on them daily and it really makes me realize how blessed I am to have Alex and how God really works in these families lives. Here are a few that I read:

Here is a little bit about what has been going on in our lives lately. Mike got promoted to grocery manager at his new store. He really loves his job and is great at what he does. I left my job at Kid's Kountry to spend more time with Alex. I am currently helping run Jungle Kid's Consignment with my friend Theresa. I absolutely LOVE what I am doing and I get to take Alex with me so it is a double bonus!! I feel like Alex has grown up in just one week. He got in his first tooth, started pulling and and crawling all last week. I loved watching it but it also made me sad to see him being so independent. I am looking for a small part-time job in the mornings to make a little bit of extra cash and to get some ME time. It will let me get away for a couple hours and give me the change to spend on Mr. Alex for his first birthday!!! He will be one on July 1st...whooo hooo...

Well, this is all for now. I will be on later tonight after little man goes to sleep to post. Thanks for reading!!
