Being a Mommy

Becoming a mom really changes your life. It starts off all sweet and innocent. And then comes your first sleepless night, topped off by a blowout diaper and spit-up down your shirt. Here are some snippets of the past eight months...kind-of like a walk in my shoes. ;)

Some days you feel like you're in over your head.

You may feel right at home...

And then realize that the world is laughing at you.

But you've gotta keep your chin up...

And expect some days to feel like this.

Because sometimes you'll feel this small.

You gotta keep looking over your shoulder...

Because you never know who's watching.

Some days you just feel like garbage.

And others make your hair stand on end.

You'll find yourself at a loss for words.

And sometimes you feel like the butt of the joke.

Like life has taken a bite out of you.

And your whole world is turned upside down.

But when you feel like you can't take another bite of what life has to offer...

Take time to stop and smell the roses (or whatever flower is closest)...

And realize that it's all going to work out in the end.

Who's Your Daddy?

Really, could there be any doubt?

Chase's Dedication

We finally had Chase dedicated over Christmas weekend. I know, I know. He's already seven and a half months! But we wanted Kevin's dad to handle the dedication, so we waited until we went "home" to Louisiana for Christmas.

Look at that proud Grammy. And the kids were so cute on stage...
Chase did great...

And then McKenna started playing with him...at which point I just squeezed my eyes shut to keep from laughing at them.
