Photo Shoot

One of my favorite things to do is to take pictures of my little girl, but I must say that at this point it is EXTREMELY difficult. She doesn't stay in one place & she will not look at the camera. We had lots of fun though.

Memorial Day Beach Week

Every year over Memorial Day we go to Scott's parents beach house with the whole family.

Mothers Day

For the past 5 or so years, Mother's Day has been bittersweet for me. The hardest holiday of the year for sure & lots of tears (for sure!) Two years ago, I was pregnant with Addalie on Mother's Day & it was so special because that was the FIRST time that I felt her move. Last year on Mother's Day I was pregnant again, but didn't know it yet. And this year, as we are walking through some of the same things that we did before Addalie came along, I am trying to remind myself that God 's plan for our family is His best. I feel like He is doing very specific things in my heart & using this as a tool to work in us. As much as Scott & I would love for Addalie to have siblings....(she won't possibly be an only child will she??? she is already so spoiled...this can't be good. =)) we don't know what our future holds & that is probably the hardest part in all of it. Every day, I quietly & inwardly wrestle with my flesh & thoughts & at the same time, I rejoice & relish in the gift that He has given us. Motherhood is the best earthly thing that I have experienced thus far...(apart from marriage) & if Addalie is the only child that God entrusts us with, she is far more than we could have imagined. She is a gift & as the months go by, I am reminded that she is a miracle.
