Smiles, Snot and a lot of Sass.

All this teething is making Abbi's nose run like a river, but she is still as happy and sassy as ever! And for those moments where she isn't happy (understandable right? 4 teeth!), Tylenol has become our best friend! I love that she still giggles and laughs, crawls and climbs, eats food and toys and throws food and toys. This mama is grateful that Abbi handles teething so well! It makes my life a lot easier too! 

Happy Valentine's Day

I never imagined loving someone so much! Drew Wright, you are the peanut to my butter, the diet to my coke, the salt to my pepper and the mac to my cheese. We go together, it's as simple as that. Thank you for choosing me. I couldn't imagine life without you. Happy Valentine's Day!

No Good Very Bad day.

Ever feel like this? Like it's only been a few hours since I woke up but i'm already ready for the day to be done so I can go back to sleep... We are fighting colds at our house. My best friends these days are my box of tissues, sleep, and Alka-Seltzer Plus tablets (Oh and Drew too, He is always my best friend). All I want to do is stay in my pajamas, grab a blanket lay on the couch and watch Hairspray or Runaway Bride. 

But...

There is a GIANT pile on laundry on my couch waiting for me to fold it.

Another pile of laundry in a basket waiting for me to wash it.

Dishes need to be done.

Baby won't sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time and when she is awake, she isn't happy.

I HAVE to shower and get ready for the day because less than an hour from now I am supposed to be on campus for a group meeting.

Then...

There is a split moment where I glance down at my baby girl while I am feeding her, we make eye contact and she gives me the biggest smile I have seen from her yet. Somehow that makes me forget about all the negative things that have happened during my day. Somehow all I can think about is how grateful I am to be her mother. I'm grateful that God blessed me with the ability to have children and then the same baby who I was irritated with because she wouldn't sleep became the baby that made my day a Bajillion times better. 

Thankful Thursday: Precious.

Today I am SO thankful for my precious baby girl. She is the best thing that has happened to Drew and I. She honestly brings so much joy and happiness into our lives. When I found out we were having a girl I was excited, but didn't know what to expect. I'm no "girly girl". Now that she is here, I can't imagine feeling more love than I feel for her right now. We love you Abbi girl. You are our world! 

Thankful Thursday: Something.

Something about him makes it hard to think of anything else. Today I am Thankful for my husband. He is so Considerate, Caring, Loving, Selfless, Sincere and much much more. He is the BEST father to our sweet Abbigail. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I love you Drew. 

Happy Month of Thanksgiving!
