Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween
We look forward to spending the evening with the family. This will be the first night we try our evening bedtime routine at a grandparents house. We are pack and play ready and hope for the best. It will be a good 2 years before Halloween is fun for him, I think. He woke up smiling today which is amazing. It really does affect the start of my day, which means today is a great day!
Always remember to BEE yourself!!

Crying

I know that he needs sleep. But, he just wants to fight it. The look in his eyes when I go to comfort him is a heartbreaker. He grabs so tight to my finger when I place it on his palm to let him know I am there. But then, that sweet surrender and peaceful silence of rest. What a good boy.

Getting my feet wet

Some dear mommies in my life have encouraged me to start a blog and I think this will be a good thing for me. A place to put out my thoughts, simply to get them down on "paper" :) we are so electronic.
Who Am I? Let's start with that. Who am I today may be better. I am a woman, a wife, a mother. I think in that order. I am a playful person that loves to be around other people. I like to be warm, not cold. I love christmas and Disney. I love being around Family. I love kissing my son's cheeks. I work hard when I have a task in front of me. I am a homebody at heart. I enjoy taking pictures. I am tall. I know that may seem like a weird thing to define part of who I am, but it does. I view the world from a different place. Sometimes I try to be small, which is ironic because I am a small :) but in all honesty I don't need to be. I can be tall and bright and proud. I have a degree in organizational communication and I feel like it has served me well. I am living in transition which is hard. I never liked change, then growing up I had to deal with it a lot moving. But the last 7 years I have been developing roots and now I am back to change and transition. I think I am learning to deal with it well.
I feel that is a good start.
