S-E-V-E-N

To my girl,

I cannot even believe I have a beautiful SEVEN year old- you've been way too excited to grow up lately and it makes my mama heart hurt just a smidge.  As much as I LOVE watching you grow, it pains me to see it all happen so fast.  You continue to make your daddy and me so proud every day.  You are such a hard worker in all things - school, dance, art, you name it.  You are so focused and intent on learning and I just love watching your love of learning. You are constantly writing daddy and me sweet little notes, you love to write in journals and have gotten into bracelet making/art kits a ton! You are extremely well behaved OUTSIDE of the house (hint hint... can we work on that?!)...  but seriously, all of your teachers talk about how sweet and respectful you are and what a wonderful LISTENER you are- somehow that doesn't always transfer to the house and being a good listener for mama and daddy, but we still love you no matter what.  You are extremely sensitive and have become quite attached to mama the past 6 months (I'm not complaining!).  You get anxious about some things and only want mama when that happens, but we are working thru it!  Your brothers are definitely starting to get on your nerves more the older you get, but you are still so sweet with them and play with them for the most part.  

I'm loving watching your love of dance develop, who knows where that will go and how long it will last- but I sure enjoy seeing you get so excited about it!  You are also quite the little artist and enjoy drawing.  You got roller skates from Santa and have loved learning how to skate, you've become quite good and impressed us all at your birthday party!  

There's not enough words or time for me to ever adequately tell you how much I love you, you are our baby girl and we are forever grateful that God chose us to be YOUR mama and daddy.  We love you SO big and are so proud of you always,  Happy big number SEVEN, sweet girl!






From baby to beauty in the blink of an eye!

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...
