Bailey {Great Dog}

We lost our dear Bailey on Saturday, January 23rd. Although I knew this day would come "someday"... I never wanted it to be now. How can you count the precious 13 1/2 years she brightened our life as "enough"? She was my first "baby" so I thought it only appropriate to post one last picture of {My Girls}

{Cousins} Naomi and Delaney

Delaney and Naomi had a blast over the New Year holiday. I joke that I really miss Delaney when Naomi is around because I never see her--they are too busy playing. We love you, Naomi. Thanks for coming to visiting!

Addison at 8 Months

Megan and Nyko

My beautiful sister, Megan and her huge "puppy"

I found them!!!!

Can you believe that my car keys have been "lost" for 6 months--since before Addison arrived. I had looked through every purse, bag, jacket, etc, that I could think of and they were no where. I figured that pregnancy brain had finally gotten the best of me and I had thrown them away or something. I gave up on them and even asked Jonathan to order me a new key from the dealership only to find out a new key was $225!!! Needless to say, we did not order the new key.

Last night I was feeding Addison up in my room and little Jonathan came running into the room jingling keys. Guess what keys they were? MY KEYS!!! Yeah!

Guess where they were? In the couch. (Gee... do you think I need to clean under the couch cushions more?)

What we remember...

I saw this quote today and had to make a note of it:

"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them."---Richard L. Evans

I have to remember that when I have a 4 year old crying and screaming at me because I only let her get one (piece of junk) at the Dollar Store instead of two!

Perspective.... Perspective....
