Nearly One.. Where has time gone? April 13, 2010

I no longer have a baby. I have a little girl. A few weeks back, Alana began effectively walking and by now she just cruises around the house. She’s so adorable about it. Each day she becomes more and more confident and I can see that any day now she’ll be running. The best part [...]

So in love February 21, 2010

I absolutely love watching Alana grow into a little girl. She’s quickly becoming more dynamic and full of personality. Lately she’s been doing some new things that bring out the little ham in her. She waves at everyone and loves to say “hi” with a super high pitch. it’s so cute.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTcbs4q3pAc She’s also become amazingly [...]

My memories.. a reminder to keep hers January 21, 2010

We are blessed that our parents are close enough that they can visit us often. Both because we get to see them and because they have the chance to stay close to Alana. She grows and changes so fast… I’m sure it’s a trip for them each time they visit. My mom arrived for a [...]

Coming to terms with reality January 2, 2010

Reality is that I can’t seem to find the time to get on here and blog as often as I would like. Between the holidays, keeping up with our house, work, and of course, spending time with Alana and Matt, it’s hard to sneak a few minutes in to write about it. I will make [...]

She’s a crawler! I’m a slacker! December 11, 2009

I’m such a slacker. I need to blog more. Soo many amazing things are happening that should be captured in words, but I don’t blog enough. Well here I am, guilty as charged, but ready to redeem myself with a recap of the past month. Alana’s really accomplished a lot in the past month. I [...]

Ode to Alephant November 9, 2009

Sometimes I get down on myself because my life can seem boring… I start thinking that way when I think about all of the things I used to do for fun and how I don’t do any of those things anymore. Then I realize, my life is so far from boring. Being a mom is [...]

New House. New Life. New Love October 26, 2009

Anyone who knows me knows that this has been an amazing year for me and my family. It started off with Matt & I getting married, by May we had our amazing little girl, and just this month we purchased our first home. It’s really been a fruitful year for us and it feels even [...]

I heart Alana October 6, 2009

Once upon a time I heard one or two or three people tell me that they never knew how much they could love until they had a baby. I discretely rolled my eyes… at least on the inside. Let me tell you something today. I never knew I could love this much until I met Alana. Each day that love grows greater and greater and sometimes it’s so intense it makes me cry. She makes everything bad good, everything sad happy and everything wrong right. It’s truly the most incredible thing to ever happen in my life. I guess I’m one of those people….

Life’s been way too exciting :) September 19, 2009

I have been neglecting my blog. Life’s been way too exciting and there’s been little time to write about it. Where to begin… Alana and I took her first long plane ride last week to Chicago. I went on business but brought her along to meet our family there. What a great opporunity to spend [...]

Drool Everywhere! August 18, 2009

She’s drooling all over the place (Never mind the fact that I just had to look up the spelling for drool). I thought for sure it was too early for her to be teething.. but I guess I was wrong. I have never seen someone slobber so much… not even the dog. Alana is absolutely [...]
