Jelly Bean

Warning:  Long videos ahead of a proud mommy's little girl just being a little girl. 

We have a walker on our hands.  She has been dabbling in walking for a while but we could only get her to take a couple steps and then she'd lunge herself forward right into our arms.  The day she turned 13 months, she decided it was time for her to let go of her inhibitions and officially join the land of the bipeds.

Scarlett loves being up on furniture.  When she get's the opportunity she giggles and throws herself into cushions.  I caught her on the tail end of her gleeful enjoyment so it's toned down quite a bit...  That's why it's so long because I was hoping to catch the excitement as from the start of it.  I can't help but call her my Jelly Bean as she flip flops all over on the couch.

Daddy's Importance!

For so many reasons, I think a dad is vital to a child being raised in our world today.  Well, really for ever and any time but especially today.  I am a stay at home mommy and I love my job.  I am so blessed to be given the opportunity and the heart to stay home with my kids and mold them with every chance I can have in a day.  That opportunity is given to me by none other than my loving and supportive husband!  Aside from Christ himself, my husband is our rock in our family!  But by the end of the day, I'm exhausted.  I'm pretty much ready to get them fed and put my lil' rascals to bed.  And then there's Daddy!

He comes home after his long day of work and what does he do?  He plays non stop with the kiddies until it's time for bed.  That hour or two of unsolicited love and attention would be void in their life without wonderful Daddy!  We love you Daddy!

And daddy's everywhere who are your family's rock and playful mate- a BIG THANKS!  You guys are awesome and we couldn't do it without you!

It's official

I've been lazy about my blog since facebook is so easy and quick.  But here is my official announcement!
We're expecting baby #3 in late November/ early December!  What a whirlwind my life will be the next several years!! 
Scarlett and Riley were 21 months apart and this one will be about 18 months from Scarlett.  That's three kids 3 and under!!  YIKES- putting it in writing is kinda scary!  But it was planned.  We love our children and have wanted another...  so here we go!
