Happy 1st Birthday girls!

Happy 1st birthday Addyson, Brooklyn, and Caitlyn! What a year it has been! This is an emotional day for me thinking about all that we have been through over the past year. It wasn't always easy, and there was lots of trial and error, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Time has gone by so fast and I treasure each and every minute that we have had together. A year ago, it was a very scary day for me but it turned into the best day of my life. I have three beautiful, healthy girls. You will never comprehend the depth of my love for you. I cannot wait to see all that the next year holds for you! Have a very happy birthday!

Hope you enjoy the slideshow of the past year. More pics to come soon.....

Never a dull moment

As if things weren't crazy enough around here, getting ready for the girls' birthday and Christmas, we found out yesterday that they all have ear infections, and Addyson even has a double ear infection! Three babies with ear infections is no fun! We started antibiotics yesterday and the girls seem to be feeling better. Please pray for a speedy recovery for the girls. We almost made it a whole year without any illness!

Breakfast with Santa

The girls went to Breakfast with Santa today at our church. They had a great time with their cousin Mason and good friend Whitney. I wasn't sure how the whole Santa thing would go, but they actually did pretty good. Well, two out of three isn't too bad. Caitlyn was up first, followed by Addyson, and then Brooklyn. By the end though it was naptime and they had had enough!


Patiently waiting for everyone to get done eating


Caitlyn feeling a little under the weather


Addyson checking out the presents


"Hmmm...you don't seem too bad"


"I'll give mom my deer in the headlights look"


"Get me off of here before I lose it"


"Have I been naughty or nice....let me think about that one!"


"I think nice!"


And finally the group shot.....



I love it!

Christmas Preview

I just had to post this picture because I think the girls look so cute in their Christmas dresses. Of course none of them are smiling but getting them to all look at the camera is good enough! Hope this gets you in the holiday spirit!

My Chloe

Last week, the day before Thanksgiving, I had to say goodbye to my dear pug Chloe. She was truly my first "baby." Chloe was diagnosed with Cushing's disease earlier this year and over the past few months her health quickly deteriorated. We believe that in the past few weeks she had a stroke and I could no longer bare to watch her suffer in pain. Losing her has been hard on me, as our house just isn't the same. But I know that she is in a better place.

I just wanted to write something small about Chloe in her honor. She will forever be loved and missed. This is a picture of Chloe and our other dog Duke.
