Happy Halloween!!!!!!


It has been such a long week for us!! Brian has been fighting the flu so we have pretty much been stuck inside for the weekend! We were so excited to dress Miss Adelynn up as a ladybug for her first Halloween, but with Brian being sick we weren't able to go out as planned. We still got her all dressed up at home and she and I managed to make it over to my parents house for a short visit! She got very excited over her costume!

Everyday I wake up I am reminded just how blessed I truely am. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful little girl, and wonderful friends. Next week, our baby girl will be 9 months old. It's hard to believe how quickly 9 months has passed us by, yet I am so amazed by how much she has taught me over the short time she has been in our lives. I often find myself worrying and stressing over even the most trivial things, but Adelynn is helping me to realize it's sometimes just much easier to let things be. I'm learning it's ok to let her explore and not be right behind her pulling her away from things. I want her to be safe, but I don't want to hold her back from learning and experiencing things on her own. My house may not always be spotless... There may be pots and pans all over my kitchen floor, laundry which has not been folded and now thrown all over, and I may even ocassionally find a piece of the dogs food in her mouth (I know, gross! And GERMS..that's a whole other story for another time) but I love watching her explore and learn. So for now, I am going to try my hardest not to stress over my house being orderly and neat and let her just play and enjoy herself!
