To Teach

I guess this layout was inspired by my starting back to work next week.
For Treat of the Month at the Sweet Shoppe, I chose to use First Bell by Amanda Heimann and Lauren Grier. I used a glass Atomic Cupcake action on the alpha.You can find this kit here at the Sweet Shoppe: http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=3202

Now for Sydney's big news.....drum roll please....she started crawling yesterday! Complete crawling forward. I can't believe my baby is getting sooooo big! She's still slow at it but defintely moving those little legs and feet forward. Of course it help when Momma is laying in the floor in front of her for motivation! Here are some pics for you to check out!

Where did my summer go?

Summer is quickly going by. I am enjoying my last week at home with my girls before starting back to work next week. It's always exciting getting to meet a new classroom full of students however I will miss Gracie and Sydney terribly. Sydney is ever so slightly crawling, saying mumumumum, and eating off the table. Where did my baby go? It's so bittersweet watching the girls grow up. I am blessed. Here are a couple of recent pictures of the girls:

FOBTY 6/26

I have had many great birthdays but I would have to say my 31st was by far the best. That was the first birthday I had being a mom. My whole life I couldn't wait to have a child. After struggling for over two years and two miscarriages to have a baby, we finally did. I have never known a love like that...it changes you in so many ways;it makes me a better person. Being a mom is the greatest birthday present I've ever or shall ever receive. I never gave up during those two years of fertility. And for that persistence, I was rewarded. I've always been a firm believer in never giving up. Go for what you want in life and don't let anything stop you. WE CHOOSE how our life goes. And those choices we make helps determine our success and happiness.

Oh yes, and I have to give a shout out to ANGELA and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!

My Girlie Girl

My two year old has some tomboy in her but at heart she is such a girlie girl. She LOVES to dress up and twirl around to show off her latest fashion. She puts on her play high heels and struts around like she is it! lol She is sooo much fun to watch!
