Life Gets Busy



Going Home!

 Some days I think life gets moving and forgets to slow down. Our baby girl arrived November 7, 2010 and although she's been with us 2 months, it feels like it was just yesterday that we first laid eyes on our beautiful little girl. She definitely brings more joy to life than I ever thought possible. It amazes me how much I can love her and some days I fear that it's never enough. Will I ever be able to love her as much as she truly deserves? I can only try. I pray that one day she'll understand how much her daddy and I love her. I also pray that she'll get to know God and trust Him as we have.

Bri is growing so fast! She smiles all the time and is such a happy little girl. I love how alert she is and how she's always making sure that she knows what's going on around her. Right now her favorite things are her hands and a little crinkle toy that she can wear on her wrist. It's so fun to watch her playing. She's already an independent little one and can entertain herself. She's a great sleeper and has been since day one. It really makes things easy on me! She had her first set of shots on Tuesday and has done really well with them. She was a bit fussy Tuesday evening but has been completely fine since then. She woke up yesterday morning in such a great mood!

Justin and I have been doing well at adjusting to Bri. Justin was able to spend 3 weeks with us before heading off to training and was gone for 3 weeks. We're grateful that he was able to come home for a couple of weeks for Christmas. It's hard, sometimes, living the military life especially when he has to be gone so much but it's always just another adjustment that we make. We definitely learn not to take our time together for granted as much!
