1, 3, 6, 23, 28

The Numbers above represent milestones that took place during the past two weeks.

1 - Happy 1 year to my blog! My friend Stephanie introduced me to the blogging world last April and my life has never been the same! I love to write about what is going on in our life and I also love to read up on the lives of my blogger friends. I look forward to sharing a lot more milestones, stories, and pictures with you!

3 - This week is my 3 month (official) anniversary of becoming a Stay At Home Mom. I left teaching in October to have Austin with expectations of going back to work for the remainder of the year in January. However life happened and it was time for me to hang up my teaching hat and stay home with my babies. There will never be a better gift than this opportunity that I have to stay home with my children. I never take it for granted. As I know with the economy anything could happen. Don't get me wrong, I miss teaching. However there isn't any amount of money that could make me go back to being with other people's children all day while I was away from my own. I became a SAHM on a leap of faith and I have never looked back.

6 - My sweet baby boy Austin turned 6 months today. Where has a 1/2 of a year gone? It went by way to fast. I am so grateful that I have been home savoring each day of his life. 6 months marks a lot of milestones, Austin is sitting up, doing the superman in preparation for crawling, has learned that he can get places by rolling, loves to laugh and smile, has finally started to eat some solids (but still prefers to nurse and he would 24 hours a day if he could), and lots of drool means a tooth is probably on its way. And he is a BIG boy - we go next week for his 6 month well visit, but to let you know how big he is, clothes wise he wears 9-12 months! They are a little long sometimes, but 6 months is too small around the belly and chunky legs! I love this little boy to pieces!

23 - My sweet boy Logan is 23 months today, that means in one month he will turn 2. 2 years went by in a flash. When I think how fast they went by and that in another 2 years he will be 4! It makes me sad. I am so lucky to get to spend all day every day with him. Logan and I start swimming lessons in 2 weeks! We go to the library and pick out books and the park is by far his favorite place to be. Hearing him talk brings even more joy to our lives. He knows animals and the sounds they make, can count 1, 2, 3, tries to sing songs, I could go on and on about our big boy. We are planning his 2nd bday party - of course a Barney party! I just picked up the invites today - sooo cute.

28 - I turned 28 last week! It was a great birthday. My husband and mom did something special for me each day of that week. Brian & the boys got me a laptop and a Vera Bradley laptop case - my very own computer now he can have his computer and man room back:)! I got a lot of other great things from my family and Brian's family. I am spoiled, but VERY appreciative.

So pictures from my birthday and Easter are coming - there are only like 500 to sort through. Oh and pictures from my brother Ryan's bday (the boys went to their first Braves game) will also be included. This weekend Brian and I are going to Charleston, well actually Pawley's Island, SC for a wedding (our first time leaving the boys for a weekend and I am still nursing this should be interesting). Then on Thursday I am flying to PA with the boys and my parents to visit family for a few days. We return home on Monday. We have a free weekend then its Mother's Day weekend and the Logan's birthday weekend, and then two weeks later Brian and I are going to Las Vegas for a few days! Lots of things to look forward to, but also keeping in mind that God is all around us and our faith is the reason we have this beautiful life.
