Mommy Affirmation

Tonight a couple of kids came over to play so that their dad could help Jason with some manual labor stuff. The kids had a blast playing play-doh, having pillow fights, running the circle in the house, and listening to a story I read them called, "Charlie and the Christmas Kitten." The greatest part of the evening for me was just after I had read them the story and Allison came up to me and softly said, "Mom, you were really great tonight!" Then, she gave me a quick hug with a loving smile and proceeded to chase after her friend. Her affirmation felt so good and unexpected! I'm still on cloud 9! Looking in her eyes, I could literally see how proud she was of me and how thankful she was that I was chilled about the messes and into having fun with the kids. I'm so thankful that I get to be Allison and Reid's mommy!

In October, we had some family pictures taken at Cann Garden. You wouldn't believe how hot it was that day! But contrary to all the sweating, I think our pictures turned out beautifully! Reid is so ornery while Allison is so calm. This day also happened to be Allison's 7th Birthday! I can't believe how big both my babies are getting. Everyday, I find myself in awe and somewhat disbelief at just how blessed I am to be married to such an amazing man and having two beautiful, kind children as a result of that. 

This picture really captures the real Allison!

Love the men in my life!

Isn't she absolutely beautiful?!

Yowza! That is one good looking' cowboy! ;)
