What a week! It's crazy how quickly time goes by. I remember hearing my parents say that when I was younger and I always thought they were crazy. But it is so true. The older I get the more I cherish my time with the ones I love. I am so blessed with such a wonderful family - and it keeps growing! I think I am really learning to slow down and enjoy each day. But with that said... Jordan and I bought a house and close in March. Jordan was gone for work for 4 days and is gone today and tomorrow picking up his car in Boston. So as much as I know it's important to slow down and enjoy life, there is much to be done! Esp in the coming months! I have to be honest; I almost had a nervous break down when Jordan told me they accepted our offer on the house. All I could think about was being alone with Sophie...all the time! (ha, ha) We have been so blessed by my parents with them letting us stay with them while we were looking for a house. And for me that meant so much help adjusting to being a mom. I think Jordan knew right away why I was so quiet when he told me because after 30 seconds of silence he assured me we wouldn't be in the house until this summer and even then I will be at my mom and dads to swim. He knows me so well! How do all of you do it? Being a mother I mean. When do you shower? When do you eat? I had the luxury - and I do mean LUXURY - of taking a shower whenever I was ready because there was someone to watch Sophie. Don't get me wrong I have been alone with her plenty... I'm not sitting around doing nothing while someone else raises my child. But there is laundry, cooking, cleaning, showering, eating, feeding the baby, changing the baby, answering all of peoples many questions on how you are liking being a mom... the list goes on. How do you do it alone????? But Jordan and I know it's the right time to make the move and we are excited. We have a lot of work to do to the house, but again, lots of help! FAMILY IS WONDERFUL!

I'm Taking Over!!!

So... I have decided to take over the blogging! Jordan stays pretty busy and doesn't have much time to keep it up to date. Sophie is getting so big. It seems like every morning I wake up and she's out of an outfit she could wear the day before. It's amazing how quickly it goes by. She has changed our lives and we love it! She wakes up (after sleeping 8 to 9 hours!!!!!!!!!!!) with big stretches and even bigger smiles. She tries so hard to talk (or something like it) and makes the cutest little noises ( I know - every parent thinks this of their child). We just can't seem to get enough of her. Many times I find myself doing nothing the entire day except watching her sleep then stretch then eat then make faces and talk and then do the whole thing all over again. We are so thankful that God has given her to us... she's just perfect.
