Sweet Times

Hello,

Oh how things have changed in my life since my last post. How many wonderful memories have been acquired. Tears come to my eyes just thinking back on the past 10 week... Has it really been that long since Isabella was born? It seems like just yesterday that I got to hold her in my arms for the first time!

Our Dearest Little Girl

I do believe one of my favorite things to do as of late has been to just set and watch Trevor hold and play with Isabella. :) She is a little Daddy's girl!

Getting 'Loved-On' by Daddy

Isabella wants to either be feed, rocked and sung to, or bounced to sleep. At times it can take awhile (and by the end you are ready for a nap as well) but to have her warm little body snuggled up against you sleeping makes it worth it every time!

Nap Time

:) She is so sweet and cute. It would be hard to not be completely in love with her!

Her First 'Piggy-Back' Ride

Just in the last couple of weeks she has started entertaining herself for longer periods of time. I can put her in her Bumper Jumper and can get a little bit of work done while she plays. She is starting to able to work her fingers. :) It is so exciting watching her GROW. Every day I can see her changing more and more.

Motherhood...
:) I would not trade it for all the riches in the world! It suits my liking just fine. As early as I can remember I have always wanted to get married young and have children. I wanted to be a mama! Now that I am it still has not quite sunken in. Trevor says I've changed and become more 'motherly'. Me... I'm just so happy and at the same time a little scared. God has entrusted us with this little girl to raise. It is wonderful to know we have our families we can lean upon for support and advise but when it is said and done the great responsibility of raising her is all ours. Please pray for us as we seek to serve God and raise up a righteous and Godly generation.

Having Our Picture Taken

I was just swing on the front porch with Trevor. Looking out over the field and watching the sky start to change colors above the trees. I heard the wind chime softly sing in a slight breeze. Isabella was falling asleep on my shoulder. I listened to my wonderful husband talk. Trevor asked if we could have ever imagined the happiness and love we felt right then? And we agree that life holds so much more then our wildest dreams could ever hold. How wonderfully blessed we are! So many times we take what we have for granted. We live life looking toward the future wanting more than what we have been given and in the process loss the precise gift God has given us... TODAY.

And by the way...

Happy 4th of July!!!
