Easter

Easter was wonderful!  Our morning started off with Chad cooking breakfast for me - omelet, toast & coffee!!  The Easter Bunny brought Scarlett some bunny ears and a Wubanub and brought Chad & I some M&M's - YUMMY!  Then we did a quick photo shoot.

That afternoon we had an Easter egg hunt at Chad's aunt & uncle's house and then a delicious dinner with lots of family.

Have a great week!
 

5 Months

Scarlett turned 5 months yesterday.  She is getting to be such a "big girl."  Her first bottom tooth has broken through, she likes to hold her own bottle and she got her ears pierced!  She loves to roll around and is able to pull her legs up underneath her as if she is going to crawl.  I know crawling is right around the corner and I'm not ready for it!

Scarlett's favorite place to be is outside watching everything!  She giggles when the dogs wrestle and play.  The other day Scarlett was in her walker outside and Layla wanted to play ball.  Layla walked up to Scarlett, put the ball in her lap in the walker and ran to the yard waiting for Scarlett to throw the ball!!!  Chad trained Layla very well.  She did this several times before she finally gave up!

Stay tuned for Scarlett's 1st Easter!

My Missing Puzzle Piece

In March of 2005, I was sitting in a paralegal class when a classmate of mine, Ashley, asked me if I was single.  I said yes and she said, Great!  I want you to meet my cousin & he drives a motorcycle!  A few weeks went by and I still hadn't met this mysterious man that drives a motorcycle.  On April 8, 2005, I finally met Chad.  We went on a double date with Ashley and her boyfriend, now husband, Jason.  I don't think Chad & I talked with Jason & Ashley the entire night; we we're too busy talking with each other.  The date ended with me giving Chad my phone number and him saying that he'd call me in a few days.  I got in my car called Amanda and my mom and said, "I'll never date another man.  I just met the man I'm going to marry!" 

I love Chad more & more everyday.  He is the best man EVER.  He works so hard to make sure that our family has everything we need and want.  He treats me like a queen and love oozes from his soul for our daughter. 

I'm complete.

Doggies

Everyday I think about having time to get to the computer to write but lately everyday has been so busy.  Chad is crazy busy at work and Scarlett and I are crazy busy at home.  She is trying SOOOOOO hard to crawl!  The second she is layed on her back she is flipped onto her tummy.  Once she gets in position on her tummy she quickly draws her legs up underneath her and tries to move.  She doesn't quite understand that she needs to push up with her arms.  So this puts her in the position to scoot around face down!  It's very funny to me but extremely frustrating for her.  She'll get the hang of it soon enough; I predict that she'll be crawling by the end of April.  Crawling at 5 months could be possible - isn't that a little early?  Chad walked by 9 months so I figure that Scarlett will be following in his footsteps! 

Scarlett is really noticing the dogs.  She loves to watch them beg for attention; it makes her giggle.  I'm excited for the day when she is able to play with them and really love them.  I'm certain the second they realize that she is on their level and is mobile, they will be looking for higher ground!  She loves being outside so that will no longer be a safe haven for the 4 legged babies!
