Big News!


We're Walking!!!
It was just over a week ago and Laken decided it was time to walk.....Stubborn he is
( no idea where he got that from..)
It was first thing in the morning ( 9am at our house) I changed his bum and set him down on the floor and he took off! 
He has been taking steps in between things since about eleven months, but is now walking on his two little feet much more then crawling!
He just Amazes me we went swimming this week and not only did he walk himself to the slide but climbed up the stairs sat down, waited for me to get to the bottem of the slide and slid down! This continued for the next half hour and as much as I was Amazed my thighs are in pain from getting in and out of the pool! It so crazy to see him stroll by and as exciting as this new phase is, it's also a bit sad as he's not a baby anymore! Hope you enjoy the video!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s so hard to believe it’s October! Where has the year gone? I certainly have no idea…If you do ....please do fill me in! Haha


This year I feel we have a lot to be thankful for…. I try to make a conscious effort to name three things a day I’m grateful for, I can be having the worst day and if I stop to regroup, take a minute to go over just three things I am grateful for... it usually puts what was upsetting me into a whole new perspective! Some of the things in which I am always grateful and thankful for include; Those friends and family members who take the time to not only include me in their lives but are actively involved in mine. The ones who take the time to make that quick call, email, txt or visit to say hi…..they truly make life just that much better! Those who are now gone but have made a huge impact on my life….. I’m grateful for the home my family and I have created, for my Amazing Husband and wonderful little boy. My animals that give unconditional love, for all the little things that make me laugh and for health because I think we forget to be thankful for it until we‘re sick. The list could go on and on….and I’ve been working on not only reminding myself of these things daily but to remember to thank those whom I’m grateful for. Society today is so fast paced and evolving so fast with acronyms that the words please, thank you and your welcome seem to get lost…..

So here is wishing you all a Very Happy and Warm Thanksgiving and for those who don’t celebrate thanksgiving we wish you a Very Happy and Warm October! From our family to yours! Xox
