Home SWEET Home!!

Alexis and I got to go to Monticello yesterday.. because Kelly had her doc. appointment today.. I love love love going home to Monticello.. Because I love the feeling I get everytime I walk into my old house.. My mom has her home decorated SO CUTE.. and there are lots of family pic's and childhood memories there, that always come back to me.. When I'm at my parent's house I feel so relaxed.. and so comfortable!! My mom always makes something yummy everytime we are there!! Alexis has such a good time.. and loves to get cuddly in my mom's bed and watch movies!!
Another great part about Monticello is Grandma Josie.. Her house is always so cozy and warm.. I love being able to just go over and have all of us girls hang-out and visit.. Monticello is a-lot colder than Ticaboo is right now.. but fall is one of my most favorite time of year.. I didn't get to take any pic's because I didn't take my camera.. But I just wanted to write a little something.. Thanks for letting us stay Mom! We love you!

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
