Some Random photos :)

I just wanted to hurry and say that everyone is getting really excited for Keri's wedding coming up on July 16! Her and Adam are great together.. and I'm just so happy she finally found a great guy :) He treats her really good.. and he is a lot of fun to be around! I'm really happy for this cute couple!

My sweet little Kinleigh girl! I just had to sneak this pic in :) She is so much fun right now!! I can't imagine my life without either of my girls! They bring me soooo much joy :)

And of course.... my newest little niece just gets more beautiful every single day! These are a few cell phone pic's my mom has sent me! I love her soooo much and can't wait to get to see and hold her again. Hopefully soon.

This was the very FIRST picture taken of little Havyn. The anesthesiologist actually sent it to my mom right after Havyn was born! WELCOME TO THE WORLD LITTLE ONE!

Poor girl has to sit under this light for a few days. She has a little bit of Jaundice :(

She sure is gorgeous!

"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."
