Blissful Smiles

The soft whimpers of a baby wake me up this morning and I can tell that it's early in the morning. Ugh! Not another wake up, she was just up at 2:00am! I roll over and look at the clock 5:45am. This can only mean one thing...it is the start of another day and it's a little too early for my liking, but with having two childern once the baby wakes up you can guarantee that Logan is soon to follow. As I slowly roll out of bed, I get up and peek over the edge of the crib and look at my little girl and she greets me with a huge smile. Everything in me melts and I no longer mind being up.

Those blissful smiles, the things they can do to a mother. They are by far the biggest reward that your infant can give you. We as mother's can sit there for 20 minutes, sometimes longer just to get one smile out of our baby, and when we finally succeed it's like we have won a gold medal! I remember the first time my son Logan gave me a smile, and thanks to my oh so talented Mother, who is a photographer we were able to capture it.


It's what keeps me going on a difficult day, where Brynleigh won't stop crying and Logan wants yet another yogurt for possibly the 5th time in the day. The days where I think I can't do this anymore, what was I thinking having two kids. Then you look over and there plastered on Brynleigh's face is one of the biggest gummy smiles ever! And everything just melts and you realize this is one of those moments, those precious moments that you will remember. Blissful smiles, it's the small things in life that you appreciate most.

The Beginning

So I suppose I should start at the beginning of everything. I married my husband Thomas in July of 2010. We decided that it would be fun to Marry on an extremely hot and humid day! We are coming up on our 2nd anniversary and happy to say that we are both still living!!

Logan Ian was born August 25th 2009. He was born at 41 weeks in the wee early morning at 4:42am. Weighing in at 7lbs 1oz and 21.5 inches.

He was the center of my world until.....

Brynleigh Grace was born on April 17th 2012. She was born at 40 weeks 3 days at 8:26am. Weighing in at 8lbs and 21 1/4 inches.

And now I have two beautiful childern that are the center of my world!
