Days Gone

How I've neglected this blog for so long, I have no idea.  I wanted to be able to "document" every milestone, every big event, etc etc.  But between two babies, my photography schedule, and a new job...  it has proved to be challenging, to say the least! 

 First off... We celebrated our 3yr anniversary this month!  So far so good...  I'd go into a corny, cheesy lovey dovey spill... but I don't want to bore anyone... I'll keep it simple. I still feel the same, and more, as I did when he first told me he loved me, when he proposed, when we said "I do", when both of our beautiful children were born, and every moment in between!                                                                                                      

Second...  These two make me so proud to be their mommy!! Granted, they both have their moments...  We're still working on the whole potty training business with Graysen, his new developed temper tantrums, & just an all around Tasmanian devil, and Laikyn can be a complete princess... and I don't mean the sweet kind... she can go from happy to mad in less than a second! ;)  But they both definitely keep us entertained... My kind of Perfect!  Their smiles and infectious laughs remind me of the job I'm doing as a mom.  I make mistakes as a wife and mom, and I pray every day that the mistakes or decisions I make don't affect my children or Jake in a negative way.  All three of these people make me want to be the best person I can be.... cliche I know. But it makes a lot more sense to me now with children.

Graysen's adjustment to his baby sister has been nothing short of amazing.  He's been the typical big brother...  He's always aware of where she's at and what she's doing.  He wants to share as long as they're on his terms... meaning, if he offers, she's more than welcome to play with him... if she crawls up and puts her hand on his toy, well then he's not as keen with the idea.  He doesn't fight for attention from Jake or me, and he's very protective.  And if you think a 2 1/2 yr old doesn't know how to be protective. Think again. Example, she bit me... my first reaction was to tap her on the mouth, and tell her "No ma'am."... I thought it was handled well... but of course she gets her feelings hurt, and then Graysen follows by hitting my butt and telling me "Put-her dow, momma. Go time-out."  Cute, but scary... have a feeling these two will one day plot against us to stay out of trouble.  And as far as Laikyn is towards her brother... complete admiration and adoration.  She looks at him like he is her knight in shining armour... and one will day will be, when those stinkin boys come along. ;)  I love the love between the two, gives me butterflies every single day!!  I am blessed and happy with the two gifts that God has given us.  HE is GOOD!

And blog to follow... It's only fair to share & "document" Laikyn's arrival and story!  Long, but enjoyable... I promise!
