WOOK!

Amelie and I went to Michael's the other night. We were walking through all the isles and all of the sudden I heard her saying something new and it took me a minute to figure out what it was that she was trying to say. She would point and then I hear, "HUUUAWWWHHHH (big gasp)… WOOK!" (LOOK!) She was so excited to see so many cool things (especially artificial flowers and ribbon) that she just had to make sure that I was seeing everything. She said it over and over and I got the biggest kick out of it.

It's so awesome to get to see things through her fresh, innocent eyes. It reminds me not to take things for granted and to appreciate the small things in life (even if they are artificial flowers).

She is my joy and I thank God for letting me be her mom every day :)

 

Aren't you loving the nakey hiney, one knappy santa slipper on, one off look? I am!

air jordans and a bike ride

We took a trip to Atlanta for our 1st anniversary when I was 7 months pregnant. We have some good friends up there who have a hook-up at a great consignment. Ant found a pair of gray and lime green high top air jordans and it was love at first sight. We had no idea if we were having a boy or a girl at that point, but the exact words that came out of my mouth were, "you better bet if we have a girl, she's wearing those!" So we got em (at a REALLY great price, along with all kinds of goodies… thank you Lynda and Kevin!) They are size 5. Amie is just now fitting into them and they are stinkin' cute!

 

Ok, so it's not the greatest picture of Amelie, but you have to admit, the shoes are pretty awesome… especially with her sweet skinny jeans.

On a totally unrelated note, we FINALLY got to take my new bike for a spin! Ant got it for me for Christmas and mom and dad got a nifty little seat for Amelie to ride with me. She absolutely loves it! I am quite fond of this seat because she is in front of me and if I happen to fall, I feel much more comfortable knowing that I can try to protect her with her being in front instead of behind me.

 

Again, not the greatest picture of Amie, but she was distracted by the creepy man on the street trying to strike up conversation.

With spring coming up, I know we are going to be doing LOTS of bike riding!!
