Things That Make Me Happy

If I am completely honest, then I have to admit that my world is a little miserable right now. Not sleeping very well, not a lot of energy, heartburn, and trying so hard to keep up with my energetic 3 year old without her knowing that mommy really just wants to take a nap! So, I began thinking about all the wonderful things in my life rather than the difficult and felt a blog coming on. I have so much to be thankful for.

In just a few short weeks, my little girl will be a big sister and I will be mommy to a baby boy. I can't wait to watch them grow up together. My siblings are still one of the greatest joys in my life and I am thrilled that Lainey and Cooper will share this bond as well.

For Mother's Day, my sweet husband sent me the most beautiful tulips with a card from both of my little ones. So fun to see their names together.

Seth came for a visit last week and helped Jamie teach Lainey how to play baseball. It was so fun to watch her learn and really love it. O'Fallon has tee-ball for 3 year olds so we signed her up. Can't wait to watch her play with a little team!

We read books every night before bed and for some reason Lainey has started to perch herself on Jamie's shoulder when he reads. She giggles the whole time and it just cracks me up!
