Yes, I gave in!

I never thought I would ever have my own blog. I mean, what mom has the time to update a blog in between changing diapers, making meals, picking up toys, and snuggling a sleepy baby?? I admit, I never saw the point in having a blog before. But, I have been challenged by so many of my mommy friends that seem to be "super moms" and update posts with creative memories of their precious little ones in between the craziness of their day. So, I give in... I feel that this blog will be a way for me to express my feelings, emotions, and sweet memories of being a mommy. When God blessed Kyle and I with a precious baby girl, I had no idea that my heart could possibly love a little being as much as it does her. I can't fathom life without her, and in just 5 short weeks, Lord willing, my heart will love again as we welcome our "little peanut" into the world. I admit, I can't understand quite yet how my heart could possibly love another child as much as I love Payton, but have heard from many other wise moms out there, that it JUST HAPPENS. I know, once I see this precious little one, that my heart will, without me even questioning it. I was told once, "Loving two children isn't like taking a pie and slitting it in half, it is like adding a whole other pie to love!" I can't wait to love my other pie!

So, I don't know how faithful I will be to this blog, but hope to gather some memories to remember in the future. As we look ahead to summer, great things are in store, including pool time, campfires, boat rides, picnics, zoo visits, bike rides, another baby, and of course, just LOTS of family time that I am SO EXCITED ABOUT! God has blessed me with an incredible husband that works SO hard at his teaching job and coaching so that I can be at home with Payton on most days. And thank the Lord for summers off for teachers! They all work SO HARD and deserve every second they get off. Payton and I are definitely looking forward to Daddy's time off this summer!

So, I have officially entered the "blogging world," but will NEVER claim that I am a good writer. To those that read these blogs, I apologize for not being as creative of a writer as some, but just know that I am doing this to capture precious time and memories with my family. With a second child just around the corner, I don't want to forget any of the happy, sad, funny, and memorable times. So, read if you want and come along as our family grows and creates its own story! :)

  1. I love the graphic and the picture of you and your family is adorable. I felt exactly the same way, wondering how it would be possible to love another child as much as I did Cameron. For me it happened at the five month ultra-sound. As soon as she showed me the screen and said, "It's a boy!" tears started slipping down my face and my heart split wide open with a huge brand new space from which to love my Stuart. Our hearts are infinitely expandable organs :) Love you, Kara.
