New Year!

Wow--- sorry I haven't blogged in so long. We have had a crazy busy couple of weeks.

Anthony had snow days on December 16 & 17, the last two days before Christmas break, so he ended up having an extra long break! On Saturday the 18th, we headed to VA Beach to spend some time with Anthony's family for Christmas. We were there until Thursday, the 23rd and we had SUCH a good time. Definitely ate too much, but we had lots of fun! It was also nice to get to spend some time with Amanda and her family as well. :)

Friday, Christmas eve was spent baking.... lots of baking! That was probably a few days worth of baking that I squeezed into one day. But it was worth it, lots of yummy food to share. Then we went to some friends' house for Christmas eve... always a good time with them.

On Christmas day, we had breakfast and opened our presents at home and then headed to Mom's for the rest of the day. It was nice to just relax and spend time with the fam.

This week we have just enjoyed having Anthony at home and been taking it easy mostly. I am SO sad he has to go back to school on Monday. I have loved having him home. He has been really helpful around the house and playing a lot with Bailey. I think she's been spoiled having Daddy play with her so much!

And finally, in case you missed it on facebook.....















..... we are having a baby!!! I am 11 weeks along and due on July 18th. We are really excited and feel so blessed. I plan on starting weekly pregnancy updates soon, so stay tuned for those.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years and that this year bring many blessings to you and your family!

Happy 2nd Birthday Bailey!

Can it really be 2 years since my baby was born? Where has the time gone!!??

I am so blessed to have been given the responsibility of raising this precious little girl. There are so many things I could say, but words just fail to convey what an amazing girl she is and how much Anthony & I love her.

A few pictures for an overview of her short life so far...



Fresh out of mom... one of her first pictures while she was being carried from the OR to the nursery...























This is one of my favorites from the hospital. She was just over 12 hours old in this one.






















Almost one year old. Can't believe how much she has changed and grown since then. Really has gone from a baby to a little girl.























One of her most recents pics, from earlier this month. The smile pretty much sums her up.






Happy 2nd birthday, Bailey Girl!

I'm sorry I'm such a boring blogger! But really, my life is so boring, you would fall asleep hearing about it. Not that I mind my boring life... don't get me wrong, I love my life!

Shells & Cheese

Meal Plan Monday

My life is so crazy right now! I guess Decembers are always like that, but I worked 4 days last week and am working 3 days this week. All you working moms.... I don't know how you do it! My house is suffering big time while I am working. Not to mention how I hate leaving Bailey so much. I think just since she is used to being with Mommy everyday it has been hard on her to be away from me so much... and definitely hard on Mommy to be away from Bailey so much! Anyways, I am really looking forward to Thursday being over so I will be done with working!

On to the (rather simple) meal plan (due to the prior-mentioned work that is draining me and the abundance of Christmas parties).


Monday
Quiz Bowl -- last night!

Tuesday
Loaded Potato Soup

Wednesday
Sausage & Egg Skillet

Thursday
Spaghetti & Meatballs

Friday
Trek Christmas Party

Saturday
Awana Leaders Christmas Dinner
Making Pioneer Woman's Cleta Bailey's Toffee Squares for this
