Family....




Today Cayleigh and I ventured 81 miles to visit Uncle Keith, Aunt Mila, Sarah, Lauren, and Willow(and my dad!) in Phoenix, Md. We braved I-70 and 695 traffic in the rain and got there no worse for the wear. Willow and Sarah traveled all the way from AZ and we were so happy to see them. Lauren came as a surprise and it was great seeing her too! Cayleigh and Willow(17 months) got along ok, although they really just wanted to play with whatever toy the other one had! They did enjoy sharing every snack in my diaper bag though! Cayleigh wasn't a big fan of my Uncle Keith, had a mini meltdown every time he came in the room, we couldn't figure out why. She was a bit more clingy than usual, could be the 5 teeth coming in. My Aunt Mila was MIA most of the morning making a delicious brunch for us...Hated having to leave so quickly, but with the rain, had to try to avoid the rush hour! Cayleigh slept the entire way both ways! Home for the night, and going to take it easy!

Before we left, and before she ripped out her piggy tails....

Day 2 of the snow....

Image
Today we got a batch of ice which so nicely laid over our 2-3 inches of snow. Luckily, I was off and didn't have to call in! Matt went to work a couple hours late so I made a big breakfast with eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, and orange slices! We played and watched a good bit of TV, I'm not proud to say, but with Matt fighting a cold, and me with a headache again, I decided to make it a low key day and she was thrilled! After her morning nap and lunch, "we" decided to surprise daddy with some cookies. I let her watch me and she helped stir and lick the beater. Yes, there were raw eggs, and no, I don't think it will kill her. Our finished product! I might add this was my best batch of cookies EVER! Playing with her pics.... I should add there will be no post tomorrow, because I am going with Pam and her family to the Dancing with the Stars show(the tour, not the actual show). I am SO excited!!!! It will actually be my first night away from Cayleigh ever, which make...

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Two years ago today I was headed to the hospital ready to have my baby... At 1:02pm on August 22nd, we had our beautiful baby girl... It changed our lives forever. Cayleigh(aka-Kiwi, pee-wee, lovebug, etc) we love you so much and feel so blessed to have you as our little girl. Your sweetness and kindness is so beautiful, and your hugs and kisses mean more than you will ever know. Watching you grow and learn new things every day makes us so proud, and it remind us to slow down and look at life the way you see it.
