a short update on life

So I haven't blogged in well...forever. Let's catch up. :) My pregnancy came to an end back in February and we welcomed Miss Bryer Michelle into the world. <3 She was born February 4, 2011, 7 lbs 8 oz., 20 1/2 in. long and SO beautiful. We had an amazing bonding experience right away.


 We all adjusted well when we brought her home. It was like she had been with us all along. She was one happy and alert newborn for the most part and was a natural at nursing and unfortunately, co-sleeping...


At 5 weeks old we got around to  doing her very first photo shoot.

 She continues to grow and evolve. Each new day she does something new. I can't believe how fast she changes. She is 7 months old and sitting, crawling, pulling up, singing, and dancing. I love her so much!



 I am loving being a mom and enjoying every minute with her!
We have officially lived in Estherville Iowa for a little over a year now! Just eight more months and CJ will have his wind degree and I should have my AA transfer degree. With CJ and I both being in school full time life has been a bit crazy! I don't have much time for anything else except being a mom and a student, but a fall photo shoot with Bryer is definitely in my list of things to do. 

Life has been good to me lately. I love my family and am very blessed! I hope everyone is wonderful and having a happy fall season so far. I hope that all my friends and loved ones or whoever is reading this are making the most out of life and remembering what is most important, no matter how hard it is to keep your head up when life gets you down. There is always positive things to look for and something to be thankful for each day that you live. Smile, take a walk alone, feel the breeze, observe something beautiful, laugh out loud, call up an old friend, spend time with someone you love, think about your most happiest memory. Surround yourself with people and things that uplift you, and spend your time doing something meaningful, something you love. Make every moment count.

God Bless :)
