A letter to my MR

Dear Mr.,
     In case you were wondering, it has been 410 days since I gave you a shiny new ring and you gave me a shiny new last name.  A last name I'm so proud to share with you and hopefully a couple of littles someday.  I think I want three.  One that looks like me, one that looks like you and then one that is such a perfect mixture of the two of us that we can't decide who they look the most like.  Of course that won't stop me from teasing you that obviously that child looks just like their Mama.
     I hope that every day you know how grateful I am that you are mine.  You are such a loving and deserving man and I hope that I can always be everything you've always wanted.  Every day I wake up next to you is a day that God has answered my prayers.  I can't explain to you what a gift it is to be able to say that.  It's fun to look back and remember the beginning and so much fun to look forward and imagine our future, but I want you to know that I am loving the present.  I love every exciting, lazy, crazy, boring, sweet, gorgeous day with you.
     Cheers to you for finding a way to make pink puffy hearts pop out of my eyes every. single. day.  I love you & I always will.  Bet you a dollar.

Hello Pretty

It seems as though my sister went and created a perfect little model for me! How hard is she rocking that bib?! Gah, how cute is she? The answer is VERY. VERY STINKIN' CUTE!

Hello Pretty,

Today you are 6 months old! You woke me up this morning with a huge smile on your face. You are a sure-fire way to make Lay Lay wake up in a great mood! You stayed in bed with me while your Mommy ran to get you some balloons. Everyone says you look so much like me, and I'd prefer to think that's a good thing for both of us! I sang Sweet Child o' Mine to you and we giggled the whole time! You have the greatest personality already! Each moment with you is a beautiful one. You won't understand how much I love you for a long time, I'm afraid. Until you do, I will remind you incessantly! You're beginning to teethe, which means you find chewing on our faces kind of fun. We like to pretend they're kisses :) I think maybe they really are. I hate that you're growing up so fast, but I look forward to watching the show! I'll always be right here for you, my girl. Always & Always.

My Love is Yours,

Lay Lay

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine
