Happy Mother's Day...

So, I thought I would take a minute to give thanks to all Mothers on this day. All to often the role of Mother goes overlooked and unappreciated. To these women we all owe so much. They give selflessly their entire lives to those they succor. They are teachers, nurses, psychiatrists, mentors, role models, beauty queens, friends, critics, advisers, tutors, maids, cooks, interior designers, accountants, hair stylists, and so much more. I am so grateful to all the Mothers that have blessed my life, especially my own Mom. I would not be able to rear my own children without the amazing examples that I have had through my life. Thank you Mom, and every other Mother that I know for all you do to make this world full of light, comfort, and love. Happy Mother's Day.

A new start at this blog thing...

Okay, so I set this blog page up over a year ago, and am now deciding that I'm really, really going to put an effort to keep it up. So here goes nothing!!

We had another baby last month, she's absolutely the best thing ever! Jocelin came into the world on February 26th, at 10:02 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 5 ounces, and 19 in. She is already sleeping through the night (HALLELUJAH!) and is just a joy in every way!

Jorja is now 26 months and amazes us almost daily! Her vocabulary is extremely advanced for her age, and she loves to show it off! When she is in a good mood she is the cutest thing in the world! :P We had a request from Grandma to start logging some of her cutest sayings, so I thought there would be no better place than here....

"No, no, no, no, no, no, I love you MMMOORRREE!"
"Come on Mommy, Come on." in a very cute high pitched voice
"Go lay down Tiger Layla!" in the best bossy tone possible for a small toddler
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa-Ka boom! Mommy's got ya." as she plays w/ her stuffed animals
"Hey, what'r doing?"
I could of course go on forever, but those are our favorite ones.

As far as Scott and I are concerned, we are better than ever! He is of course still in school (never ending), and I am doing pretty good (not to brag ;) ) adjusting to life w/ two kids. It isn't nearly as hard and horrible as I thought it would be. Although I am exhausted at the end of every day, I love my new role!!! Scott is also doing an incredible job as a Dad, I couldn't be happier! The bad economy has finally hit us. Scotts already low hours got cut right before Jocelin came, but somehow we are still doing okay. Anywho, I think that's enough for now, this has already taken me over three hours to finish! I hope to attach some older and more recent pictures of us and some great memories. Tata til later! :D
