About Me

My photo
We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

The many faces of Adah....in about 1 minute...

Adah's mood literally changes in seconds....Josh was able to catch them in sequence with the camera.....

Relaxed....sweet face.....



2 months....2 soon....

I can not believe our little peanut is 2 months! This past Sunday was her 2 month birthday and boy has she changed so much! She is starting to get her own little personality...so cute! There is not much to update on what she is doing right now...she has however learned how to scream and will scream all the time...sometimes when she is mad and crying and sometimes when she is happy and laughing! We also discovered that she LOVE LOVE LOVES to be outside....anytime she is crying or fussy all we have to do is walk her out on the patio and instant silence! She is getting more and more fun each day!

All of our visitors have officially come and gone. We enjoyed having everyone here to love on our sweet little Adah but are glad to have our home back and enjoy our new life as a family of 3!

I will be making a trip to Texas real soon so that Adah can meet her Great Grandma, Great PawPaw, Great Grammie, Uncle Justin, Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Josh, Aunt Kristen, Great Aunt Kathy, Great Uncle Joe.....and I'm sure many many others....as long as time allows. I will be there for 8 days! I can't believe I am going to travel with a 2 month old but luckily my good friend Amanda that lives here and her little man are going to fly with us since she is from Texas/Oklahoma....so at least we won't be alone! I know that Josh is going to miss us so much and we will sure miss him!

Here are a few pictures of Adah at 8 weeks! I am working on getting up her 2mth bear/growth comparison pictures....check back later!


Sweet baby girl sleeping on her Auntie Val's lap! She sure did love Auntie Val!
Adah's first trip to the beach....she did care too much about it!
Doing what she always does....staring at Daddy....she LOVES her Daddy!
This is a typical, everyday Adah picture....she falls asleep but likes to keep that paci close by...and when she wants it she will just suck it right back into her mouth...its really funny to watch...such a silly girl!

All About Adah!

I decided that since I can't seem to post everyday....I will try and post once a week....so here are pictures of Adah this past week (7 weeks old)! Can't believe she will be 8 weeks tomorrow and celebrate her 2 month birthday on Sunday! Adah is super excited about meeting her Auntie Val on Wednesday and spending her first night away from home and daddy on Friday....Adah gets to go to Women of Faith with mommy and Auntie Val!

What is Adah up to these days:
  • sleep 6 hours straight(the first stretch of the night)
  • finally out of newborn clothes and into 0-3 comfortably
  • very alert!
  • I love to stare at boys/men (not sure why this is...maybe b/c she loves her daddy so much)
  • Smiles and talks like crazy!
  • Started to hold my head up (7/4/09)
Enjoy the pictures!
All dressed up in her lady bug outfit for church....sticking my tongue out at daddy b/c thats what daddy does to me!
I love smiling at my daddy...he is so silly!
Adah and boyfriend Parker! Parker is our good friends Amanda and Rob's little man...he is 2 weeks younger than Adah!
This is my favorite spot....in daddy's arms...looking over his shoulder & talking while he plays on the computer!
Playing with mommy on the floor!
Our little firecracker! Not too excited about this picture!
Yeah for mommy and the bows she made me!
Asleep on mommy....not sure how that hand is that way...looks like it doesn't belong to her!

Rub a Dub Dub Adah loves the tub!

At first Adah only liked to take a bath on the little sponge bath thing we got her and would even scream on that...it was even worse when we would put her on the infant part of the tub. About a week ago we decided to lower the infant part and make it so that she could be submerged in the water.....who would have thought that that was the key to her LOVING bath time! These are the pictures of the first bath the "new" way!

In a daze.......
Not so sure at first......
"Hey! This isn't so bad! You aren't going to let me fall all the way in...right?!"
"What's up Dad! I'm just relaxing here with mom!"
