About Me

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!

Splash Splash!

Adah decided not to take an afternoon nap today but was happy as could be until we decided to head to dinner with the Caltons. Luckily she did fall asleep in the car and took a 30 min cat nap...better than nothing. She was perfect all through dinner and even afterwards while we walked around Mystic for a little bit. I think by the time we got home around 7 she was delirious by the time we got her into the tub. I had so much fun playing in the tub with her tonight...not that it isn't fun everynight....but tonight she was so giggly! Luckily Josh had his phone upstairs on him and was able to catch some of it on video!

Hope ya'll enjoy this as much as we do....Love this little peanut to death! I just can't get enough of that little laugh!

Cat toys, bath toys and training!

Adah is quite the mess...she is into pretty much EVERYTHING! We have made it a point to try and limit the "baby proofing" and teach her what she can and can't touch or get into. She definitely KNOWS what NO and YES mean....although she is OVERLY DRAMATIC when you tell her no! For the most part she is doing pretty good at listening to us. Now we are just trying to teach her patience....especially when it comes to sitting in her highchair waiting on food....the girl LOVES to eat and when you put her in the highchair she expects to be fed right that second or she will let you know how she feels. So we are trying and hoping that soon it will work for us!

Here is Adah playing with some of her new favorite toys....the cat toys!
Adah is so much fun in the bath now.....her favorite letters by far I and B! I think she loves her self and her boyfriend Brennan! HAHA!

Coast to Coast

Wow! I can't believe that it has been over a month since I blogged and almost a month since we left California! We left California on April 1st...Adah and I flew to Texas while Josh drove with the cats and met us there! We had a wonderful 10 days in Texas...spending time with family...catching up with friends....and celebrating Adah's first Easter(her last 1st holiday)!

Adah has become such a big girl lately and it is hard to believe that she is going to be 1 in two short weeks! Since we missed blogging about her 11mth birthday I will just go ahead and do it now:
What are you up to now Adah?:
-nursed for the last time yesterday morning(an emotional day for mommy)
-finally will drink whole milk
-will only drink from a Camelback water bottle
-walking while holding on to things
-has 8 teeth(4 top and 4 bottom)
-can point to most things you ask her....toys, daddy, mommy, cats, door...etc
-loves light switches
-if you ask her to tickle mommy or daddy she will move her fingers real fast and say "teateatea"
-is a carb-oholic
-Loves to climb stairs and is SUPER fast at it
-terrified of swings at the park
-has become a great napper....not so good at sleeping in
-HATES her changing table
-loves to scream when she wants or doesn't want something
-very sassy and opinionated
-SUPER happy
-LOVES people

I know there is tones more! Adah--my little sweet potatah..mommy and daddy love you will all our hearts! You make us so happy and exhausted everyday! We love to see you learn and grown each day and are so excited to wake up to your beautiful smile each morning! We love you sweet heart and thank God for you everyday!

We finally feel settled in to our new home....for now....in Connecticut! We are having so much fun hanging out with all our friends that we have missed so much.....not to mention meeting Adah's boyfriend Brennan Calton for the first time! What a cutie he is and the best little baby I have ever been around!
