Another Christmas .... Another Christmas WISH!

Dear Livie,

Today Daddy and I made the decision to add a special coverage to our medical insurance for the coming year.  We are looking at having a brother or sister for you sometime in the year 2014!  I can't imagine loving another child as much as I do you but they say a mother's heart doubles in size when each child is born.  So today we start preparing (in a small way) but a tiny step in opening our hearts for a second child.  We pray that God will bless us again greatly w/ another baby so that you will have a sibling to grow up with.

Two of the greatest and strongest relationships I have are w/ your Aunt Tosha and Uncle Scott.  They are my siblings and I love them dearly!  I have some of the best memories with them - growing up together - and it is so fun to see them with their own little families today.  I desperately want you to have that kind of relationship too.

So another Christmas comes around and my heart thinks...maybe by next Christmas our family will soon be complete.  We leave that in God's hands.

Just know...how very special you are and always will be to me.  My heart will always belong to my children, that is a promise I will always keep to you.  You are cherished.  So very much.

10 months (two hands) old now!

Dear Livie,

You are growing up too quickly!  You have a head full of curly-wavy hair, two bottom teeth, chubby cheeks, and the prettiest brown eyes I have EVER seen!  You have the BEST laugh ever and I always love to see your smile.  You're pretty much a mellow and all around happy baby.  We are so blessed!

Today you turned ten months old!  We spent the day in Asheville, NC where they were having their annual Dickens Festival for the Christmas holiday.  We enjoyed some shopping and lunch and just having a fun family day!

I can honestly say the last ten months have been the most rewarding and fulfilling ten months of my life.  I never knew being a parent, a mother, would make me feel so satisfied.  We're just enjoying every day with you....you bring us so much JOY!

xoxo
