One for the New Year...a little Late!

All right...so most, if not all of you that read this blog should know that Josh and I bought a house and had a baby girl in January. As you may have noticed by my lack of entries, we have had our hands full; and loving it! It's still hard for me to comprehend our owning a house, AND being PARENTS. CRAZY!!!! I absolutely adore our little Mia Lynn; she is so much fun, even when she's throwing a temper tantrum. Yes, 2 months olds can throw temper tantrums-at least my little girl. She can be quite sassy sometimes. Lately, she's been smiling a lot more, and let me just say she has the cutest smile in the world. Josh and I have taken way too many pictures of her, most of them when she's sleeping. We first-time parents HAVE to capture every moment, ya know.

On March 21st, Josh blessed Mia. What a wonderful event in a child's life as well as for the parents! Josh spent a lot of time preparing for what he was going to say. That Sunday, he went into a very quite place within himself, taking Mia with him, just to ponder. So tender! He gave a beautiful blessing. I cried, only a little. My dad came in from Ohio that weekend to participate in the blessing too, as well as actually meet his first grandchild. He and Mia became good buddies in just a few short days. She was very comfortable in his arms, and he even made her smile. It was good to see him again. Heck! It was nice to have an extra pair of arms to hold Mia, so I could get a shower w/o her getting upset. Thanks Dad!

So much time has been spent with Mia that hardly anything has been done on the house. Josh painted Mia's room pink; which, it used to be this hideous indigo blue and yellow. Yuck! And even this last weekend did we just get her crib and other things in the room, tho she doesn't do much sleeping in there. She likes to be near to her mom and dad at night.

Here are some pics.




















There's more, but Mia's waking up. Gotta run. Happy belated New Year!!
