One Year Ago Today....

I saw this....

which led to this...

And a LOT of this....

 16 weeks

 34 weeks

And by God's grace gave me this...

It seems like just yesterday and a million years ago all at once. Oh, how that little digital screen has changed our lives!

And we wouldn't trade it for a second!

We  love you, Leighton!

Father's Day Fun!

Last week we had a long over due visit to Leighton's Meme and Paw Paw's!

After some trial and error, we have figured out how to road trip with baby girl (that, and now Mom, ie me, doesn't have a job we have to rush back to, lol). Anyway, she did great on the way there and back and had the BEST time! She found her Meme hysterical and played and talked to her Paw Paw!

Saturday we came back to recoup and spent Father's Day at home. Bill and Leighton hung out and watched the Open ALL DAY! I made dinner and then they had some Daddy/daughter play time before bed:)

I never posted for Mother's Day, but it was very similar to Father's Day, only I wanted to go out to dinner. But Leighton and I played with the camera, too. I've never shared these pictures (or even really told anyone about them), but I think this one needs to be shared:)

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Can't wait for some time with my daddy next week! Happy birthday and Father's Day, Dad! We love you!

Busy Visit Home

Last week Bill had to leave town for work, so Leighton and I ended up at my parents' place. It was nonstop!

First day we are there, we all notice mom's electricity is flickering for no reason. It ended up being a major electrical repair, so Leighton, Mackenzie and I loaded up and headed to Josh's to get dressed and be in the AC.

When we finally got settled, Leighton and I headed to my friend Megan's. This is interesting. In high school (and jr. high for that matter), Megan, Nicole and I were inseparable. This year, we have all welcomed new babies. Well, techinicall Eve was born last year, but not by much;)

So of course we got a shot of Megan's girls with Leighton:

The next day we had more family visitors in the morning and then headed to Nicole's to meet her new little man. He was soo tiny and cuddly!

Can't wait to have the whole crew running around together one day!

That evening Leighton went swimming for the first time. This was our third attempt to get her in the pool, haha

The next day Bill came to get us! We also had a big lunch with lots of family, but too many kids running around to get pictures.

Happy to see Daddy, surprised to see the flash

On Sunday, we spent the day recovering and getting back in order, but Bill put Leighton's jumpy together, so LOOOVED it! I also found the first bell pepper sproutin gon my "garden".

Hope everyone is surviving this horrid heat!

Catching Up

I haven't posted in a looong time, so I'm going to try to do a quick catch-up:

Leighton is growing and doing GREAT! She can sit up supported, loves to coo and giggle, grabs for people and things, scoots and rolls over, so much fun!

I'm done with work. Officially a full-time mom. Very excited and nervous all at once.

Here a few pictures of things we've been up to this month. Leighton has met some new friends and we actually spent a little time with some of our's as well as family.
