Notes

As a mother I always find myself telling people about this
"love I never knew I could have"
and how "I could never imagine that it would be like this"
and "this is a blessing beyond what I thought"
and "she is just an angel" "she such a sweet baby"
etc, etc.

I say these things all the time.  I don't even think twice about proclaiming my love and happiness with her. 
While all these things still hold true my language in describing motherhood and Ryan have come to a different phase...thanks to toddlerhood.

Now, you will hear things like: 

"She is a mess." "She talks all the time"
"Oh my God, can you believe she just said (fill in the blank)"
"She is wearing me out!"
"She is so busy"

and Ryan hears:
"No baby" "you are so smart!"
"Stop that baby" "I love you"
"No, don't say that" "You can have some water but no juicin" (that's what she calls juice)
"Ryan, where are you?!!!!"
"No toque" (don't touch in spanish)
"Are you serious?"

My how things are changing.

My girl.

I just love her.

That's all I have to say.

Beep! Beep!

Well, here is what Santa got me and Ryan the family for Christmas......

 Honda Pilot

My husband is the best husband ever.  This was a Christmas Eve surprise.  He told me that we were going to "price" and "decide what you really want".  Our plans (I thought) was to wait another 6 months or so.  But nope, he bought it for me that day...as everyone was trying to go home for the holiday.  We probably set a record for quickest car sale and paperwork ever.

I love you honey.  My dreamboat.  My knight in shining armor.  The love of my life. (For real, he is a wonderful husband and daddy)

 Ryan and I will be riding in style!  The Hamptons will be riding in style!

Merry Christmas to me us!!
