As the 4th of July is supposed to be....
We packed this weekend with lots and lots of celebration. Party planning, grillin burgers, corn and baked beans, cool cocktails and chillin in the pool with friends. Setting off our own fireworks, (if thats what these were called...we didn't even take pictures that how exciting "ours" were), but...Olivia was snuggled in her bed sleeping and we weren't about to attempt the beach scene and mosquito's .....
All in all our weekend was fantastic~
Sweeeeet Things In My Life ~

More baby love.....

This is the life....


This weekend has been filled with everything baby.....
Baby holding, baby toys, burp cloths, nursing, cars seats, baby floats, bottles and lots and lots of snuggles and kisses !!!

Finally Olivia and Elias have met each other, it's been a very anticipated moment and finally the day arrived....all the way from Pittsburgh, Eli, his Mommy & Daddy came for a weekend, we missed Grandparents Cathy and Wayne, but kept them with surprise text messages with adorable pictures !!!

Sweet Babies in my life ~

Lovable Joy....

Words can not explain the absolute joy I have in my heart and soul each and every day. From the time my eyes open in the morning to the time my eyes close at night, my every thought is this precious little girl. She has taken over my body with her soft sweet innocence as I hold her, she allows me to take in her baby love~ness.....
She has given me a new life and oh how I look forward to each and every moment with her.

The tiny sweet things in my life ~

Heartbeat ~

I have not been ignoring my little spot here on my blog corner.....
It seems that the time has passed quickly, but also moved very slowly and April shall forever be a month that I will hold in my heart with love for ever and ever...

It's as if I can feel her soft sweetness already and the racing of my heart and pure excitement is overflowing in my soul as the time approaches for our Little Sweet Olivia to make her beautiful arrival into our lives....

From baby showers to scattered cardboard boxes of opened packages of baby must haves, to tiny little socks, bibs and pastel baby layette toss and turn on the baby cycle in the wash....we fold each delicate piece and place them in her dresser drawers, we smile as we open her closet and we take in all the adorable ruffle girly dresses and shoes....
The hospital bag is packed with Mommy and Daddy's labor survival things and Olivia's coming home outfit, baby book for her hand and foot prints and check lists of "Important things to remember"....
Oh...deep breathe....ok I think we're ready, we have said that a million times..

Nesting....I have endulged and savored every moment helping Chanel prepare for her moment and motherhood. The day is drawing near, I can't believe that it is almost here and the day shall bring emotions from the deepest part of my soul...

It shall be a blessed and glorious day with our angels above looking down upon all of us and guide a path for Olivia to come into the world, we shall welcome her with so much love....

Sweet things in my life ~

A deep breathe and sigh...... ~

My weekend has flown right by as if my time was limited, so many things squeezed very tightly into a box that seemed to disappear before the end was visibly close. The planning and organizing for the past 4 months seemed to float softly down from the sky as very fine snowflakes melting before they hit the ground, but still very clear and crisp of sparkle....

What doesn't hurt you, makes you stronger ? (is that how it goes?)
I guess it is, I was dealt a hand and I played the hand that I was dealt!
OK, so be it, I did it and I did it with the strength of what surrounded me, at times with pure chaos and at times laughter and moments that only the people that were with me understood and enjoyed the excitement and pureness of what was planned to be!!

Wow, it seems as the weeks and months that go by...you can not predict what will happen next, life shall throw many situations at you and you have to welcome them with open arms...accept what life gives you and grow stronger with it....

I have the most precious gift coming to me and I shall look forward to this time and embrace everyday with the love, joy and pure happiness of what shall soon be another chapter in my wonderful world and sweet things in my life ~

The beauty begins ~

They say it comes in Three's
and it has begun.... the pure joy of that "Day" recieving that long awaited phone call from our daughters...Mom ~ We're pregnant !!!! Cathy and I share our phone calls back and forth to each other (lately everyday) as soon to be grandmas and our little over pretecting ways we worry...and we chat and laugh and comfort each other

today ~ the first sweetness has arrived and I must say with much force of stregnth and mightyness....the longing, heartpacing moment all came to life around 4ish this afternoon, Baby Eli has made his grand entrance with all the love that this world could possibly feel...My sister, my friend, my buddy is the 1st to be a grandma...and of course I am not to forget Grandpa Wayne ~ You have been given the gift we have so been waiting for and we shall add this chapter into our growing hardcover book of life together ~

and as I write this story of pureness....I recieve a text from my sister, my friend..
"I am at the hospital again...another grandchild is on his way....

I am speechless as I sit and write this.....and texting back and forth as the longing for another granchild comes in our lives...

Now, I await, very anxious but calmly for my sweetness of pure joy to come into my life, our lives....my heart flutters as I take in every moment to watch and experience my daughter "soon" becoming a Mommy.....

I know this shall be a very long chapter, but one that shall take control of all that we could ever hope and wish for....and I am so ready to endulge and surround myself with the greatness of this very special gift ~

Sweet Things In My Life ~
Come in Three's....

We Miss You.....

we were just with you......we all laughed, snuggled to stay warm and had the best tailgate ever...

you were always there, for everyone.....with your beautiful smile that we shall treasure always

a year has passed but, it won't be the same, another Super Bowl is almost here but, it won't be the same.....

each day our memories of you bring smiles to our souls and laughter to our lives as we reminisce the memories

we know your our angel above watching over us ~

we miss you Andia ~
