What's Bedtime

It is more fun to undress ourselves than sleep. 

The Quiet and Imperfect Times

It is beautiful here! I LOVE having our windows open and hearing the birds chirp! Quiet and serene. Some of the best things in life are right here! 

Slowing down and enjoying what nature has to offer is something that I often times forget to do. As a mommy who also works it is hard to just enjoy my days off. Whether it is house work or random activities there's always this or that to do.

I jam pack my off days. Sometimes I feel like I am running around like a crazy person just checking off the next task instead of enjoying the beauty of what is at hand. I don't want to miss out on the little things and I want to be here for my daughter. Not just be here but I want to be more present in her life and life in general. I want to enjoy it. 

 

So I'm learning to let go of some things, like the pile of laundry that needs put away or the bed that needs made and the toys that need picked up. I'm trying to just enjoy things. And while today was not perfect it was good enough.  Just that the peacefulness of Spring and quietly hanging out with Juliana. Some things in life you don't even have to go anywhere for. Memories are made right here each day with my lovely princess. 

Happy Easter

We have been having so much fun that we don't get much time to blog anymore. As of late Juliana weighs about 18 1/2 - 19 pounds. She continues to run and outsmart us. Juliana is getting better at taking naps in her cribs (we co-sleep, so it makes it harder for her to want to sleep in her crib). We are going on fifteen months of breastfeeding. I huge achievement considering the first few months. Her best human friend is Sadie. They are so cute together! Juliana has the sweetest personality. she can be shy and hates for people to get in trouble.

This past week we had a fun little day visiting the Easter Bunny. We weren't planning on taking pics with them but it had been a long day, they were tired and a little hesitant to be left alone... so we stayed with them.

Easter weekend was pretty busy. First we went to the Nauvoo Fire Station for a pancake breakfast and Easter egg hunt. We got to see several friends there including Joanne and the kids. Below is a pic of Sadie (in red) and Juliana (in white) at the fire station Easter egg hunt. Juliana was so EXCITED! After getting a few eggs she just went running through the field.

After hunting for eggs at the fire station we headed back to let the boys out and then to Colista's for an Easter event. Jeremy BBQ some yummy food and there was also another egg hunt. She loved it!

We just LOVE this girl!
