Family

My family is my life and that's just the way I like it. It's been the four of us for a long time. Almost 5 years. More than half our marriage it's been Weston and I each with our little buddies. Sometimes on our outings and trips we switch buddies but for the most part I have Haylee and Weston has Hunter. During the week mon thru friday it's me, Haylee and Hunter. I love when I get them both and I don't have to share one of them with Weston. The three of us! So many memories for the past 5 years with these two in tow. Before Hunter came along I had Haylee all to myself. Just her and I and man oh man we became instant best friends from the moment they placed her in my arms.

I loved those two and half years with her. Right before I had Hunter I almost became a little sad thinking our alone time would be gone. I didn't understand how my heart could expand anymore to love another child as much as I loved my little Haylee. Just like when they placed Haylee in my arms, my heart did grow that much more and I knew instantly when Hunter and I locked eyes for the first time that he was my little buddy. I just wanted to eat him up all the time. He makes me laugh more than anybody could and brings me so much happiness. I've been blessed and given a gift for the last two years while Haylee is at school to have Hunter all to myself.

I have been so blessed to be able to spend amazing quality one on one time with each of my children. It's a gift that I now cherish!! It's also been so fun seeing Haylee and Hunter become such close friends. All the time strangers in stores will approach me and say they can't believe how fun my kids seem to be having together. And it's true, they are the best of friends. They are lucky to have each other. I have loved being just the three of us these past few years. Nothing makes me happier than being their mom

In a couple of weeks our family is going to grow from 4 to 5. It's going to be a big change for us as we haven't had a baby in our family for a long time. I often wonder, what he will look like, how he will fit into our family, what will his personality be like? We all can't wait to meet him. We are ready for him. Although our house is still a bit of a disorganized mess, he has no place to sleep yet, or I haven't gone through any of our baby stuff yet, we are ready. We've been praying for him to come to our family for a long time. He may not have clean clothes to wear yet but he will have lots of little fingers and loving arms instantly surrounding him. I can't wait for my heart to expand and grow again. We are all so excited to gain a new little buddy!!
