Last weekend was Thanksgiving. I haven't even uploaded those photos yet, probably not going to happen till after her party. Sorry bout it.
The week before we were home I don't even remember what happened, and the weekend before that we went to NJ to help my parents clean up their property from Sandy. I don't think I posted those pictures.
I feel like I would pay someone in food to just organize my home life during open enrollment because work consumes my brain during almost all the waking hours and some of the night hours too!
For now I am prepping for Addison's first birthday party this week. I have to head to the party store and Michaels one more time and bake and cook a bunch of stuff. Tomorrow will be an all nighter for sure.
It will be an awesomely awesome 1st birthday though. I just love this little muffin that we made so much I want to make sure everything is just so. She is changed our lives so dramatically and we wished for her so deeply. It only seems fitting to create the most magical biggest celebration we can for her - and for our family. I have caught slack from people about putting so much effort into this party but ya know its not just for her, its a celebration of where my family has come in the last year. We welcomed our first child, we grew together. I got to see first hand my husband morph into a father and I learned to be a mother. Your train of thought becomes more defined. At least mine did. My career became just my career and my family had a bigger importance. I have learned more about myself and what I am capable of. I am learning to take time for me and manage life. I have never felt so blessed before, I remember feeling so lucky on my wedding day and so in love but growing a child with the man I adore is just more than I can put into words.
We have all grown - separate and together. Addison is walking and understanding more, everyday its something more. The best part is I get to see this miracle before my very eyes every day.
Back to work for the day and then more prepping.
Here is a few iphone photos to brighten your day.
RAWR I ran out of space so I uploaded them to shutterfly and they are showing below. DARN google. Fail.
