4 Years of Wedded Bliss

On this day 4 years ago, I married my best friend. TAG, thank you for being such a great husband. For being patient with me when I am sometimes hard to deal with. For all the back & foot rubs you give me. For loving me for me. For loving the Lord. For providing unconditionally for your wife & children. For just being YOU.

A couple of our Engagement pictures.

Some pictures from the big day.

    

Happy 4 years babe! I honestly can’t believe it has been that long. Time flies when you’re having fun!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Riley & the peanutbutter tower

First of all, yes, we really do have that much peanutbutter. One of TAG’s clients owns a small grocery store & knows how fast we go through the stuff (considering it’s about all that Riley will eat) so he gives it to us in bulk every now & then.

 

The *jar* that broke the camel’s back.

Different

Yesterday Averly, who is a “dress girl” wore pants and socks for the first time since she was teeny tiny. It was so different, but so cute to see her in this outfit.



Also, she let me feed her a bottle for the first time ever last night. She has always been fine for TAG or my mom to feed her, but she would never let me. I guess she wanted the real thing! Haha! Well last night I attempted it before bedtime & she let me with no fuss! Again, it was different, yet sweet at the same time.



My baby girl is constantly changing every day. I love & embrace each stage of this precious little life so much!

I may have cried a little

Last night I got home from a girls trip to Florida with some old college friends (more on that later) & my little, sweet, darling, sometimes clingy Mama’s girl did not want to come to me. I don’t know if she just didn’t recognize me because I finally have a tan for the first time since she was born! Or if she was mad at me for leaving her for 4 days. Either way, it hurt my heart & I teared up a little. Before this trip, I had never been away from her over night at all. Plus it was the longest I have ever gone without seeing Riley. I missed them both more than I could stand! I had a great time with my friends, but the drive home seemed to take forever because I was so anxious to hug on my babies. Riley greeted me at the door with a big hug & a kiss. He told me all about his weekend that he had with his Dada (also more on that to come), but when I picked Averly up, her bottom lip quivered & she started crying while reaching for my mom, who kept her while I was gone. I felt like my baby had forgotten who I was but after we played for a while & got “re-acquainted” it was as if I never left. Her sweet smile came back & then she literally wouldn’t let me put her down. Which I was totally fine with because I didn’t want to! Heck, she missed me so much that she wanted to hang out all night last night. Needless to say we were up for most of the night. As tired as I am today I am so glad to be with my angel babies.

Wordless Wednesday

Look who has her own swing now!

Averly can swing with her big brother now in her pretty pink swing.



And just because he’s my big boy…
