A Beautiful Day with Beautiful Little Ladies

Maclay Gardens.....What a gorgeous day it was. The girls had a great time running around, "swimming", playing, eating and just goofing around. I love seeing Cara play with other kids and see the world through their eyes :)....

Thank you Mesa for taking such beautiful shots. Here is a shot many months ago at Cara and Emily's first visit to Maclay Gardens together.

I love this girl

 

There just arent words to say how much I love her...and am sad that she is growing up so fast :(...I want to bottle some days...and well, some days...I am glad they are over....,

MAN I love this girl!

Its been a while

ALOT has happened. Cara is 16 months old...WAAAAAH where does the time go? I am pregnant with baby #2 (Due March 5th 2010)...several of my friends have had babies and/or are expecting babies soon...and Cara continues to amaze us each and every day.

Life as SAHM mom gets better and better each and every day. I have reached out to friends, have joined MOPS and made a concerted effort to get Cara involved with as many things as she is interested in and trying to keep a little bit of my previous self. As much as I love being a mom, I am a wife, a friend and a daughter amongst other things. I love being a mom of course, but have enjoyed branching out a bit and enjoying nights out and friends outside of Cara.

As of today our little chatterbox is saying the following words...and using them in the context that they are supposed to be which is amazing within itself.

Apple
Daddy
Mommy
Ginger
Gone
bye bye
Night night
Elmo
Milk
BA BA
Flower

Her voice is so sweet and she continues to be so loving and so very sweet that we just cant get enough of her. Here are some pictures from recent trips or just some that I love.

July 4th 2009

 

We had a great time at New Smyrna. Cara was loving the flat beach with lots of room to play. POPS came down for a couple of days and of course, she LOVED that. This was Cara's second 4th of July...man how times change :)

ALOT OF FIRSTS

 

Cara took her first Train ride, and her first carousel ride....and they were a BIG HIT!!! Cara was WAVING at the crowd...and the crowd was waving back...seriously, she had her own cheering squad! What a big girl, and she is so happy! Happy to be anywhere and do anything! I love my easy going girl :)
