I love being a Mom


What a great week. Last night Rob and I were laying in bed talking about what a true blessing it is to have a daughter. We had a night off last night (first of the week) and we just laughed all night long. Allie was so happy all day and she just smiled and laughed all night long it was so fun. Allie got her nightly bath, feeding, and fell right asleep. About an hour and a half later woke up crying, which is quite abnormal for her, so Rob went up rocked her for a minute and she fell back alseep. Probably a bad dream :( Just needed a snuggle with her dad :) I know I say it so often on here, but I guess I just can't express how blessed I feel. I am not sure why God has blessed Rob and I so tremendously, but we never take it for granted and I pray never will. And I honestly pray that others can experience this pleasure that we feel.

I can already tell that Allie is going to bring so much joy to the world. Whenever we are out people always comment on what a great smile (toothless that is :) ) that she has and how much of a smile she brings others.

Allie now has a new found love for a member of our family.... Charlie. Charlie is our Mutt for those of you who don't know and Allie LOVES him. She has noticed them for awhile now, but now whenever Charlie walks in the room Allie giggles and can't take her eyes off him... its too cute. She wants to pet and pull at his ears all the time. She likes Bubba our bulldog, but she just likes to poke his eyes and then is staring back at Charlie. Too cute to see her with all the dogs.
In the picture Allie is snuggling with her stuffed pig that her Dad gave her... we named him"PIG" I know very creative!

Hope you all have a blessed weekend!

I know the feeling of what's it like to feel blessed with having wonderful children Lindsey and you're right to never take it for granted. It doesn't go away as they grow older either, it only grows more in appreciation. I'm so blessed in that now only are my two children great,they have both married great spouses that we love just as much. And now with a grand daughter to add to the mix, life just keeps getting better and more blessed.

Great job with Allie's blog. It's so wonderful to check in now and then get updates. I love this high technology that allows us to at least see her grow up right before our eyes. The laughing of her on video is a hoot. What a precious dear she is.

Love to you all. Opa B
