my little "grown-up" girl


our typical mornings....




Life.
One year ago, my days were spent holding this precious little pumpkin.
Afternoon snoozing and midnight feedings. All of it, (even the pumping for 6 months), I
have cherished. It has been the most amazing thing I have ever done. Harder than my "corporate" days and more rewarding than anything I have ever known, this is who I am now...Parker's Mom.

My days now are spent chasing a little opinionated girl, whose personality brings me to tears
on a weekly basis. In a good way of course. I cannot believe the things she does and says.
The child's mind is fascinating and I enjoy nothing more than watching her observe the world
and connect the dots of life.

I LOVE being a MOM...I love being Parker's Mom.

PS: This was really hard to do. After MANY hours of sorting through a years worth of Parker's clothes (and one tissue box), I consigned all of these clothes. What doesn't sell goes to Haiti. This was an incredibly emotional project. SO many memories of my once upon a time, baby girl. We still have many clothes left over and I know these clothes will go to someone who needs them more than we do.

I am WAY behind on blogging. We have been GONE, had company and have been CRAZY busy trying to build a business. So rather than bore you with a month's worth of updates, I'll let the pics tell the story:)

Hope you are all enjoying your Fall. We are, and it is flying by with Parker keeping us running. I LOVE this age:) She is talking and boy oh boy does she have a fiery little personality! xxoo and I promise to keep up with my blogging, hopefully;)
