Baby Love

In under a month my sister and Cooper will fly in for a visit! I cannot wait to see them!!! They arrive Wednesday night and my mom is then coming on Saturday. Julie and Cooper are staying through Monday and my mom will be here for a week! I can't begin to explain how excited I am! I know I am missing out on so much with Cooper and it is hard. He is sitting up on his own and wanting to stand all the time. He's a big boy that chatters away whenever I'm on the phone with Julie. He has a smile that everyone says just lights up the room. Strangers come over to comment on how friendly and happy he seems. Julie sent the pics below recently and I might be a bit biased, but I think he is absolutely beautiful. Did I mention....I can't wait to get my hands on that baby??!! All 22 lbs of him!

I got a text this morning and his first tooth is poking through. I know we'll have a great visit and the time will go by way too fast! Thankfully this teacher has the summer off and I plan to spend some of it in Michigan. :) Enjoy the pics...he still is pretty bald, but does have some blonde wisps. He's just like we were!

I love this sweater!




Love that smile!

Rest and Relaxation

I've been meaning to post some pictures for over a week now and just haven't found the time to go through them and decide which ones to post. In the four days we were in Florida, I took about 500 pictures. I may not be a pro, but I love taking pictures! I want to capture these moments so I can look at them years down the road and remember just what I was thinking and feeling.
We had the most amazing time on our mini-moon! It was totally relaxing and wonderful to just spend time with Barry and enjoy that time together. We had an incredible time. Our accomodations were incredible as well. The view from our deck was indescribable! Pictures just don't do it justice! I'll attach some anyway. Enjoy them! Just looking through them made me wish I was back there!
