New to this..

I have always wanted to start a blog, but I didn't think I had anything interesting or important to say. I hope that some people find my stories interesting. I suppose they will mostly be about my baby and my life as most other blogs I follow are.

I will start off by saying Thanksgiving is in two days. It starts what is my favorite part of the year. Family is important and I am excited to see Emma on her first big holidays. We will start at my great-grandmother's house at 12:00 on Thursday and then go to my sister-in-law's house at 4:00. We always have more than one place to go so we are very blessed to have tons of family to spend this holiday with.

Black Friday this year will not be spent shopping for us. Stephen has to work. We will shop a different day... but I am perfectly okay with this. Last year wore me out though I was also pregnant and sleepy ALL the time. Speaking of that...

My life has changed dramatically in a year. I wouldn't change it... I love it. I can't imagine life without Emma and I am sure everyone who has met her feels the same way. She is smart and funny even though it takes a lot to make her smile. She definitely likes to observe and take in everything she can. Loves to sleep but doesn't like to go to sleep... if that makes sense. She won't take a pacifier, even though some days I wish she wanted to. She is growing so fast though she is still a small baby. She loves dogs... all animals for that matter. She gives hugs and snuggles. In general... there are just no words. Love is defined.
