Sunday & Rain

First Rain Storm of the Season

Leon,

       Sunday's are great days. We get up early to go to church, sing praises to God through wonderful music, listen to the pastor's thought provoking message, go out for breakfast with family, and come home and relax. Today was a great day, but also a very rainy one. Fall is officially here and so are the rain and wind storms. Right now the house is completely quiet, you and Daddy are asleep. Sitting here typing I can hear the rush of the cold wind outside, blowing the rain even harder against the windows. I love weather like this when I am at home with a warm blanket and a hot cup of tea. Falling asleep to the lullaby of a windy rain storm is one thing I love about living on the coast. 

 

       I was so proud of you at church today, because I took you to the nursery so you could play with the other kids while Mommy sang and Daddy played his bass guitar for worship, and you did so well! Normally we will drop you off and you cry the whole time, but today when we came to pick you up you were playing and having fun! You are growing and learning, and I am so proud of all your accomplishments. I love you so much Leon.

 

Let the rain sing you a lullaby

Dream sweet dreams tonight

Let the wind rock you to sleep

In peace until the morning light.

 



~Love, your Mama

 

 

 

 

 





Thanksgiving...

October 13th 2012 10:02pm,

Suprise!





Today I spontaneously decided to make a Thanksgiving style dinner. We went to the store, picked out a nice 10 pound turkey and everything else needed for this yummy meal. With your Daddy's help we got the house nice and clean. Then I cooked the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, and of course you can't have a meal like this without cranberry sauce and turkey gravey. We invited your Nana and Papa over for dinner, and you were very happy about that. All of us sat down and ate this wonderful dinner together as a family. It was a great evening, and it ended with pumpkin pie and cool whip. After Nana and Papa went home, you took a much needed bubble bath, since during dinner you decided to put the mashed potatoes in your hair. All clean and warm you got your PJs on and snuggled up with Daddy and Mommy to read a bedtime story. We snuggled until you drifted off to sleep. A good end to a good day, sweet dreams my little Snugglebug. I love you Leon. 



When It Rains It Pours

Time For Homemade Bread!

Leon,

      Today it began to rain, and I realized how long it had been since the weather was like this. When we went outside to go to the grocery store you danced in the rain for the first time. Seeing that look of pure joy and excitement on your face made me smile. You are such a happy boy. I got out the bread machine and made a yummy loaf of fluffy wheat bread this afternoon. I cut a slice for you, put just a dab of butter on it and you ate the whole piece! I love the way making bread fills the whole house with the sweet aroma of a bakery. Today was a good day. I love you Sweetpea! :)

Hair Cut!

Yesterday while we were at Grandma's house we decided to try and give you a little hair cut. You were very content in your high chair, watching a movie, while eating a popsicle, as well as distracted enough for us to cut your hair. Finally I can see your ears and your hair isn't in your eyes, so I think we did an ok job. Soon you will be going into a real hair salon to get your hair cut with Daddy! We will be sure to get that on camera.



Time For A Nap

After a fun morning of play and helping Mommy bake, and of course eat, chocolate chip cookies, it is now time for a nice nap. Seeing you sleeping in your toddler bed makes me realize how fast you are growing up. I cherish these days I have with you. I love you Leon.

A Fun Day

October 10th 2012 11:44pm,

My Silly Boy

I am really late writing this today, because I just woke up! I guess I fell asleep while trying to get you to fall asleep tonight. I woke up just now and saw that it is still today, barely, so I got up to write my blog. I know, you have a silly Mommy. Now you know where you get your silliness, although I am pretty sure you get some of that from your Daddy too!

 

We had a fun day today. We went over to Grandma's house and watched a movie, played outside, and you even ate green beans fresh out of Grandma's garden! Good job eating your veggies! I love you my silly boy. Mommy is tired, so I will say good night for tonight. Sweet dreams Leon, my sweet baby, I love you!

 

~Love, your Mama

 

p.s. Good night. :)

Little Prince

Sleeping In Comfort

Leon, my little prince, you are quite spoiled at times. Today you had a hard time taking a nap, you just wanted to be snuggled. Once I got you to sleep, I wrapped you up in the comforter from Mommy and Daddy's bed, and layed you down in your own bed. Snuggled up in that nice warm blanket you slept very well. Silly little boy, I guess you just wanted to be warm and comfortable. You are spoiled with love in a good way. I love you my little prince. :)

I Love You

October 8th 2012 10:11pm,

The sun has set, the day is done

You are tucked in bed, fast asleep

I take a moment to sit and think

Of the memories of you I keep.

It feels like just yesterday

You were born, so tiny and new

I held you close everyday

Yet so fast you changed and grew

I remember your first words

When you started to crawl

I remember your first steps

I remember them all

Each day you learn something new

You grow smarter and bigger too

But one thing will never change

And that is how much I Love You.

 

"And in the end three things remain, faith hope and love; and the greatest of these is love."

-1 Corinthians 13:13
