Our Quickly Growing Family

Yup, our family is expanding by the minute, or so it feels.  I'm an aunt again!  Sunday night, we went to dinner, the whole family, and enjoyed our time together before my brother-in-law and his girlfriend (who I've considered a good friend, and sister for a while now) went to the hospital to be induced.

Monday morning, I was going to get up and get dressed, feed the kids, and then in the afternoon (when we all thought the baby would be coming) go to the hospital with someone watching the kids for me.  Well, I got a phone call at almost 9am saying that Morgan was dilating fast, and that I should hurry.  Well, hurry is what I did.  I called our great friend Torren and he came over to watch the kids.  I might add that he usually doesn't go to bed until only a few hours before the time I called him, so it really meant a lot that he came over to watch the kids.  I jumped in the car and drove about an hour or so to get to the hospital.

I hadn't been there very long before she had the urge to push and when they checked her, she was fully dilated.  My mother-in-law was nowhere near the hospital and she was wanted there.  The doctor wasn't even ready for her so they held off for a little bit, but then it was baby time.

Morgan was a pro, I was so proud of her.  At 11:19 Baby Leigha joined the world and our crazy family.





Julie didn't make in time for the birth, but when she and Andy did get there, they were beaming proud Grandparents.





She looks just like my brother-in-law, Chris.



The nurse taught Chris how to change a diaper.


They are such a beautiful family.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
