The Beginning of a New Chapter...

We always knew this day would be nothing less than beautiful and amazing (our own fairy tale) - and after a two hour appointment, our first of the pregnancy, we were able to witness a true miracle growing inside of me (the start of the most magnificent fairy tale ever to be told). A miracle created by the most elated and delighted parents... how lucky and blessed are we.

At a mere eight weeks old, our little miracle had a strong and healthy heart beat ranging from about 134 to 150 beats per minute, fast but completely normal. When I first heard a heart beating on the monitor, I had to ask if it was mine—I felt like my heart was beating as fast and in sync with our little one. What a rush to experience this true joy for the first time. Emotions filled the two of us like a rainbow fills the sky after rain as we realized what our future holds; together, we will grow as a family of three—Baby, Mommy and Daddy! Suddenly, the cold, sterile room was filled with the warmth of our hearts. Nothing in our lives to date has been more inspiring and invigorating, it's truly amazing how one little being can bring two people closer together than ever.

Walking out of doctor's office, hand-in-hand with Daddy-to-be, we shared a moment of silence; our smiles spoke louder than words. It was Wednesday, April 25th that changed our lives forever, a day which will never be forgotten. In just a short few months, we will welcome Baby into our home. December 5, 2012 may be the day that our lives change forever.

Daddy and Mommy love you precious little Baby!

So beautiful!

Family Day Trip

It has been months since we have gotten out of the house for a full day. It felt so good to "see" the world once again. The blue skies, the green trees, and the chirping birds were what we needed! We started the day by packing the car with our lunches, jackets, and masks. By 9am we were out the door headed for Rye, Colorado. Here we saw Bishop Castle. We climbed many stairs, many which were made of stone and some made of metal too. The higher we went, the more wobbly the stairs—yes, it was a little scary, but we ALL were brave. It was fun watching you guys get so excited about all the hidden areas that you could go into. Nothing was off limits. Hand Sculpture Best Kids Ever! Best Fun Large Chair Top of the Castle First set of stairs that we climbed! Wobbly Bridge - Scary! After walking around this very unique castle, we found a lovely lake called Lake Isabel and ate our lunch right on the water. We watched a fire helicopter pick ...

Many Firsts While Camping

Undoubtedly, this is a camping trip that will go down in the books. Each day was packed with many fun and adventurous experiences. After two days of packing the camper (you kids need a lot of extra "stuff"), we pulled out of our driveway and almost 8 hours later we finally arrived at Ridewau State Park. The drive down had some awesome moments and some other moments filled with tears. This was a long drive for both Rea and Cooper. This was the first long drive yet. Here in another couple of weeks we will be taking a much longer drive, this shall be interesting. We met Grammy and Papa at the campground, they were thrilled to see the babes because they've been out of town for the past two weeks. More importantly, our little darlings were even more thrilled to see the wonderful Grammy and fun Papa. Together, we spent our days fishing at the upper and lower ponds. Cooper entered into his very first fishing derby where he won a certificate for the youngest boy who caught the ...

Mother's Day: A Whole New Meaning!

A Mother's Love Fills the Air... Today... And Everyday! It's Sunday morning, I wake up excited because today the family gathers together at our house for Mother's Day. Nothing makes me more happy than having the family under one roof. The last time the family was together at our house was the day we announced we are pregnant. Mother's Day is a day dedicated to mothers all around the world—a time to celebrate a mother's loving heart, her tender touch, her ability to always say the right thing, and her amazing know how (a mother knows everything). Michael and I our blessed to be surrounded by the most magnificent mothers. I'm excited to say that I have BIG shoes to fill... I have a mother and a mother-in-law who are super heroes; although, I know that with the support of each of these wonderful, brilliant women, I will be the next generation super-hero mom. I have learned that LOVE conquers all and PATIENCE is key. Michael and I thank our wonderful moms. We l...

We'll love you forever...
