Dear Caleb...

Dear Caleb,

I can't believe it has been 3 months already since you were born. I fell in love with you the moment I set my eyes on you and I haven't wanted to take them away since. You have such a special place in my heart, and I feel like I never want to let you go. I can tell already that our bond is going to stay inseparably close! I am excited to get to know you more as time goes on, and I am enjoying the process of watching you grow. Thank you for your friendly smiles (and courtesy smiles) and for being the sweet angel you are. I love you, Son. Stay true to who you are no matter what! I know you don't understand any of that now, but I just have to say it.

Love,

Mommy

Intro...

Well, this is my first blog... ever. In the future I will be posting photographs I have edited and art I have completed. For now, though, I just have to say that I LOVE my life and there isn't one thing I would change. I have a wonderful husband of 3 years who adores me, I have 2 beautiful children who fill my heart with joy, and I have amazing, loving, supportive friends and family that I wouldn't trade for ANYTHING!

My husband, Benjamin (pic below), is the love of my life. We met at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA, and we have been in love ever since. We bought a home in February of 2010, and we are both enjoying life as much as possible with him being at work 40 hours a week and then going to night school online. I am so proud of him as he takes on so much and THEN still manages to help me with the kids an

d love on me. He is my dream man!

Below is my first born, Bailey Grace (almost 2yr!), and she is full of life and happiness. She is "beautiful, smart & very CONFIDENT", as I have her say every night before bed. =D She began talking around 9 months old and has been incredibly verbal ever since. I am in love with this girl!! She loves to sing and jive to music, and she refuses to stop learning! Her world revolves around having FUN! Her grandparents (both CA & TX) are AMAZING and very loving. She LOVES to see her grandparents and can barely hold her excitement in when we mention them. Her CA grandparents she calls "Manga" & "Papa", and her TX grandparents she calls "Ongy" & "Pop" or "Pickle Pop!" What a treasure this girlie is to me and all of us around her.

Next is my son, Caleb. He doesn't say much yet, but MAN is he ever ADORABLE! He's the spittin' image of my husband, and I can't keep my lips off him. I had an AMAZING, DREAM birth with him, as my delivery time was 7 minutes! I only had to push 4 times and out he came! My midwife, Jennifer, was the only one there with me because I had him so fast that Ben missed it! He had to take Bailey out of the room during my hard contractions, not realizing that I would have him so fast. We named him Caleb Benjamin and he is already going to be 3 months old TOMORROW! He is my little man...
