Abundantly Blessed: Family Time

It seems like I'm playing catch-up in every aspect of my life these days...just enough housecleaning to keep our home liveable, snippets of paperwork between bathtime, dinner prep, and before-mentioned housecleaning, and of course - and probably most important of all - squeezing in uninterrupted time with my sweet baby, my fur-babies, and my sweet husband. Needless to say, blogging falls at the bottom of my to-do list. While I sometimes consider quitting the blog - I then remember why I started to begin with - it's such a great way to save highlights of goodtimes with my family. So worth it.

I was cleaning up my picture files today and found many wonderful moments with my family that are so dear to me - the everyday play, outtings, and daily routines are really what makes my life so special these days. I am so thankful for my family...we are very blessed to have each other and these moments together. Keep 'em coming Father!

An impromptu afternoon trip to one of my favorite places in Marietta - the park on the square. People stroll, lay on the grass and read, and children dart around the play ground and fountains. Such a fun place to just "be" with my favorite people.

Daddy and FC

Sadly, one of the few pictures of FC and I together. I might not have on make-up and my hair is totally gross, but the smile is genuine! I love my little girl.

We love to be bums in this house!

Best time of the day in this house is 6am! Come on over for a cup of coffee...you really can't be too early. Even FC gets her own cup.

Our puppies were our first babies - and they seem to be handling having a new baby in the house quite well. Annie remains aloof and distant, but that should keep her safe from FC's advances to explore. Murphy, on the other hand, can't get enough of this child. He bonded to FC from early in my pregnancy with her when he would lay over my tummy and follow me from room to room - guess he knew I was carrying something special!

Murphy is such a licker!

FC really would love to jump on top of that hotdog! Take notice to Annie in the background - she could care less what is happening in the playroom - just as long as no one messes with her and her pillow.
