Everywhere I go this is what I get, “Oh my goodness! So many little ones! How old are they?” . I LOVE to see the look on their face when I respond, “1,2 & 3”. Yeah, I sometimes get the occasional downer who practically begs me to stop having kids but for the most part they just think my kids are stinkin’ cute. I would have to agree.
Just wanted to blog about it because it’s fun to now officially be able to say my kids are 1,2 &3. In the words of my friend, Jackie Proulx- “Where’s my medal?”
Arabella,
The past year was the best year ever! To start the year off right, you were placed in my arms and we were wheeled out of the hospital on January 13th, after a 5 week stay in the NICU.
What an absolute adventure it has been having you home. You are our new baby doll.
I don’t think it’s possible to adequately describe my feelings for you. You brighten my life. These pictures melt my heart. You are my angel.
Watching you grow has been amazing. When I think it’s not possible for you to get more beautiful, you do.
You are so sweet & loving. Every night before I put you to bed we go into the room and I hum a song to you and without fail, the second I start to hum you start to rub your eyes. I treasure that time.
You ADORE your daddy. I don’t think there has ever been a time that he walked in the room and your eyes didn’t light up. He loves that. You have a gift for showing your love. It’s the way you look at us. We can feel it.
You are fun, giggly & so playful!
I see so many qualities in you that will be beautiful to watch develop.
I want you to know how much happiness you have brought into my life. This past year has been the best year ever because all 5 of us were together. With you in our family life is a little sweeter. Happy 1st Birthday, Baby Girl. I love you.
Love, Mom
I wish you would have told me that it might hurt when you put screws in my gums, cuz it did.

What?!?! We’ve been to Disney World 3 times? Heck yeah! That’s one of the perks of living in Florida! We got a killer deal on season passes because we are residents and our kids are all 3 & under so they are FREE! Don’t be jealous…ok, go ahead;) This was by far our favorite visit to “the happiest place on earth”. I’m still gimpy from my unfortunate accident but we made it work. We hit the Disney parks scooter style:D
Not gonna lie, it took a little humility on my part. I was so embarrassed scooting around for the first couple of hours. After a little while I was zipping through the crowds like nobody’s business. I highly recommend it! We got to go to the front of every line and the kids loved getting rides.
Moving on. Day 1 was Epcot:
Love the HUGE aquariums and Finding Nemo ride.
Visited Norway & China. Had some delicious Norwegian chocolate.
Stopped for a quick classic Epcot shot on our way out. Then, we went out for dinner and headed to Hollywood Studios for the lights!
Day 2: Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios:
Such a fun day! We wanted to give the kids an experience of a lifetime and I would say we accomplished that goal! Started the day at Magic Kingdom, hitting all of the fun stuff like Mickey’s Philharmagic show, Small world and their favorite is the show in front of Cinderella’s castle.
Then off to Hollywood studio where the kids got so excited to see Handy Manny walking around and enjoyed a live interactive version of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I must have been tired by then because I don’t have any pictures. It was a great trip. I’m glad we didn’t back out because of my injury. Well, that’s all for now!
Mmmm, beet juice.
(Yes, we drink beet juice. It’s healthy)
Mmmm, banana.
She’s just cute! Couldn’t resist posting random pics.
