Casey's blessing

What an awesome day. My beautiful little daughter Casey was blessed. Our good friend Bill blessed her. His wife Emy watches Cayden & will be watching Casey when I go back to work. We are very close to there family. We are so lucky to have there family in our lives!
My cousin Danene made Casey's little dress. I wish I took a better picture of her in it. I have to see how my mom's pictures turned out. It was so nice to have my husband in church with us. We had lots of family & friends come too. Cayden loved having Miss Emy sit behind him. He was talking to her so much! I wrote down some of the words I can remember from her blessing. I want to put them in her baby book so she can remember them. I wish I did the same for Cayden. I didn't think of it at the time. I got to see my friend Amber's baby Jake - he is too adorable. I can't wait until we can get together & I can hold him. Here are some pictures of today.

Service

I love hearing stories about people serving others. Most of he time I think, wow, I wish I could have done that or why didn't I help out more. I pray all the time for opportunities that I will be able to serve other & I always think that I could do more.
I was reading a friends blog & her husband went to Haiti to serve the people there. I thought how awesome & selfless they were. Her husband for going in such extreme conditions & Cindi for being so selfless to let her husband go. That would have been extremely hard for me, especially with 4 young children. I was glad to read that he came home & see some pictures. I saw a picture of him holding a child & got to thinking that they have small babies there that need breast milk.
I have been blessed to produce a lot of milk & have been freezing it. I have so much in my freezer & have been wondering what to do with it all (I have been giving some to my sister who has a 6 month old). I decided to call the milk bank to see if I can donate some to Haiti. After I fill out the paperwork a nurse will come to my home & pick it up. It's the least I can do & I know it will help those precious little ones who have been affected by the earthquake.
Thanks Cindi for being a great example to me!

I decided to post some precious pictures of Casey that my friend Ela took. Looking at my precious baby girl makes me feel good about my decision to donate my milk. I see her & how she is thriving & thank God everyday for such a beautiful & amazing gift! I love being a mother.

Step 1 to completing one of my goals

Ok - so I want to loose 10 lbs before going back to work in March. On Friday some friends & I were talking about joining 24 hour fitness which we all did on Saturday. I am so excited. I can't wait to meet with my personal trainer to work out & start a strict regime. Ok, I'm not so keen on the whole strict regime, but I want to see results & that is the only way. Here are some before (kids) pictures:

I will get back to a healthy weight so I can feel comfortable in my own skin again. Not to mention feeling sexy for my husband. Even though of course he still loves me no matter what I look like. He is such a good man.

I need to follow up with this post on March 1st so I can see some changes.

2 Months

It's hard to believe that my little girl is already 2 months old! She is doing so much already. I love holding her & having her smile at me & coo. We have our own conversations now. It's so much fun. I am so lucky to have such great friends with daughters that are only a couple years older than her too. Not to mention 5 of us had baby's within a couple of months!
Aida had Kaylani on 11/20, Casey was born on 12/1, Jenae had Lathan on 12/7, Ela had Taylor on 12/9 & Kimberly had David on 1/15. I am so lucky to have these wonderful women in my life.
My friend Jocelle made Casey the cutest flower hair clip (I still need to take a picture with it on her). She is great at making hair clips. I have made a few & can't wait for her to be able to wear all of them. We need just a little more hair.
I love you Casey!
