On my mind...

I have had a hard time coming up with posts lately that would be interesting to anyone but the grandparents. We have been having a great month - lots of family time and a great period of settling into being at home. I feel extraordinarily blessed. However, I am not sure that our days are super interesting! We spend a lot of time at the park, going on walks, wagon rides, playing on the floor, watching mickey mouse clubhouse, and reading.

Here are a few pictures from our last couple of weeks and some things that have been on my mind lately...

We joined a church (finally!) last weekend. We have been going there for a while, but haven't been as frequently since we had Annabelle. It was a sweet moment, and Annabelle was a complete ham being in the limelight.

Jesse has been out of town the past couple of nights, so I have been rewatching season one of "Friday Night Lights" while I do laundry. Best show on TV. I was extremely doubtful at first too, but trust me...you won't be sorry!

Annabelle is loving to sit at her little table and play. But even better... we now have a playroom! It is a room off our kitchen that was originally designed to be a den before the addition was made to the house. Jesse has added a laundry closet to the room as well. I LOVE it now!!! It has been fantastic to have a place for Annabelle to play where she can still see me. She has been extremely hesitant to let me out of her sight lately, so this has helped a lot.

I am feeling like I am in exactly the place I should be in at this stage in my life. I have a counselor friend that calls her years that she spent at home with babies her "southern living" years. She says she spent her days playing with her babies, cooking and making her house a home. While this isn't a path that appeals to everyone, I am finding a lot of joy in it right now.

Wouldn't it be so fun if adults could wear clothes like this! I adore her little polka dot leggings. My boring black pants and jeans are very jealous! Isn't this girl just the most precious thing?!?
