Happy V-day!

I have found it difficult to keep up with my blog lately because Evie is growing and changing so fast. Life has been so hectic and busy that the small stuff gets put to the side but it is still important. I have taken less pictures of Evie lately because I find it difficult to stop playing and take the picture. I have written less about her accomplishments because I am usually feeding, bathing, creating new ways of amusing a 7.5 month old, and hugging/kissing her as much as possible. I also have to find time to cook, clean, spend quality time with my wonderful hubby, finish home and craft projects, exercise and have a life of my own. I have always been amazed at how Mom's do it all but I am even more amazed now that I am expected to do it too. Please don't read this the wrong way - I am not complaining- I love being this busy, especially since I sit at a desk 8 hours a day, drooling on myself. I love planning out our days, getting them organized, and then accomplishing all that is on my list. I will admit that I do lose my patience when things don't go my way and that is why I married Brian- he steps in, makes me take a deep breath, and relax. He either helps me get things done or helps me realize it wasn't that important to begin with. Brian is an amazing person and an even more amazing father. He gets on the floor to play with Evie, dresses her up in cute little outfits, changes her diaper when I think it is too gross, puts up with my crazy parenting ideas, and does all this while working at a job he doesn't care for, taking care of house that hasn't lived up to our expectations and sharing me with our daughter (a huge change in any married couple's life). I am a lucky woman and couldn't ask for a better life (I could use a few more hours in the day to spend with my family). Thank you Brian and Evie for making me so happy and for loving me so much!
