Alexa is really the light of my life. She is growing so quickly it scares me. She knows exactly how much mommy and daddy love her, she tells us with her smiles and laughter. We love the way she turns our long working days into joy and laughter.

A Message for My Child

I wish that I could show you
all the things that I have seen.

I wish that I could take you
everywhere that I have been.

I wish that I could indicate
the places where I fell,

And keep you, thus, from tripping
on those “rougher” spots as well.

I wish that I could do all this
and save you from the strife.

But I know that I’d be sparing you
the lessons of your life.

And you must learn those lessons
as hard as that may be,

Just know that you will always have
a helping hand from me.

To my Hubby!

It's Not Your Great Tanned Skin,
Or The Muscles You Flex...
It's Not The Way You Work So Very Hard,
To Prove Your Responsible and True...
It's Simply What's Inside of You!

It's The Way You Laugh at the Little Things In Life,
How You See The World Despite It's Strife...
It's The Way You Care Not Just About You,
But The Way You Care About Me Too.

It's In The Way You Get Teary and All Wet,
When I Bring Up All Of The Little Things I
Say and Do...or Have Not Seen As Of Yet.
It's The Way You Worry Day to Day,
About The Way Things Will Turn Out...
Like A Little boy You Scream and Shout.
But Then You Smile and Sternly Say...
Like A Tough Man...What A Day!

There Is Just So Much Inside of You That You Don't See,
That I Feel Deep Down Inside of Me.

It's The Way You Love Animals, Children and Nature...
It's The Way You Can't Wait To Ride Into The Sunset,
With Me Beside You...Feeling The Wind In Our Hair...
It's The Way, You Say Things The Same As I Do,
or The Things We Have In Common...
Not Just One Thing, But Very Few!

Baby, I Don't Love You From The Outside In...
I Love You From Where You Begin...

Inside of You...Is Where I Belong

Because I Know That It Will Never Be Wrong!

Alexa 6 month shots

So Alexa got her 6 month shots. She got a total of 5 shots. Our baby tried to play tough, but she cried. She is such a cute baby! As soon as they gave her her shots she fell asleep. She will be taking Tylenol all evening in order to keep her from getting fever.
