B-Paw and Grandma's Visit

We are so thankful that B-Paw came to help us with the house! They did such a WONDERFUL job and we can't wait to move into it! Kevin is painting this week and hopefully next week we will get the floors and carpet in! It was so good to see them and hopefully we will see the rest of Kevin's family soon!

Olivia was not a happy camper in this picture! She had just gotten her shots and didn't want anyone but momma!
Olivia was helping B-Paw and Daddy with the house!

These are a few things I found in a magazine that summed up being a mom, and boy are they TRUE!

1. You will want to apologize to friends and family who had kids before you, for never really getting why they had less time for you.

2. You will fantisize about what you would swap for a good eight hours of sleep.

3. You will want to throw the baby monitor out the window.

4. You will dread encountering baby-crazed preschoolers and tots with runny noses and coughs, whose moms could care less if they got your baby sick.

5. You will never again touch an infant that isn't yours on the hands or face. (I hate

when I go places and people want to do that to Olivia, it furiates me!)

6. You will forget all about your difficult day with your baby when you finally see her sleeping peacefully at night.

7. You will get sick of hearing yourself say, "I didn't get to it yet."

8. You will hear about criminals on the news and wonder what their moms are doing!

9. You will consider your husband's work commute alone time, and be jealous of it!

10. You will struggle to stay close to your childless friends. (Except Lindsey :) )

11. Lastly...the one I LOVE.....You will marvel at the volumes of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that you have for your most wonderful achievement....YOUR BABY!

There were so many more, but I didn't want to type them all....

It helps to know that ALL moms go through the same things that you do and that

you haven't just lost your mind!

Hey! I finally figured out how to put videos on here! I'm so excited so I will probably go video crazy! For those of you who don't know about watching them, you usually have to just hit the play button twice and the video will just start playing. Now everyone can watch her grow and see the milestones she is going through. She has been rolling over for a month now, but is starting to try and roll from her back to her stomach. I'll also video some more interesting things she is doing, haha! well, hope you enjoy!

Kevin's Last Diving Deployment

Rhode Island

The Divers....Bobby, Mike, Jeff, Chad and Pat and the "Lost Diver" Kevin. We will definetly miss you guys!

Yesterday morning, Olivia and I were sitting in my parent's sunroom and we spotted a deer in the backyard. Actually there were 2, but the other one was a little farther away and the picture didn't turn out good. It was looking right at me when I took the picture but kept eating and didn't run. I was very surprised that our dog, Abigail, didn't chase them away. That's what I love about being in the country....nature!




Now that Daddy is home, Olivia is going to hold on to him and make SURE he won't go anywhere again! She was so tickled when he got here. He would talk to her and she would just laugh and wiggle. B-Paw (Kevin's dad), just arrived yesterday to help Kevin work on our house, so I will be sure to take pictures and put them on here! We will probably see him tomorrow.
