Wow! I can't believe it is already the middle of July. Time has gotten away from me and I haven't posted in a month or two. We have been SO BUSY this summer. It is crazy how busy I feel even though I do not have a typical job (because trust me being a stay at home mom (SAHM) is a full-time job)! We have been to countless t-ball games, weddings, graduations, and a family reunion. It has all been a blast!
I am loving life right now. I thought I loved life before Kinsey, but wow, she has changed my life. I'll be honest. I never thought I would be SAHM material. I thought I would go crazy! My future goals were career oriented, and I thought even after I had kids I would be able to balance a career and children. Can this be done... of course! People do it everyday, but God doesn't have that in his plans for me. I am truly "letting go and letting God" at this point in my life. I won't go into details, but deciding to be a SAHM was truly a decision Ryan and I made in faith. Faith that God has led us to this decision and will provide and guide us in raising Kinsey.
I am in awe of how Kinsey has changed our lives. We just can't get enough of her! Some days, the days don't seem long enough. When I put Kinsey down to bed I feel like there wasn't enough time in the day. I miss her, her smiles, and big personality when she goes to bed. I look forward to waking up to her big smiles every morning and spending the day watching her grow and learn new things. I can't imagine being gone and missing these moments. These four months have flown by and Kinsey is growing and changing so fast. I am so blessed and thankful to have such a hardworking husband who supports and encouraged me to stay at home with Kinsey. Right now, our family is truly living and loving life.

Below: We received a really neat gift at our baby shower. It is a frame that you can put a hand print in. Note to self with future children... do it when they are a newborn! K had ink all over the place and kept trying to suck on her hands. Here K's mouth is open as she is trying to get her hands in and Ryan is keeping her from it. We did get a good print after a couple of tries.
