Hello 2013!

Wow that was a long unexpected break from this little space!

I wont lie it feels a little awkward and intimidating to come back

as if the sound of my typing will echo off empty screens.

Helloooooooo, Is anyone there?

For those of you who did hang in there,

I'm back, refreshed, and inspired to share lots of wonderful things with y'all!

I needed that break

focused solely on my family

soaked up every second of my little boys

the little part is fading of so quickly.....

Here's the fastest recap of our joyful Christmas I can give you

Ready!Set!Go!


Our first holiday to celebrate only as a family of four.
A traditional Indian dinner for Christmas Eve in honor of our future daughter.
Two sweet boys a tad overly excited for what the next day would bring.
Christmas Day! 
Squeals, laughter and happy dances more than I could count
Warm, homemade cinnamon rolls and hot coffee
The perfect, simple morning
The following day Mimi and Papa arrived for yet another round of Christmas. 
The boys were thrilled
gifts exchanged
games played
memories in the making 
A thankful heart for the time we get to spend together.
This was the gift that we gave to all the women in our family this year. 
You can read more about the organization here
A beautiful bracelet for a beautiful cause.
The boys helped collect the shells over the past few trips to the beach
They were a perfect fit!

It has been a wonderful, joyous, filled-to-the-brim Christmas season
I'm overly blessed to have so many dear friends and family surrounding us.
I'm overly thankful for the love of a husband, the smiles of two healthy boys
a nephew that makes me laugh harder then I knew I could, 
a niece in the making that I will surely spoil
and......................
the news that my beautiful baby sister and her husband are expecting their first bambino!!!!
Eeeeep! 
My parents will have 5 grandkids in 2013 
and we are praying number 6 miss Selah won't be far behind!


So there it all is!
I hope y'all's 2013 is off to a wonderful start!
So much more to share with you so stick around :)
