One Thing I Don't Worry About...

Nick and I are about to enter into another transition period in our lives. We will be moving in with Nick's grandma in order to save us some money when Nick goes back to school full time to become a Respitory Therapist as well as give Grandma piece of mind. (She's not a fan of living alone.) With these changes comes some worries for me. I worry about finances, healthcare, Nick having enough time to do it all, normal complications that come with moving into someone else's house among other things. I know that all of these worries will work themselves out, but it's good to know that with all of this craziness there is one thing that I never worry about....

The thought of going back to work after Sienna made me want to cry and I dreaded the idea that I might have to put her in daycare with someone I didn't know. Lucky for me Sienna gets to hang out with my cousin Rachel while I'm away. I am so thankful that this opportunity was provided for us. I know that Sienna is not only being well taken care of but loved as well. Rachel jokes that Sienna merely "rents a room" at her house with her ridiculously good naps but it gives me serious piece of mind knowing that she's there. Here are some pictures that I stole from Rachel's blog of her silly kids with Sienna.

He is such a good helper.. Sienna loves the Itsy Bitsy Spider and so he sings it to her anytime she's sad...from anywhere in the house :)


They're twins!


Thank you Riddle Family for loving my baby girl. It helps calm this crazy new mom's mind.

Showering Sam

This weekend was my little sister Sam's bridal shower. My three older sisters were the ones who actually put the whole thing together and they did a fantastic job. They went all out for the BBQ theme. There was ribs, drumsticks, assorted salads, macaroni and cheese, freckled lemonade, a home made edible arrangement and the thing that inspired it all...corn on the cob cupcakes. The party gifts were even steak seasoning and BBQ sauce.


Sienna and I came over early to help set up and get things ready for the party. The grandmas were especially helpful taking care of the silly babies while the moms went to work...(as well as the grandpas and dad who helped watch the kids at home.)


There was good food, games and lots of presents. It was a lot of fun and I wasn't even the bride. It was a great day and I'm glad to know that Sam is off to a great start thanks to all the family and friends that came to support her and shower her with gifts.



We can't wait until July 30th for the wedding. Sienna is excited to have another uncle.
Congrats Sam and Jake!
