It's been almost 3 years since we met Parker. She was a surprise baby to us, one we hadn't planned for but one that has changed our lives in ways we never imagined. She has always seem to have this knowledge of her presence in our lives, as a blessing more than anything else. She is our little calmer, she has this uncanny way of coming up to me when I'm at my worst and putting her sweet hand on my face and helping bring a sudden calm over me. Now don't get me wrong, she is a BUSY, BUSY little girl. From the moment she wakes up to the moment she finally gives in to sleep at night, that little girl has things to do. Whether it's dressed up in high heels and carrying a purse or finding a way to drive her big sister crazy, Parker is always up for a challenge. I can't believe our baby is already turning 3! She kept her end of the deal this summer, we told her if she could potty-train, we'd send her to sister's pre-school. Well guess who's potty-trained...
I did something a little outside my character last weekend. A friend of mine, Carrie who is such a talented photographer, wanted to do a Boudair session. And I volunteered! I wanted to do some fun pictures for Kris for Valentine's Day with some of his firefighter stuff. So, we spent a good part of last Sunday afternoon laughing our butts off! I had a great time and felt super sexy and still do, thank you Carrie! I am HORRIBLE at keeping surprises a secret when it comes to my husband, and he is too. Most Birthday or Christmas presents end up being given a week before the big days, that's just how we roll I guess. So, I showed what she has finished editing so far and he LOVES them! Here's a couple to show off the talents of Mrs. Carrie Rolin!
Writing is one of my strengths, sometimes I worry that it's my only strength. But, I'm sure some of you will argue that it's not. I've started this blog kind of as a way to unwind and to reflect on the life I lead as a mama to our 2 P's in a Pod, and as a firefighter wife. I hope you will check back every once in awhile to see what's new and what's on my mind. I love my family and hopefully that love will shine through my words...so here we go on our ride called life.
