I was rocking rylie to sleep this morning, (yes i know she's 17 months, and i still rock her to sleep, but i'm okay w/that, cz i lover her SO....) Anyway, I started thinking about the day of her delivery...AGAIN! And how little she used to be. I thought about the many times we rocked in that rocking chair...her crying, me crying, trying to get her to sleep, or to nurse, or to KEEP her asleep....I thought about how she used to be just a little peanut, but boy, she ain't no peanut anymore!!! She is chubby, and I love the chubiness to death!!! I thought about how she has changed our family...and how much she is adored by everyone....and I love how her daddy calls her Rufus...
My mind then turned to this little man. He tests me EVERY DAY....I keep thinking its going to get easier with him. But almost every day is a challenge...I've learned to start picking my battles with him...but sometimes...MAN! Yet, he can be so sweet and so funny...and can make me laugh so much!!! I am still learning...and learning and learning....about him. (Isn't he so cute???)
Then there's this one. My oldest, the one who I am the hardest on. I expect alot from her, and probably too much. She strengthens me and helps me so much...I can't believe how much she's grown...I still remember her very first bday party...even remember what she wore!!! She is very sensitive...LOVES to talk..and just be around people...she is kind, nuturing, and so loving and love-able!!!
Abby, Abby, Abby...what will I ever do with her? She can be SO helpful...and SO NOT helpful...HA....her smile and laugh are contagious...and those dimples???!!! holy shoot!! She has a love/hate relationship with her younger brother. She is one of a kind...from her clothes, to her hair, to the way she talks....and she definitely loves to have FUN
What can I say about my main squeeze??? Marriage is ever-changing. Sometimes good, sometimes bad...sometimes "ok" and sometimes WONDERFUL!!! This man lifts me up, makes me laugh (even when I dont WANT to be laughing!!!), looks dang good in his blue jeans, and loves ME for ME....
I didn't want to lay rylie down after she did go to sleep. I just sat there holding her...looking at her and remembering...then to each one of my family members...one by one the memories came...flooding my mind...i was feeling immense happiness for those memories...it helped me to have a better day...

I was doing the same thing rocking Max the other night, best time ever. You have a wonderful family and it is nice to stop and reflect on that, glad it made you have a better day.
I can't believe how fast your kids are growing up! They are such cuties!
You have a great family Anissa!!!
I love moments like that. You have a beautiful family!
I will always rock Cedar...as long as she'll let me. (She's 3 and I rock her every night) I missed this when my boys were all the sudden growing up. So having her is my "rocking" blessing. Love you guys!
