so thankful for friends willing to watch her for 6 days and nights!

and thankful for the time that we will get to focus on us :)

here's to babymoon #2!

and then there were...

 it's getting hard to hide

and i don't really want people to think that i've just been eating too many Peeps
(which i have ;)
and you just get to this point where you can't keep it in any longer!

i'm 12 weeks along

my maternity jeans are my favorite article of clothing in the closet at the moment :)

my first prenatal appointment is monday

morning sickness is over!

we are so excited!!!!

and Brighton may appear to be excited...but she has no idea ;)

every so often, I Heart Faces puts on a photo contest

i never win...BUT it's a fun way to push my creative self!

it's also a great place to be inspired by others :)

their current themed challenge is "framed"

i keep seeing these beautiful backlight photos people are doing, and love them!

so i decided to try that out for this challenge

i have much to learn, but ya gotta start somewhere :)

all but one

this post contains all my pictures from february but one

*sigh*

there are only so many pictures to be taken in this tiny space

w/ the same activities happening over and over again

we read

we throw toys everywhere

we eat

we sleep

we climb on furniture

we climb on the table

we open cupboard doors and empty the contents

we eat bananas w/ the peel still in tack 

we learn where our hair, eyes, nose, lips, teeth, cheeks, ears, tongue, and toes are

.......

i am so very tired of winter

tired of being cooped up in this house

i just want to go to the park

or the "beach"

i want to be outside w/out having to dress like an eskimo

which i hate doing

people tell me that if i dress right i'll be warm and i'll enjoy it

sorry, doesn't work for me :(

winter is not my season!

on the bright side...

the temperatures are slowly creeping up

we almost got above freezing the other day!

the snow is very very pretty

my amazing hubby builds me a cozy little fire every morning :)

AND...in 2 months my mom and sister are coming to visit!

sooooo looking forward to that :)

Brighton climbs up on this chair and watches Dave leave and come home from work almost every day

she knows what the word "book" means and often brings them for us to read to her

crazy fun hair!

she loves to be in the kitchen creating all kinds of havoc for me while i cook

it's snowing outside here today

and i hear it's supposed to do the same in the south

hope y'all enjoy it more than me!!! ;)
