thursday june 27 2013 ice cream for lunch okay guys come for lunch steve called throughout the house we had all worked and played too long this afternoon so lunch was on the table at 2 if we didn t eat now it would ruin dinnertime at last they were all at the table heads bowed arms folded ready to give thanks and bless the food steve had prepared and was already dished out on plates and just as the prayer was about to begin i interrupted everything and said wait i hear the ice cream truck me yes me i did it i did what every parent would admonish a three year old not to do we leapt up from the table no prayer was said as left our plates and we fled outside to greet the truck now you must understand as carter perfected and polished the music box dancer song for his piano recital his motivation and treat was to buy ice cream from that ice cream truck once it came around playing its tune problem was it was only coming by on sunday so when it came by on a wednesday afternoon we literally lept at the chance and there our lunch sat on our plates forsaken on the day we had ice cream for lunch at 1 34 am no comments saturday june 22 2013 maxin and relaxin lucky addison he is on

the blessings in my life for having a c section it gives me the permission and necessity to just sit and rest and cuddle with my baby i love it i love it i love it it s hard to describe the bonding and attachment that i get from all that time together i am so thankful for the service that i get from my mom and my mother in law family friends and neighbors as i heal my dad even planned an entire memorial day bbq for the day that i got home which he and steve prepared completely bless his heart my personality makes me feel guilty to just sit and rest and cuddle so without the surgery i

girls is perfect for us we stayed in the hospital for 5 days including birth day and it was such a sweet bonding time for the three of us i love this newborn baby and how much she knows her mommy right after birth she was crying and crying as newborns do but as soon as she was brought over to me and i started whispering to her she was absolutely quiet and still and calm and not by coincidence it was very obvious that she knew my voice and she was comforted by it and she knew me she stayed quiet for the remainder of the time right there by me it was very tender carter carter is thrilled holding his brand new baby sister he seems to glow when he is around lylah his class took a pole what the gender would be 4 voted for a boy 16 voted for a girl when he held lylah for the first time he became trapped in their own little world started rocking her back and forth singing rock a bye baby but with these new words rock a bye baby in daddy s arms daddy will hold you safe from all harm daddy will love you and sing you to sleep love you forever a promise he ll keep these come from a book called daddy s lullaby by tony bradman love a book that he and his 1st grade teacher gave us as a baby gift carter had a very tender heart all during pregnancy too he was the luckiest kid who felt the baby move the most and he thrilled at every kick roll elbow and high five he got from the belly he came home from school one day with a book he wrote baby names by carter and on wednesday the day before the baby was born carter brought me breakfast in bed since i couldn t eat day of surgery and after school i found 16 presents wrapped for me and the baby he helped his siblings go around the house to find toys books and blankets that they thought the baby would like and they would like to share with the baby so sweet since we ve been home he has been so sensitive to her one of my favorite moments was when he was holding her and started reading her a chapter book addison wow i can not believe this little boy he is so sensitive and sweet to his baby lylah my favorite thing i heard him say was gasp you have the cutest little ears he can t get over her little ness he just keeps looking at her and stroking her and whispering to her there was a very magical moment when lylah held addison s hand shortly after they met he rocked her as he held her for the first time and started singing i am a child of god alana soon jumped in to join him and the three of them melted our hearts all together addison also helped grandma h make brownies to bring to the hospital as a birthday cake for lylah what a sweet idea alana alana is beyond tickled pink about this baby girl she is so sweet about sharing anything with her and she often comes to lylah with blankets stuffed animals and drawings that she will just love she has loved going through our baby clothes and knowing that she had worn this when she was a baby too when lylah came home from the hospital alana was the first to hold her i heard her whispering this is your house this is where we all live together and you will love it then she told me she wanted to put the baby in her doll crib alana was so excited to hear the baby s name was lylah grace and is insisting on calling her gracie angelina ballerina s best friend s name my dad stopped by for a surprise visit the day lylah was born of course he was immediately smitten my mom came the next day and had the same reaction of course steve s mom spent a few hours with me that afternoon and loved cuddling this little one and yea for cambrea our awesome friend and babysitter who snuck in a visit during her busy life she started babysitting for us when carter was just a few months old michaela steve s sister is very happy to see all this pink again and of course we had to send the announcement to my nephews servings missions right now in california and peru we thought this was appropriate for them so cute and cuddly from all her bending in the belly coming

so that other people won t feel insecure around you we were born to make manifest the glory of god within us it is not just in some it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously
