New Adventure

The last week I have been reflecting on life, more specifically the last few years of my life. I couldn't figure out what sparked this unscheduled trip down memory lane, but today it dawned on me. I was recently asked to serve in our church youth program for girls 12-18. When they asked my first response was, "But I am not that old!" and then it was, "Are you sure?" Well they were and so its been a grand week with the girls!

But as I sat this last week thinking, so many thoughts overcame me I felt like I relived my high school and college days all over in a week and it was so exhausting.  I realized that I had many great experiences and many difficult ones that have slowly changed me to the wife and mother that I am now. I thought of all the people that have been in my life how glad I am to have had so many great oppotunities.
 
Being back in the Young Womens program as a leader is great, especially for me because of my sweet daughter. She will be there before I know it and I am glad to be back learning and teaching (even though my knowledge of life is so limited). We had a great conversation in class today and one leader said, "the more I learn the less I feel like I know". That is so true! Before I was a mom I knew it all, or so I really thought. While I did and still do feel prepared for motherhood raising children is a daunting task and I am glad I get to keep learning because there is SO MUCH to learn. 

All dressed and ready for her first Sunday in Young Womens. Sorry it's not the greatest picture, church starts at 9am which is super early for this late night party animal. But she looked so cute Daddy look a picture of her laying on the bed right as we were ready to leave.

We celebrated Valentine's Day Friday with a group of friends. It was a great party we had a make your own pizza buffet followed by watching Sixteen Candles and ended the night with a delicious chocolate fondue. It was such a great night! Apparently we are only good at taking pictures of our little miss these days. So here she is modeling her Valentine's outfit!

Blessed Sunday

This Sunday was a big day for Miss Genivieve. Not only was it our first time at church as a family of three but it was Genivieve's blessing as well. With family and friends in attendance, Brent gave our little miss the sweetest blessing. It was a very tender and beautiful blessing. My sweet baby looked angelic, I did my best to hold myself together but I'm a mom now and I guess that means I have no choice but to blubber away. I really should invest in some waterproof mascara.

Proud Dad for sure

Daddy's Little Sweetheart.

Genivieve turned one month old yesterday, we are just beside ourselves, she is growing like a weed. Our good friends, the Churnesky's, had their baby boy on Monday and he makes Genivieve look so big. She is clearly starting to recognize us as her parents and her cute little personality traits are slowly becoming apparent. She is getting prettier by the day, just look for yourself!



This being a father thing is pretty cool.
