what a difference 6 months can make!

For most everyone else in the world today its christmas eve. and yes we too are celebrating the birth of our savior, but for our little family it marks the 1/2 birthday of this "little" man. i cant believe that he has been around for 6 whole months. i cant and never want to imagine my life with out him. he makes every day better then the one before. i love love love him and the new life we now enjoy as a family of 3 (plus the dog) :)

and because anyone who has a little munchkin reserves the right to spread a little cheese across the cyber world i am invoking my right to do so. so hopefully nobody loses their christmas cookies. ;)

When you were just a little boy you laid against my chest

your head tipped to one side, i could feel your every breath.

i lived to watch you sleep,

i loved to hold you close.

i knew one day the time would come and i would miss that most.

you'd grow up way to fast and then you'd move away

and rocking you to sleep at night would feel like yesterday.

each tear, each smile, each little yawn would melt my heart away,

the smallest things would make me smile every single day.

but, right now i get to hold you.

right now you're still so small.

right now i get to find your hand prints on the wall.

growing up. it comes to fast,

i know its not that far.

so ill slow down and breath you in exactly as you are.

******************

so for now merry christmas to all and to all a good night!

the REAL santa!!

Gabe could not get enough of the big jolly man. he just kept staring at him. no tears, no smile, just complete awe!

and for all of those who may not be a "believer" you have obviously never met the real santa, he and mrs. clause are currently taking christmas orders at the dickens festival. so if you haven't got around to mailing your letters off to the north pole you might want to stop bye. besides, this way you get a free candy cane, i mean what more could you possibly want. plus you save on postage!

all i want for christmas.....

....... i got 6 months ago. So Santa if you find your sleigh is a little full this year and you cant possibly fit one more thing {even for someone on the very tip top of the nice list} you can leave my presents behind.

how could i want anything else under my tree. this bruiser is the best gift i could ever get, and he just keeps on giving!

he wasn't to sure about cereal at first.

but add some prune juice to the mix and he is ALL smiles.

this picture is just random and very unflattering, but that's how we do it around here, some days we stay in our jammies and some days we just leave the pants behind all together.

but every day feels like christmas with this little dude around!!

love & hate

right now its a love hate relationship, but i'm only 2 weeks in, so its going to take some time to get to know each other, "work out the kinks" if you will. but i've made my decision and i'm not turning back.

good bye PC, you were good to me over the years but its time we part ways.

Hi my name is Lisa and i'm a MAC
