Welcome Spring!


Cannon is 10 weeks! Wow, how time goes by too quickly! Thankfully, the warmer weather is here and we can put away the winter stuff! Sunshine is one of those amazingly wonderful "freebies" in life that God grants us!
This past weekend was fabulous, and we enjoyed it with my parents in North Augusta. Cannon and I enjoyed a walk through downtown North Augusta (where I used to jog back in the day...) He also enjoyed playing with Grammy and Poppa as well as with his cousins, Dylan and Shelby. He went to his cousin, Olivia's, 6th Birthday party as well. I must say he was the most handsome fella there! :)

Cannon at 7 Weeks

Who could not love this little one??? Cannon is the most precious gift and it's so hard for me to get anything done around the house muchless get myself together each day...I have to make such a conscious effort to to the simple things I used to do! The best solution for that is when I have to meet a client since that forces me to get a shower, do hair and my makeup!

Anytime Cannon's awake, I feel like I need to be talking or reading to him and when he finally goes to sleep, I have like an hour to do four hours worth of stuff--work on the computer, make phone calls/appointments, LAUNDRY, cleaning, and be a wife somewhere in between! Brian is so patient and he's very good with Cannon.

Okay, enough venting....Motherhood is one of the best gifts but it just takes us TYPE A personalities a bit longer to adjust!

Business....

It's been so busy around here yet it seems most days consist of nursing, changing diapers, playing with Cannon and holding and loving on him and finally putting him down to rest....the next thing I know, he's awake and we start all over again! Motherhood is an amazing gift and I pray I get better and better with time!

I have continuted to work and am thankful for that. Today, I showed houses for about five hours, and Daddy and Cannon had some bonding time. I really wish I could be a stay-at-home mom, but right now, we need my income so that's the way it goes....hopefully with time, I will be able to focus 100% on being a wife and mommy...

One thing I really need to work on is being more sociable with my sweet friends. It's so difficult though! I'm going to make a conscious effort to be a better friend and get more involved very soon! I definitely know that living out here in Chapin makes it difficult, but I don't see us moving away anytime soon.
