I'm Still Alive (little update) || Family Photos 2024

 well hello lovelies 

My has it been awhile since I posted last! Being a busy mama, wife, homemaker, and living my dream has taken up my time and I'm afraid I've forgotten my little place on the internet here! 

I do love blogging, and it's almost a part of my little journal so I do want to try posting more but, we shall see! *winks* Being a wife and mama takes up most of my time <3 

Nancy is already a year old and growing more and more each day! Learning to say more words and as of now her newest is "tank you mama" whenever you give her something. <3 I love my little girl and couldn't be prouder! 

Also, if you don't follow me on Instagram... we are expecting baby #2! We couldn't be more excited, and Nancy adores babies so I'm sure she's going to be tickled when she realizes she's going to have one of her own. <3 

Byron's work has been steady and for that we are so thankful. God has blessed us. <3 

We're still living in our little basement apartment, and slowly re-organizing and making it more to our liking and needs. We should be able to fit baby #2 (baby peanut as Byron calls them <3) nicely and we're figuring out better ways to make it comfortable and homey. <3 We are so thankful and blessed for our home and that it's from people we know and in the country; I wouldn't know how to live in town. God is so so good!

We are so eager and thankful for the upcoming year and excited to see what God has in store for our great nation. He is so good. There is hope yet for our country and we are going to continue in prayer. May God bless and protect our new President as he tries to turn our country around for the better. May the Lord guide him to place the right people in office, and lead our country right... back to God. <3 

So, there are a few snippets from our past... year I guess! I haven't posted since Nancy was born. Wow. A lot has happened since then! 

We recently took our annual family photos and they are just too cute not to share! So I'll post those down below *heart eyes*

I hope this post finds you well. Smile, Jesus loves you! We have so much to be thankful for. <3

Nancy Rose

 

Nancy Rose 

Born September 2nd, 2023 • 8lb 4oz • 20in 

It was a long hard labor but she safely came into this world with big eyes and a good loud cry. Mama and Daddy were both in tears as we held her up and seen what she was… a girl! 

After 31 hours of labor (not all of it was active labor) and no sleep, our little bundle was welcomed into this world. We didn’t know what we were having so when my midwife held her up and said “what did you have?” and me and Byron spread open her legs I burst into tears and laughed and said “it’s a girl!” And I held her close to my chest crying and repeating, “it’s a girl! Oh our Nancy Rose is here!” 

I had her at home and it was a day I’ll never forget. <3 Hubby got to watch the whole thing and cut the cord! 

Her name is extra special to us.. <3 Nancy is after Byron’s mom who sadly passed away in a car accident when my hubby was three years old, and after my Grandma who passed from cancer when I was three. (Crazy that my grandma and his mom have the same name!) and Rose after my sweet little cousin Abigail Rose <3  

We are all doing good and getting enough sleep <3 The Lord has blessed us and we are beyond happy.
