I don't even know where to begin! It's been SO long since I've posted on this blog. SO many changes have been made in our lives. I really wanted to keep this blog up, and give my princess something to look back on as she gets older. (Bad Mommy..such a slacker!). Thanks to a little push from my Gramps..I hope to keep things up from now on.
Let's try to give an up-to-date update first. In 2011, I met a wonderful man. Since then he's earned the titles of My Best Friend, My Soul Mate and My Now, Forever & Always...and now I'm lucky enough to call him My Husband! He's a dream come true. He's an amazing Daddy to Adriana. I couldn't have found someone to treat us any better. I also gained a son (Ryan, who will be 18 in November). Life is complete and we really couldn't be happier.
As for Adriana (since this is HER blog after all), She started 2nd grade this September. She's a VERY smart girl. Big hearted, warmest smile, silliest of sillies, yet quiet and shy to new surroundings. She's also started gymnastics this year. So far, she LOVES going! I hope that it brings her the self esteem that Mommy has never had. She truly is the light of my life. The bond that we share is more than I even know how to put into words. This little girl is my life. I did not grown her in my tummy, but I watch her walk around holding my heart in her hands each and every day. I couldn't have been blessed with a more perfect and beautiful (inside & out) daughter.
Again, I'll do my best to keep up! Sorry it's been so long. We've really enjoyed life thus far and hope to continue many happy moments. Below are a few recent photos of my girl.
1st Day of 2nd Grade, September 2012
My amazing family. God has blessed each of us in SO many ways!
(My husband Eric, son Ryan, Me & Beany, June 2011..Our Wedding Day!)
Just going to throw this one in here too. Adriana had a bout of pneumonia & staph infection in Feb. 2011 and was hospitalized for a total of 9 horrifying days. She then was sent home with a PICC line for 30 days. It was a long month, but I'm so thankful for the doctors, nurses, specialists, medications and everything that it took to get my baby girl back to 100% healthy! It was a VERY scary month, to say the least. We're thankful that God was watching over our princess.
As I said before...I'm going to try to keep things up. Adriana will love to read how much her Mommy loved her when she gets older. :) So, check back again!
XOXO,
Shawna & Beany
