Back Street's Back Alright!

I'm back! And I've come to the realization that the long list of things I wanted to blog about is never going to be blogged about. So I'm just starting now. Well, actually I'm going to combine the 3 most important things that have happened this year.
First, Melia turned 5! My little girl is growing up!


Dear Melia,
Happy Birthday! You are getting so big! You are finishing up preschool right now and you just love it. You especially love your teacher, Miss Pamela. You even asked me one time if she could be your mom and I could be your big sister. :) You are so smart and you are learning so many cool things at school. You always share random things you have learned and sometimes you even teach me some things I didn't know. You are a great big sister to Naiya and you still love to play with her and make her laugh. You two love sharing your room and you are great at helping her with what she needs. I love to watch you two together. When daddy gets home from work each night, you love to have him throw you up in the air 3 times every single night. You are very kind and thoughtful and you help me remember to be joyful in life. Daddy and I love you sooooo much and we are so happy that we get to be your parents.
Love Always,
Mommy

Event #2 Naiya's birthday (which will be happening this Saturday, but she gets her letter a little early.)


Dear Naiya,
Happy birthday to my little chub chubs! You are going to be 2 and I can't believe it! You are so full of life and joyfulness and you make me smile every day. You are learning so much from your big sister. You copy almost everything she does. You love to laugh and are learning to talk more and more every day. You currently love Ariel from the Little Mermaid and carry Melia's Ariel doll around with you everywhere you go. She bought that doll with her own money that she earned, so you are very blessed to have a nice big sister who shares her things with you. You are learning to share too and you LOVE to dance! You love me and your daddy and Melia and we are so glad we get to have you in our family! We love you soooo much!
Love Always,
Mommy

Event #3 We're pregnant!
And we are excited! I'm especially excited to be out of the first trimester now. 3 months hit and it was like I felt better over night. No nausea for me anymore. Yay! We think it would be nice to have a boy since we already have two girls, but we will be more than happy to have a girl too. Melia has her heart set on a baby brother though.

So there's the update on us. I plan to be more consistent with blogging again. I want to have some kind of record of our lives. :)
