SLEEPY HEAD

Today Britten told me that her favorite pasttime is sleeping. It would be my favorite one, too, if I ever got any. It always seems like she is sleeping so hard, so I think that i can get a quick nap in. As soon as my head hits the pillow, she decides that she is ready to wake up. I don't mind, though. I love it when she will only quit crying whenever she is holding my finger. She usually falls asleep this way, too. She is too cute for words. I am so blessed.

THE PUPPIES

O N SATURDAY, THE PUPPIES WILL BE 4 WEEKS OLD. THEY ARE SOO DANG CUTE. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO GET A GOOD PICTURE BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT SIT STILL. I MANAGED TO GET A PICTURE OF THESE TWO,THOUGH. KYLE WAS A LITTLE JEALOUS, TOO, AND HAD TO GET HIS NOSE IN THE PICTURE. HAHA. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN, AND I HATE THAT WE HAVE TO SELL THEM. DO YOU THINK THAT JUSTIN WOULD KILL ME IF I TRIED TO TAKE ALL 6 OF THEM WITH THEIR MOM AND DAD BACK TO GEORGIA? HAHAHAHA!

10 weeks old

I love my Mommy

Thankful

I am so thankful for my family. I think that I have the best family and couldn't ask for more. Since me and Britten have been in Texas, I have had so much help. I am very thankful for how giving and loving my family is. Now when I say my family, I also mean the Steffens. Since me and Justin have been married, I have never called them my inlaws because they have made me feel like a part of their family. Everyone is really helping me pass time while Justin is away. It is also very comforting to know that my family is in everyone's prayers. I can definitely feel Gods grace surrounding us. We love yall! Thanks so much!

Britten is 9 weeks old!

Cutie Pie

I really think that Britten knows what a camera is. She knows when to smile, and always makes funny faces. Aunt Ally just eats it up!!!

The Puppies

The puppies are so adorable. They are nine days old and are so much fun. They have such a pretty coat, and I know that they will sell fast! There are 2 chocolates and 4 blacks. CUTE!!!!

8 Weeks Old

This picture was taken when Britten was eight weeks old. She is getting so big! We get to have fun playing all day. She is sleeping really good through the night. I consider myself very blessed to have such a wonderful baby. We can never go anywhere whithout people commenting on how beautiful that she is. Can you blame them?! I love being Brittens mom!

Seven Weeks Old

Today Britten is seven weeks old! She has gotten so big. She is smiling ALL the time, and she even giggles. She loves to lay on her back and play on her hippo gym. She is getting a lot of attention here in Texas. Everyone is calling me so they can meet her. I love this little girl soooo much. It is such a joy being a Mom!

Swinging and Sleeping

Britten fell asleep in her swing, and I had to take some pictures. She loves her swing at her Gammy's house and usually falls asleep when she is in it. I thought that it was also cute that she had on her I Love Daddy bib! She is going to be a Daddys girl. WE LOVE YOU JUSTIN!

Cute as can Be!

I just love Britten in this little outfit! Isn't she just a doll?

5 Weeks old

Yesterday Britten was five weeks old. She is sleeping so good through the night. These pictures were of her napping. She was awake for 6 hours straight yesterday, then fell asleep watching the fan. We had fun playing and spending time at home. I love the pictures of her only in her diapers!

The Amazing power of prayer

Isn't the power of prayer amazing? We are so blessed to be able to go to the God of the universe and talk to him. As you know, yesterday was a really hard day for me with Justin leaving. Up until yesterday, I don't think that I really believed that he was going to be gone for 120 days because I wouldn't let myself think about it. The hardest part of it all was watching him have to tell Britten goodbye. I held myself together until the end, and then I lost it. I know that I will always remember the moment when he held me and comforted me. He is such an amazing and strong husband. The whole way home from dropping him off, I sang the words to It is well with my soul. The more I sang them, the more I meant it. I know that this isn't going to be easy for either of us, but I know with Gods help we can do it. When I got home, I hit my knees and prayed for strength and courage. I prayed for Justin's safety and for him to have strength also. As I was praying, I slowly felt the burden of this all to be slowly lifted from my body. Isn't God awesome! To know that he listens to us and takes our requests and answers them amazes me.

We Will Miss You

Today Justin left to go to Diego Garcia for four months. It was so hard on all three of us to say goodbye, but we know that he will be back before we know it. We love you, Justin, and can't wait to hear from you. You are in our prayers.

Tell me I'm not Cute!

Four weeks old...ALREADY!

I can't believe that Britten was four weeks old yesterday! She is getting so big! I have been getting so many requests for more pictures. Sorry that it has taken me so long. I promise to be better! Love yall all.
