A random line I read in a book today. Just another reminder to live in the "now". Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in what "used to be". Was life simpler as a single in college or as a married couple without kids? Yes, and yes. Did I feel more sure of myself and of who I am before Motherhood? You bet! The good news is I don't regret my 'past', and I honestly don't want to go back to it.
I take my present life one day at a time, and feel pretty darn good about myself when I get the laundry folded. We have allot of new road ahead of us and I like that. Sometimes I wish we could jump forward instead of doing these little baby steps - but that's a whole new post on its own!
So here is a taste of what my life is now:
Going from crib...
...to toddler bed!
Enjoying milk and cookies after reading "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"
Just being plain old silly!
And taking time enjoy my downward view. This belly gets around, don't you love all the spots and smudges!

I had a moment like this yesterday as I watched the movie "Marley and Me." There is a part of the movie when Owen Wilson looks at Jennifer Aniston after having 2 kids and a salary job and saying "This wasn't in the plan." And then she looks at him and says, "No it wasn't, this is better. This is so much better." And I really thought about the plans we had when we first got married and how our life is now...and it isn't what we planned, but it is so much better.
