Feels Like Home To Me

We finally got our shipment in a few days ago.

You would think that since we got rid of most our furniture before we left, to start fresh here, that it would be fairly easy.

No. Not close. Who owns this much stuff?

Apparently us.

I had no idea how much clothes we had.

And while unpacking etc. little Amalia, omg.

She's cute, she's sweet, I love her, but she is crawling!

I thought she would perfect sitting before crawling.

That wasn't in her plans though. I put her here, I find her there. I can't leave her anywhere.

And then she wants me to hold her to help her walk... all the time.

As though I want her learning to walk anytime soon, no thank you!

The good news is she's growing so sweetly.

She is a very happy little baby.

And I'm a happy Mummy.

And her crib is here! In her own little quiet room.

And our bed is here!

My body is slowly easing the aches and pains caused by so many nights on an air mattress.

And because Amalia has been crawling every time I put her to sleep I can't leave her because I am afraid she will fall.

So the crib has opened up so much more time in my day.

And what do I do with that time?

COOK!

I got all my spices back!

Definitely back on my A game in the kitchen now.

Feel so at home in there.

So excuse me while I go and get in my "comfort zone" known as the kitchen and whip up something for the family!

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured. Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

Rachael Emily-Baby Naming

The hardest part about having a child for me is finding a name. I have been dreading the naming process, that is why we started so early. I didn't get a name for Ethan until I went into labor and was hoping that would not be the case this time. I am a super organized control freak kind of person so it has been stressing me out. We decided to go to Barnes and Noble to give it another try. While searching, and hating every name, I re-suggested a name that I have loved for a long time and we decided! Yay! I was SO excited! I still am so excited. I never would've guessed we would find a name so soon. For now I will announce the middle names and save her name for her birth announcement. The middle names are Rachael Emily. Rachael is to honor my lovely sister that passed 8 years ago. She is my heart. Emily is my little sisters middle name, and she is my everything. My 2 favorite people balled up into one precious angel, our daughter. =) Celebrate with a pum...
