Simple Pleasures

OK. Here we are! We have officially joined the blogging club. I was trying to ignore it for awhile, but I just couldn't take the peer pressure anymore. Actually I just didn't really think our lives were that exciting to justify blogging. But I've been thinking about all of the blessings in my life right now and even though they may not seem exciting, they sure are making us happy. Of course the biggest blessing of all is our almost 3 month old baby Anna. We just love her so much and she makes us so happy. (and at times, sleepy) She is so much fun and brings us so many simple pleasures. I think that's the theme of our blog...nothing too outstanding or exciting, but just the simple pleasures of life. Like when Anna wakes up in the morning and gives me the biggest smile, or when she laughs at me when I'm being silly, to see her learn and grow each day, or when the sun comes out after a dumb snow storm (I hate winter), or finding $20 in my coat pocket (that really happened to me last week!), or Dave having a day off and getting to sleep in. Of course I'll try not to bore you each time these things happen, but just wanted to warn you from the get go, I love the simple things in life and that's what I get excited about. So thanks for looking and hopefully this is a good way to keep you all up to date on our simple, but happy lives.

Of course I had to include some pictures of our cutie. Here are some recent ones. I couldn't decide which one to post so I just added all three. (I have decision issues) I just got that cool little chair for her. It's so funny because it lets her sit up just like she's a big kid. Whenever I put her in it, I can tell she thinks she's pretty cool.
