Ok, I realize it's been a really long time!

Who knew having a child and working a full time job would be so time consuming? I apologize to those who follow, it's been one busy, crazy year! Instead of going on and on about how my birthday back in October rocked and how Ace's first Halloween was precious (not to mention his first Thanksgiving, Christmas, NYE,  Super Bow Party, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Parade, Matt's first birthday as a daddy, Easter and my first Mother's Day), I'll just give you some pictures (and maybe some videos) with a few words...

 

Halloween: Matt went as Darth Vader, Ace was our Yoda

 My first Easter!

I cried so much on my first Mother's Day. Full of emotion and lots and lots of love!

My first Mother's Day gift. Something I've always wanted! 

Matt is a great man and I'm lucky he translated Ace's gibberish to make my Mother's Day so special <3

All in all, we're having the best time being parents and watching our little man grow up so fast. More stories and videos to come, I promise it won't be another 7 months until I update again.

XOXO
