D's 35th Birthday

This year Dennis wanted to do something mellow for his birthday. We decided to go to our favorite breakfast spot Four Daughters's but when we arrived it was packed...we ended up at another cafe called   Marine Street Cafe and it was delicious. Its never easy going out to eat with Micaela because she just wants us to hold her. We still managed to enjoy our meal then we walked on the strand for a bit. We went home and had a relaxing day. Micaela started to push her little walker around which she had never really done before.It was so cute and Dennis said that was his best birthday gift. Although Micaela and I bought him some shirts and a new pair of sunglasses. That after noon we went to Nyla's 1st birthday party which was really fun. Then after Micaela went to sleep we ordered dinner in and had D's cake to celebrate. Happy birthday Dennis! Micaela and I love you so much.

Push Gift

Micaela was down for the night and it was weird that Dennis astarted to get ready or bed early. I went downstairs to pump and just surf the net a bit. At about 11pm Dennis walked down and asked when I was coming to sleep. I thought it was funny since I often go to bed before him...so I followed him up and started to get ready for bed. He kept gigling and I couldnt figure out why. I threw back the cover to jump in bed and there to my surprise was a little white box and a note. I stood in SHOCK with my mouth open...hahah! I was like...what is this?? So I read the card...it was so sweet.

The note said..

Georgina,
       I could never give you the gift that you gave to me. Our daughter is just so perfect and I never realized how much love I have in my heart. I am just so happy that you are the mother of my child and it has been amazing watching you and her grow.
I love you, Dennis

Then I was nervous to open the box and inside were beautiful diamond earrings! We don't have a ton off extra money with me staying home for the extra time but Dennis said he took money out of our savings. This was huge for him since he is such a "saver."

I did try them on and they a little big..hahah! Sounds funny I know. We decided to go check with Troy before I keep these...stay tuned. Regradless what I do with these I will never forget how special my hubby made me feel. He is amazing.

Family Fun w/t the Stumps and VanAukers

It was so great spending time with Laura and Merve and Aunt Tina and the boys. I want Micki around the family as much as possible so she grows to love them. We had breakfast here then headed over to Redondo Beach Pier to hang out. Micaela refused to nap..despite that she pretty well. I hope we can see them more often. These babies are growing up too fast!

Love Micki and Flynn staring at each other!

I love us!

7 year Anniversary

He still makes me laugh. He still cheers me up. He still gets me so frustrated. He still tells me I'm beautiful. He still makes me believe in myself. He still comforts me when I need it most. He still tells me to clean up after myself. He still gives me butterfly's when he holds me. He still is my best friend. He is still the love of my life....and the Father of my amazing daughter.

This year we decided to keep it simple. Just us three. We went to brunch at the Dietz's then came home and hung out as a family. The most mellow anniversary but still just right.

                                            I love you Dennis. Thank you for being my rock.

Just the three of us!

Never have I loved Dennis as much as I love him now. Dennis was amazing during our labor process... Getting me ice, spraying the fragrant mist ha ha, helping me go to the potty, but more importantly getting me through the pushing. He was my rock saying such positive things and then not saying anything but just massaging my legs. He was so amazing and when I saw him holding our baby while I got stitched up.. I nearly melted. They were chest to chest and he just stared at her with so much love and emotion. We were both so exhausted going on 48 hours of no sleep. He stayed with Micki while they weighed her, bathed her and gave her a vitamin k shot. For the few days in the hospital he still attended my every need and welcomed visitors despite our exhaustion. Now that we are home he continues to be so supportive and loving. I love that he just does things and doesn't ask.. Washes all the pump plastics, the bottles, cleans up and gets us food. He is such an amazing man. On top of all of this he tells me I'm so beautiful and how much he loves me. I'm so excited for our little family to share in this adventure of life! I cant wait to make everlasting memories!

The three of us for the first time!

First Father's Day for Dennis

I bought Dennis a card and a book called...Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters knowing I would be out of comish on Father's Day. I waited to write in the card as I wanted to him to be a dad so my card could be more heart felt.

Dear Daddy, 

 You are my Daddy!! We are both so lucky. Thank you so much for taking care of me when I was in mommy's belly. You always encouraged her to rest and eat right which made me a healthy girl. You always told mommy she was beautiful which made her love us even more. Then when it was time for my birthday you were so amazing. You helped come into this world by supporting my mommy in the hospital. What a day that was! We were all so tired but but you never stopped being positive and living with mommy. When I was born it was so comfy laying in your arms. I knew your voice and I was so relieved to hear it again.  Now that we are all in our home you have been the best Daddy a girl could ask. You take care of me by supporting mommy even if she did make us go to all those classes just so I could drink from her boobies. Thank you for making sure our home is clean and all my food utensils are clean. Mommy could not do this without you. Always hold me tight like you do at night. Always kiss mommy like you do right now. Even if I cry or get fussy don't give up on me or think you are not doing things right. I'm just a little baby girl and sometimes I don't know what's wrong... Kinda like when mommy cries. I love you to the moon and back... And mommy loves you even more!!! 

Happy Fathers Day Daddy!!!
