Todd and Jodi Visit

It's always great when Courtney and I get phone calls from people that want to come visit us here in Biloxi, Mississippi. We don't get them often, so when we do get those phone calls, we feel incredibly blessed.

Back in March, Jodi a long time family friend, who is like a 2nd mom to me, called and asked if her and her husband, Todd could come our way after they spent some time in Florida. Well, heck yea, come on over!

They had a nice vacation in Florida before heading our way. We dealt with some sickness when they originally wanted to head this way, so they came up that next weekend. It ended up being a couple day stay here in Biloxi, for them, but we all enjoyed every minute of it!

Todd and Jodi got to meet Logan for the first time and had lot of fun playing with the girls

Shaggy's for dinner

Thanks Jodi, for letting me steal your pictures for our blog :)

Visit from Great Grandma Kuipers

We were so excited when Grandma Kuipers called and asked if it was alright for her and Maurie could come into Biloxi for a visit on their way home from Yuma, Arizona. It was way out of the way for them, but they were happy to drive it to see the family. 

It was a quick visit for them because they also wanted to get home to Holland after being in Yuma all winter, but it was great seeing my grandma with her great grandkids. The girls really loved having her and Maurie here.

Of coarse, it was sad for everyone to see them go so quickly, but we hope to see them again sooner then later!

Opening Day

It's opening day for the Detroit Tigers and unfortunately we won't be able to watch them here, but the Polnicky family is still rooting for the Tigers from here in Mississippi. 

Let's Go Detroit Tigers!












My Littles

As I look back on these pictures that I have taken through out the last couple weeks, it truly brings tears to my eyes. My littles are getting so big, so fast. 

Since Courtney has gone back to work, I feel like I have been in a mommy fog. I feel like I am always doing something, washing bottles, picking up toys, getting lunch together, playing with the girls, all while carrying Logan, so he's not crying. But, today, I think it really clicked inside my head, that I need to take a break from all those things for a few minutes and really enjoy the moment because my babies aren't going to be babies for long. I hate even thinking about it, but before I know it, they will be in high school and off doing sports and hanging out with their friends, not wanting to hang out with mommy and daddy. So, I have to treasure these moments now, because before I know it they will be gone. 















My home is filled with toys and has fingerprints on everything, is never quiet. My hair is usually a mess and I'm always tired, but there is always love and laughter here.
In twenty years my children won't remember the house or my hair but they will remember they time we spent together and the love they felt.

Baby Logan Smiles

Logan's first smiles began on March 18. Then, the smiles were here and there, but now Logan is smiling all the time, especially when he sees you right after he wakes up from a nap. 

Courtney and I have truly been blessed with a happy little boy and we can't help but smile when you see the smiles on his face. I mean, look how adorable he is!!
