Today's weather sucked, actually this week the weather has sucked. Thank goodness for DoTerra Wild Orange to get our spirits up and get us moving!! We've managed to get outside every other day but today the dark clouds, wind and off and on rain got the best of us. So we decided to cozy up in our pj's which later turned into Addilyn in a completely non-matching outfit because of a dinner incident and had a well deserved girls day in! We spent the day baking and eating and she sang to me during every. single. meal. See picture below for how beautiful that looked. I tell you, it's a good thing she's cute. We also got to organizing all her new toys and finally getting them downstairs into her toy room, instead of upstairs in our spare bedroom. We even had time for a tea party tonight during the Leaf Game! I think as she gets older i cherish more and more, the days I can just spend inside her and I doing absolutely nothing. The days that are spent playing with a tea set, and eating fake sandwiches and hearing her giggle every time I "pour" her a new cup of tea and then drink it on her. Watching her explore all her new toys and babbling to me all about it. She's not speaking one word I know but its like I understand exactly what she's trying to say. We finished off our girls day with her new star lights, and snuggles in her rocking chair. We literally did nothing this entire rainy day, but it was everything to me. We hope your rainy days are just as wonderful and loving as ours was. -Becky

Christmas is FINALLY here! I feel like Elf, when he finds out Santa is coming! "SANTA!!! I KNOW HIM!" for real, that's me when it comes to how excited Christmas makes me. I love the spirit of Christmas, the memories which this holiday holds. The way everything seems happier and more carefree when this season rolls around. Last year and this year hold more meaning though, as I experience Christmas through Addilyn's eyes. This year especially as she is more aware of all that is happening around her.
Last night we put up our tree and what an amazing time that was. She even helped hang ornaments up on the bottom branches and than stared in amazement at what she had just done. Christmas time for us is also a time to remember the manger, and the baby who was born unto us. To our family, Christmas is more than just gifts, its remembering and celebrating the ultimate gift that was given to us. So as we placed the last ornaments on the tree and Paul put the angel up our angel. We were deeply reminded of all this season means, and of all the goodness God has blessed us with in this past year alone. We hope as you all start to get into the Christmas spirit, you too are reminded of all God's love, and of the amazing gift that one little babe brought to this earth. A merry heart does good like medicine. Proverbs 17:22 But I swear she was just born. Didn't we just bring her home. Didn't she just fit into 0-3 month clothing. I swear she did. Didn't she just learn how to hold her head up? Wasn't her first belly laugh just yesterday!? Didn't she just say her first word. Didn't she just learn how to blow kisses. Are you sure this year has actually gone by that fast?! Sometimes I just want to freeze time. I wish I had when she was younger. I say younger as if she's 50, but for real she might as well be. I wish I had memorized every little sigh into my chest, when she snuggled to sleep at night time. I wish I had really, really focused on the sparkle in her eye the first time she rolled over and then held her head up. My goodness, was she ever proud! And so was I. I wish I had just taken in more. Even though I breathed in every single ounce of that goodness when I could. I still feel it wasn't enough. There just wasn't enough time. But isn't that what parenting is though? Wishing back the past, and trying to slow down the present? At least I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. As this year passes I look forward to all our new firsts, and adventures. I slowly breathe in another deep breath of all the goodness that is Addilyn and hope and pray time may slow down, just a little, just enough. Welcome to our blog, forgive me this first post will probably be rough as we introduce ourselves and find our groove! We're the Thompsons, we are a loving family of 5, and 2 of our members have 4 legs. Addilyns our beautiful baby girl who just turned 1 on November 7th. Peyton is our 4 year old boxer, whose full of energy, snuggles and love. Fred is our 16 year old thoroughbred horse, whose the biggest puppy dog you've ever met. We are a hard working, God loving family. My husband Paul, works full time in special construction and myself, Becky! I am a stay at home momma, who runs 3 successful businesses in between trying to keep the house standing while my husband is at work all day. I work for Norwex, as well as run my own dog treat and accessories company called Petyon's Favourites, as well my husband and I own our own DJ'ing & Entertainment company called Family Of DJ's & More! This blog will be focused on our life, our hardships, our triumphs, our prayers, and devotions as well as the stuff that's in between! We hope you enjoy the ride with us, we don't have a map we're following, we're leaving it all up to God, and let me tell you life has never been as beautiful as it now. So buckle up, because the Thompson's are just getting started. -Becky. |
