Spring!

Things are settling into a new normal around here....and I have to say I'm starting to feel a little more like "myself" these days.  'Cause becoming a momma is an eye-opening, life-changing, turn-your-world upsidedown kind of thing.  The last 6 weeks have been a whirlwind.  I've felt every emotion you can imagine - frustration, joy, exhaustion, wonder, anxiousness, awe - all intertwined with a new kind of all-consuming love. 

Natalie is settling into a routine, and I am learning how to co-exist with this tiny little being.  Between feeding her, changing diapers, and lots of snuggling....I'm learning how to sneak in the things that I used to love doing with my free time.  Such as decorating!  I love decorating my house for different holidays and seasons, and surrounding myself with beautiful reminders of the time of year.  So, last week, I found some snippets of time to give my shelves a spring make-over. 

 

Including things like.....

...birdies...

...spring flowers....

...easter eggs...

...and some new framed art...

And...I'm completely in love with this little spring baby...

She's in her new swing...borrowed from her cousin RJ....who was NOT happy when he saw her get in it.  He threw his cowboy hat and himself on the floor!  It is so hard to share when you are 2 1/2! 

Happy Spring!  We sure are happy around here! :)
