Saylor Says

A few things I want to remember lately:

• "Super careful daddy" (While Matt was driving and slowed down for some people to cross the street).
• "Very proud of you!" (To herself while helping us hang decorations on our Christmas tree).
• "All done Christmas!" (When we turned the lights on the tree off).
• Laying between us in bed one morning, she pointed to Matt's glasses and said "daddy glasses," then mine "mommy glasses," then her face, "say say no glasses." (sounding very sad).
• When I told her we needed to pray for a friend in the hospital, she promptly folded her hands and exclaimed "God is good!"  (She knows this from a music CD she listens to, but I was surprised that she connected it to praying)
• "More, Some!" (Asking for some of what we are eating, or "sandwich some", "apple some", etc.).
• "Bye  bye William" (To a random little boy who I did not know walking out of her class - turns out they are classmates).
• Pointing to our Christmas stockings, including the one my sister knitted for her last year: "Daddy's sockie, Mommy's sockie, Saylor's sockie (something unintelligible) Aunt Ellen!"
• Bringing a little piece of greenery from garland that had fallen on the floor over to me "Oh no, Christmas!" (sounding distressed).

And one word I will be happy not to remember: MINE!!!!!! :)

Happy 30th Birthday to my amazing husband!

There's no one else I'd rather spend the next 6 hour car ride (not to mention life) with!

This pic makes me happy...

Exciting News!

We are VERY excited to announce (in blog land anyways) that sweet Saylor is going to be a big sister! We are having another baby in May 2011! I am 12 weeks along and we heard the heartbeat for the second time today. I love that sound...it is so exciting and reassuring. :)

Here is a picture of Smith Baby 2  at 8 weeks. So little, but already so cute (in my biased mother's opinion).

And here's a picture of big sis Saylor! I know she is going to be such a good big sister and I can't wait to watch her in that role. It's hard to believe that she won't be the baby anymore...she has grown up so fast. So many emotions for me to process!

But mainly we are just incredible thankful for these two sweet lives. They bring us so much joy and we know we are very, very blessed.
