Through thick and thin

Anthony's grandpa passed away Wednesday morning, and last night at his viewing someone mentioned that him and Anth's grandma had met when they were 12 years old. Can you imagine losing someone you love after they have been in your life for 56 years?! I couldn't handle it! That's not the point of this post though. The whole thing got me thinking about how lazy our generation is about marriage and relationships. People don't seem to think they need to put any effort into things. We all expect it to be easy. So many people get divorced for stupid reasons. Don't get me wrong, I think in some cases it's definitely the way to go. By that I mean, if your spouse is sleeping around or you're being abused,. I definitely wouldn't expect anyone to stay for that. We all need to understand times get hard, people get stressed and people fight. There are so many steps you can take to try to repair a marriage before giving up in it. When I said my vows to Anth, I meant them! I plan to stick by him through thick and thin, and I plan to take every measure (ife needed it) before I would ever give up on

Tomorrow our little princess will be one year old!!! I know everyone says it, but time has flown by so fast. Bella has brought so much joy to our lives. Some facts about Bella..... Loves to dance! Any music that comes on she starts bouncing or wiggling her hips. Loves to snuggle! Climbs on everything...beds, chairs, couches, etc. Eats really well, but especially loves green beans, ramen noodles and pasta. Has 2 bottom teeth, and is getting 2 on top I took her off the bottle yesterday, and she is doing really well Sleeps through the night Knows when I get the water bottle and comb it's time to do her hair, so she backs up and sits in front of me Talks a ton! She says hi, bye bye, no, mama, dada, nini (Sydney), hey, here, five (for high give), a boo (Bella boo), nigh night, tee-a-doo (peek-a-boo), here, ya, uh oh, baba, caca and up If we say "Arabella Lu!" she'll look at us and shake her head, because she know she's doing something wrong. When she gets tired she pulls her own hair She's in love with her blanket. She won't go to bed without it, but she's a hot baby so she can't have it in her, and has to sleep in her diaper. If I put her in pjs she'll wake up screaming in the middle of the night until I take them She is so attached to Syd, and a lot of times wants her when she is upset. She's so lucky to have such a good big sister who is just as attached to her :) She is still tiny. She's 19 lbs, and is barely in 6-9 month size clothes. ......I think that's about all for now. Happy 1st Birthday princess!!!
