The Perfect Morning

So, how did you spend your morning? Bryce and I spent it comfy and cozy by the fire. We spent some great time reading books and talking. She even ran to her room and made us each a cup of coffee in her "make make". I am beginning to think that I am so beyond spoiled being a stay at home mom, especially on days like today. Thank you for this Alan and you Lord, the one with the master plan.

Hide and Seek

It was another day for the Muller girls to be alone. But that was after we both slept in till almost 9 o'clock this morning. No, that would not be because Bryce was needing care in the middle of the night, but more that we needed our sleep. I was up all night and the few hours of rest that I received this morning, were so appreciated.

Once, Bryce and I were up and going, there was laundry to be done. While I was sorting Bryce decided the the linen closet was a great place to play hide and seek. It is so funny that some kids love to hide in the dark and others forget it, they are screaming right away. Well, Bryce is one of those children that loves to be in the dark, no matter if it is bed time or time to play hide and go seek. You go, Brycie!!!

Beauty Parlor

It has been several very long weeks for Grandma Midge and Bryce. They have missed their play time together. But, they fixed that this afternoon. Bryce and Grandma played Beauty Parlor while Alan and I did a few last minute things to show the house. Alan noticed that Bryce's door was closed, so he knocked and Bryce came running to answer it..."Hello". Too cute! Bryce and Grandma Midge had a great time trying on diffrent hair bows on each other.

We showed the house to a great little family this afternoon. Then I noticed that they drove back by an hour later. All of the sudden the phone rang and it was their realtor and she wanted to know if her clients could see the house again. Of course we said yes and as I said that, they were already in the driveway. They said that we made the cut....will they be the ones? Say your prayers hard, this market is so rough.

Daddy's Little Helper

Today, Bryce was Daddy's little helper. She helped mow the lawn with her bubble mower and was so eager to please. The weather has been so perfect outside, we have been enjoying it so much. This evening, there were even more chores to be done. Bryce had to feed the birds, she would have made Grandpa Ken proud. He better watch out, or the next time she comes for a visit she might steal his job.

We finally were able to have our Valentine's dinner last night. I must say, that it was so worth the wait. We had a cozy evening by the fire with a yummy bottle of wine and shared a absolutely devine dinner of Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. It was perfect!
Oh, this was such yummy Creme Brulee. I think that I may just have to make it again this week. Who needs a special occasion when everyday that you are in love is a special occasion.

~I hate to ask...but I need your prayers. Thanks so much for being an awesome family.

Mommy and Me Time

This morning, was the first time in a very long time that Bryce and I were alone. It was such a precious time and it was exactly what we both needed. We had such a great time, doing everything and well, just being together.
We even got the Creme Brulee made and in the oven. It is now cooling and ready for the next step. I can't wait till we get to eat it. Oh, and of course there is extra...any takers?

Happy Valentine's Day

It is always fun to look back at our first Valentine's day with Bryce. She was only 3 weeks old. A day I will never forget, I took almost 100 pictures of her that day in that outfit that her Daddy bought her. Oh, the shoes were the best.
Then we shared our 2nd Valentines' Day with Bryce and what a joy that was.

Our sweet little Valentine this year! So grown and so much love to give.

~ On another note, why are there people in this world, without a heart- especially on Valentine's Day? Yesterday, we were told by our awesome realtor James, that he was having an offer signed on our home. But, that was postponed till this morning. Well, guess what...they backed out AGAIN! Then James did an awesome job and confirmed the showing appointment for tonight. We postponed our yummy Valentine dinner and left the house. Well, they never showed. So poor James was not home for a Valentine's dinner and neither were we. The couple didn't even answer their phone the 2 times that James tried to call them. On a great note, Valentine's day is continuing in our house tomorrow. I can't wait for that Fettuccine Alfredo and shrimp. Yum yum! Oh, and of course the Creme Brulee that I will make for dessert.

The New Cookie Monster

It is so beyond hard to believe, but guess who turned into a cookie monster. Yes, Bryce! Late yesterday afternoon before we showed our house, I decided to make Oatmel cookies minus the raisins (my favorite part). But that is how Alan likes them and that is the way I decided to make them. Well, to our surprise, Bryce asked for a bite and that was the beginning of the end. She loves them and wanted more. One good thing, is this is the only sugar so far she has loved and I pray it stays that way. So for now and because it is not very often that I get a chance to make cookies, Bryce is more than welcomed to be the family cookie monster.
