As many times as I've gone an extended amount of time without writing a blog post, I believe I've broken a record this time. Over a year since I've written a single thing to publish! In my mind, I'm writing nonstop, especially lately. Life has held so very many changes over the past 14 months that there's no way I could adequately write all about them in a single post. I truly want to get back into blogging so I'm going to gloss over the highlights of everything that has gone on and sincerely try my best to start regularly - or somewhat regularly - posting again.
August of 2020 we finally moved into our forever home! It took close to a year to build and as frustrating as it was to wait, driving back and forth with a baby so many times in the heat of summer, it was so very worth it!

In November my sister had her little girl, Edith Grace. Willa loves her baby cousin so much, and we live closer to them now so it's been so fun watching these two little girls together.
December 21, 2020, Willa Marie turned one. She's our little best friend and this day was such a happy, emotional, grateful, fun celebration of her life. She's such a sweetheart, almost always genuinely happy and eager to please. I could go on and on about her little personality but I'll save that for a later post!
In December we also finally shared the news that I was 14 weeks along with baby #2! This is something else that I want to write more about, as it was completely unplanned, took me a few months to actually believe, and generally just threw me for a complete loop.

| 26 weeks along, February 2021 |
February 23 Brandon and I celebrated 3 years of marriage. We were iced in our house for a little over a week in February and there was no going out anywhere! We still celebrated at home though and eventually had our annual pictures taken.
And then most recently, on June 28, 2021, Harper Gayle joined our family! She weighed 8lb. 5oz., and was 22 inches long. I'm excited to write her birth story soon, but she's been the sweetest little addition and Willa absolutely loves her.
My heart is full, and I am excited to write more and share more hopefully soon. I have so many pictures that I just haven't had time to upload! For now though, Willa has woken up from her nap and supper needs to be started. My life has certainly held many changes since I wrote my first post on here and I am so grateful for each and every one!
