{starting fresh}

This summer is almost over and I havent mentioned the coolest thing so far....May 21 we added another member to the Hamrick bunch....Piper June.

She's as sweet as can be...already a lot more calm that P ever was. Shes a snuggle bug too!!! She already seems so different than her sister!! Hard to imagine since she is only 12 weeks old. It's also hard to imagine that she is already 12 weeks old!!! OMG! She's our last...so Ive been trying to keep her baby-ish. Which is hard...since she is growing and huge! She's already in the 100th percentile for her length and that will remind us that at one point in her life she was concidered long!! Im sure that will change;)

P loves her to peices....and I will record and record the way she is with her because although its sometimes too much its super cute and sweet and Im sure one day they wont be so into eachother;)

P's personality is growing by the days....I mean seriously I've never met a 3 year old with such sass, attitude, and opinions on anything and EVERYTHING. I have to tell her "check your self P" and she knows that means....not here and not now. It sometimes is just a little much....like when she corrects a stranger... and tells them their rude....or tells them to chew with their mouths closed... I mean sometimes she's right...but she's 3 and needs to learn to respect others. So were working on that this year. I wont dull her sparkle...cause its my most favorite thing about her.....its....her!!!

I decided this last week that I will take off work for the next few years and just be a mama. Mark has wanted this for over 2 years ish....and I finally agreed. P starts preschool this year....and I want to enjoy her as much as I can before she start kindergarten which isnt really that far away! And Piper is such a love bug that I just can't leave her:( I want to be with her and enjoy her as much and more than I did with P. And how lucky I feel that I am able to do that.

I will for sure miss working since it's not like work at all. But luckily since I loved my clients and their all friends..so Im not too bummed. I mean who would be bummed that they get to stay home with their girls?!?!

Im excited.... to write more about these two girls of mine...who I adore....and record things i want to remember about them....even if it's interupted writing because I have to feed the baby...or wipe P's butt....it's real and it's us.

Why I left

{a lot has happened}

Lets start by explaining why I quit blogging. I read a lot of blogs! I mean a lot. I realized that people arent really who they seem to be...on their blog. Its like they write things about how they want you to think they are...and are from from the person they portray on their blog. I do NOT want to do that. Ive always been myself...take it or leave it...and im all about actions speaking louder than words.

I realized last night after someone mentioned an old blog post that I miss writing to P....she is only getting more funny and I still want to remember these things. I want to remember that her "thing" is wearing headbands. She wears one every single day...it never matches...and it goes to bed with her. I want to remember that I let her dress her self no matter how many strange looks she gets...because she is a ball of personality and I dont want to dull her shine;) or her style as she calls it.

I want to remember when I brought Piper home from the hospital...and how shocked I was that Peyton wasn't a jelly belly...that she was sooo excited and sweet and loving. I want to remember that P calls her sister "sugar" or "sugs"for short....how when Piper cries she tries to calm her by screaming over and over "piper the junza" "piper the junza". Sooo many things that go on daily with two little girls...I want to write to remember.

I missed it and I LOVED reading back and laughing at things I had already forgotten about P.

So this isn't for anyone...but me.
