Some Pics

Mommy thought it would be cute to take picutres of me in my pretty purple diaper with a ribbon in my hair the day I turned 3 weeks old. As you can see I wasn't very happy about it. I really wanted a nap. I fell asleep really soon after that second picuture.

This is my favorite thing in the evenings...the bink! I am very peaceful as long as I can suck on it.

. Remember I said I was going to meet my other cousins...here I am with them. They were so proud to hold me and meet me for the first time.

Lots to do...

There is alot to do as a new mom. I just keep thinking that more gets added to the "to-do" list everyday and everyday there are less checkmarks next to each "to-do". Funny how that works out. And since I am a very task oriented person this mommy relationship thing takes effort. I love every minute of that time it takes to say, stop...this is time I can take to love my daughter. But effort is definately the key to that. That's all for today.

An Amazing Transition

Here I find myself at 11:30 pm on Sunday night, kicking myself for not going to bed at 10pm like I was supposed to. I have a long day tomorrow, replacing Mackenzie's battery before work at the bank, and then off to Il Vicino tomorrow evening. Why am I not in bed yet, you ask? I've spent most of the day staring at this...

It just doesn't seem fair does it? She consumes my attention. I was told this would happen, but I didn't know why it would happen. To be quite honest, I have no idea why it still happens. I'm not in awe of her, I'm not always entertained, I think I'm just in shock. It's settling in very slowly for me. Since there isn't a lot of interaction on her part yet, it's hard to feel like I'm getting any quality time with her, but I love every second of it. I'm falling in love all over again. And watching Mackenzie be a mom is pretty cool too. She is way more natural at this than I am.

Yes, I'm saying that I'm not a very good mother. It's really hard to be a mother. She has a lot to do, and I don't know how she's getting it all done. Anyhow, I have two amazing girls in my home. God has blessed this time beyond what I deserve or selfishly expected. I have a lot more transitioning to do, but is life just one big transition into the presence of God? Ya, more thoughts on that later. GOODNIGHT!!

Annalise Cadence Williamson

The first story from Parkwood Lane is the birthday of Annalise. Born June 25, 2007, weighing 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This is a picture of me with my cousins Naomi and Stella. I am excited to play with them, mommy says they are really fun girls. Next week I am going to meet my other cousins Elena and Kai.

Daddy's chest is my favorite place to relax and sleep. I'm sorta smiling in this picture too. Daddy calls me sunshine. I like that.

I am one week old in this picture. I am wearing my prettiest outfit. I am so tiny that not many of my clothes fit yet. I don't mind though, I will get big soon enough.

I am almost 2 weeks old and so far am a very laid back baby. I spend most of my time sleeping. Daddy and mommy are adjusting to having a beautiful distraction around 24/7. They are loving it.
