Formerly known as Bella, this is my old pup. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of her. I miss her terribly but love seeing pictures of her - I know she is happier and healthier!

(she is the one on top)

Warms my heart.

I stole this picture from facebook and I feel a little guilty. But I wanted to share it because it just warms my heart. Seeing this only confirms that I have made the right decisions. And it is so sweet. She has a new best friend for the rest of her life.






I still miss her dearly and I am still not entirely adjusted to not having a dog. I miss her most when it is bedtime because she was SO sweet. She loved to cuddle. And she would let me hold her while she was sleeping.... I slept with her like she was a stuffed animal!

Anyway... there is a little update for ya.

The New Job!

Last week I started a new nanny position with twin girls names Reese and Reagan! I am having a lot of fun with them but I am still in transition mode. I have the same type of responsibilities but it is also completely different! I am getting to know the girls and we have some fun stuff planned in the next 2 weeks! I will miss John terribly but I am also excited to do girly things! I am excited to watch the girls grow and change in the next year. They live in Wakefield so I am getting to know a different part of Raleigh! Their neighborhood is GREAT and it isn't too far of a drive for me going straight down Capital (yes, I moved but just into another townhouse in Cameron Village. Anyway, stay tuned for future posts about fun things I get to do with the twins!!!!

Another Goodbye

Just ONE WEEK EXACTLY after I said goodbye to Bella, I had to say goodbye to my little John John. Oh how I LOVE this little boy. I have already seen him twice since my job ended so I am hoping to keep it up.... I cannot say bye forever to him. He is 3 years old and I first met him when he was just 3 months! I held him and fed him as a sweet little baby and now he is 100% a little boy.... collecting sticks, saying cute phrases, sword fighting... he is complete boy. I love our bond that we share and I love seeing him do things that I taught him. I am hoping and praying those things don't fade and that I can be apart of his life as he gets older. My last day, I spent crying all day and all night. I am a little bit tired of crying SO much. I have never cried this much in my life and tears start rolling down my face as easy as a blink of an eye. I know it is healthy to cry but honestly, I have cried more in the past 3 weeks than I have in an entire2 or 3 years..... maybe more! Anyway, my job with John has ended. I will post soon about my new job. I loved being a nanny to John. I will cherish so many of our memories and times together!!!

Sweet Eleanor

I just wanted to dote on the new baby in my life, Eleanor. I just love her! Here are some more pictures from the hospital and some from a playdate today!!






I love the picture of me and Eleanor.... it looks like she is smiling! I didn't even notice that until I was uploading it just now! And the last one is of her big sis, Grace Elizabeth, giving her a kiss!!

Welcome Sweet Baby Girl!

One of my best friends gave birth to her little girl yesterday afternoon! I got to go and visit her today. I took pictures but haven't been able to upload them yet. I think this picture is just SO sweet of her. It was one that Caleb, Laura's husband, had sent with his phone right after she was born. She is so tiny, I could not believe it! She looks a lot like her sister but also very different too. She is just so sweet. I know I always say that about my friends' children but she is. She is absolutely beautiful! I couldn't get enough of her and I certainly cannot wait to see her again!

Congratulations Robinson family!! I love your sweet family of four!
