All Grown Up

Last night was the first time I have let myself admit that I am all grown up. My friends aren't even kids anymore. We had Bri, Terry, Alise, and Eric over for dinner, with their babies Jaimison and Deegan, respectively. I was trying to decide if we should eat dinner in or out, when I realized nobody would truly be able to sit at the table and eat their food, and I decided we would all camp in the family room while we ate our pizza. I then realized that pre kids, we would have been doing the following:
1. Meeting at an actual restaurant that might have a wait and might take a long time and not care.
2. Would not be watching "Enchanted" per Colton's request, but maybe a baseball game or something
3. No one would have been home before 12, instead of the house being cleared out by 8:30.

So, I am definitely a mom, with my mom friends. And, I am willing to admit I am no longer the young, care-free vixen (ha ha) I once was. Wouldn't trade it for the world...

Here I am holding Deegan....

Colton (my mama's boy... Ashley could care less, more of a daddy's girl) could not handle me holding the baby. He had to make sure he was cuddled, too.

At this point, holding this tiny peaceful bundle, I thought maybe I was ready to add another little blessing to our lives. But, the future talk of sleepless nights brought me right back to my happy sleep-filled nights.

Our party (yes, my children are wrestling).

New mom :)

And, lastly. Bri was feeding Jaimison, and Eric was feeding Deegan. Ashley quietly picked up her Mickey, wrapped him in a blanket, and pretended to feed him from her Barbie cup. Cutest thing ever. Little mommy in training :0
