Dec Daily :: Day 3

"If you think our hands are full, you should see our hearts."

If you know us, you know we love our weekends.

FAMILY TIME. DADDY TIME.

Lucca knows what the weekends mean. She reminds us over and over again on Saturdays & Sundays that Daddy has "no work today!" and doesn't let him out of her sight. In the history of daddy/daughter relationships, I'd be pretty amazed if such a relationship as this ever existed. It's pretty special. And to watch the relationship between my dudes forming as well, just melts this proud mama's heart.

I lovely love my family.

Yes, this says Sunday. Yes, today is Saturday. Yes, I'm losing my mind.

It's been confirmed, I am so not a scrapbooker.

A day without Lucca

I LOVE being a stay at home mommy. Period. I wish every mother could do it. My mom always tells me "these are the years you will never get back" and it's so true.

However, being a stay at home mom leaves very little time for moments alone. Especially with the type of hours my husband works! So today was quite a treat...I went to a baby shower a couple hours away, meaning I spent 9 hours without Lucca today. FREEDOM!! I got dressed up, DID MY HAIR (and makeup!!!), wore heels, put on my jewelry that I never ever wear with Lucca, and cranked up the music as soon as I got in the car. What a treat. Of course, I missed her within 10 minutes of leaving, but I knew she would have a fun day with her Daddy.

As I was driving back home tonight, I could hardly wait to walk up our front stairs and see my baby! That must be how my husband feels every day coming home from work. I WAS SO EXCITED. And Lucca gave me just the perfect little reaction I wanted....came running to me saying "Mama!" "Mama!" and jumped into my arms. It didn't even matter to me that she was dressed totally mismatched, wearing a 6-9 month (!) skirt with a yellow (unbuttoned) onesie at 14 months old and eating pizza with her Dad ;) He did good!

Thanks babe! Sometimes moms just need a day.
