Just because...

I started this blog 'just because'. I'm a homemaker...meaning I either make or break the home, literally. Trust me, you don't want to come over if I slack on cleaning for a few days! My husband is the 'breadwinner'. He's the head, I'm the shoulders. Our 5 month old daughter, Courtney, is the heart. She's our little princess, the child we never thought we would have. Right now, she's playing in her Evenflo Exersaucer, smiling and dancing around...actually, I think she may be laughing at me! Her smile makes me melt, her coos make me giggle, and when she cries, I cry. I never thought being a mother could be this difficult or wonderful. I am still sleep deprived (she doesn't sleep through the night yet), but she is worth every second of missed sleep. Anyway, I guess I'll wrap up my first blog. I'm kind of rusty at 'blogging'...I haven't done it in years, and I actually have never had an 'official' blog of my own before (just a myspace blog). I'm not going to try to be 'intellectual' or win some stupid blogging award...I'm just going to post about my life and my family. Maybe someday I can look back and show my daughter this blog and she can enjoy watching herself grow up. I know I will enjoy watching her turn into a little lady...but right now, it just seems like my little princess is growing up too fast!

Our family...Clint, Melissa and baby Courtney (June 2010)
