Visitors
Since Josie's birth, we have had soooo many wonderful family and friends come into town to see her.
- Birth, Mimi (Grandma Sonneman) was in town
- 5 weeks old Erin was in town for a family trips and she stayed with us for 2 nights. Josie had colic then so it was the quietest time to meet her, but Erin had a good time
- 8 weeks old, Teresa came into town to meet Josie. We went to the pool, and Teresa came over to our house to see Josie's room...she stayed the Jaime.
- 9 weeks old, Josie met Aunt Karen (Great Aunt, yes..but that sounds old and Aunt Karen isn't old , so she is remaining Aunt Karen) Cousins Kristi and Kelsey. This was the girls weekend in Aspen.
- 10 weeks old Hunter came all the way from Virginia to meet Josie. It was a quick trip for Hunter, thanks to the airlines, but we did manage some pool time.
- 11 weeks, Kelly's dear friend Kate was in town and of course got to meet Josie, we shopped and dined
- 13 weeks Amber came for a long weekend. It was awesome, we just hung out, shopped and got some QT with Amber
- 17 weeks Aunt Lisa came from Fargo. It was so good to see her again. We hadn't seen her since we were in Fargo when Josie was 3 weeks old. We shopped and went to Josie's first Broncos game.

I love...
I've hardly said a word about being a mom, because what you all really want are pictures. Now that I am nearly caught up, a few words...
It is truly the most amazing experience. Getting married is a big step in life and wonderful itself, but becoming a parent to this tiny little being is indescribable. She is our whole world and it's amazing to watch the changes she makes on a daily basis. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, and it’s so much better than I ever imagined! It makes me appreciate my mom in different ways than before and I only hope to be as wonderful of a mom as she is.
I love…
…that she licks her lips and stretches like that was the best meal of her life, every time she eats
…when she smiles
…that a pacifier soothes her
…mornings, she is so excited to get up for the day
…the fake cough to get my attention
…that I can expect a blowout almost every day
…how close she is to a giggle
…that she prefers to fall asleep in my arms and then move to her crib
…breastfeeding, it’s such an intimate experience
…how she sleeps, hands on her head and arms out, like she’s in a lounge chair
…to watch her learn
…that she still curls up, frog legs and all, when she is really tired
…being a mom
…that I now understand the feeling when people say, “you never knew you could love someone so much”
…her smell
…that she got my eyelashes, every girl wants long eyelashes
…how perfect she is
…that she makes my love for Kyle stronger
…most of all, that she is here with us and we get to love on her forever

Aspen Girl's trip
For years, my mom and her sister have been trying to do a girls trip with their daughters..Kel, me and Kristi and Kelsey. It finally happened, last minute and that is probably the only way it happened. We lounged, shopped, walked the Rio Grande trail and of course dined! Kristi and Kelsey got to meet Josie..we had a great time!

| Ready for my first trip to Aspen! |

| She was so tired after she slept the entire 3.5 hour drive...must be the mountain air |
