Just a quick hello

I think I have written this first blog post a million times in my head.
I've fallen completely in love with the blogs I have randomly found throughout my days and I always think, "I could do that... I WANT to do that".  But I never actually sit down and do it.  I'm a huge procrastinator by nature so the fact that I'm actually typing this is pretty shocking to me. 
Let me see, what can I tell you about me...  I'm a mom.  Its my number one most important job in the world.  I'm a stay at home mom to two beautiful children that I love more then I ever thought possible. 

My son Rowen is 5 and the perfect mini me.  My husband, Chris, says that my childhood pictures look like Rowen in a wig.  He crawls in bed with me first thing in the morning and cuddles.  He tells me that he just wants to cuddle a little before he gets ready for school and my heart just soars.  I know that someday he won't want to love on his mommy anymore so I'm trying to squeeze in as much of this time as I possibly can. 
Our newest arrival is Miss Phoebe Arabella.  She just turned 6 months old and I can't believe how fast the time has flown by.  She is the exact opposite of her brother.  Dark hair and blue eyes and so laid back.  She never cries and is always smiling.  The only things they have in common is how much they love to cuddle and their intense love for each other.  I watch her watch him.  You know she is going to follow him all over the place, once she learns how to crawl that is. 
I never thought I would be a stay at home mama.  I spent a fortune getting my education and figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I never, not once, said I wanted to stay home with my kids.  But it is what works for us and I wouldn't change it for the world.  It has grown on me and I feel very blessed that I'm able to do it. 
So I've got that dreaded "first post" out of the way.  Now maybe I won't feel so pressured to have the perfect entry every time I get on the computer and can just write.  I look forward to talking to you.
