I am overjoyed with our new little girl. I am so grateful that I am able to spend every day with her so we can learn about each other.  Trust me...motherhood, at least in this home, is a two way street.  When people ask how I'm doing, my response is usually, "we're figuring each other out", because that really is the case.  Melanie has her own personality and even at the young age of 5 weeks, it is already very clear.  Motherhood is something I have always taken very seriously.  The choice to have our little girl was made out of a true desire to learn and grow as a family in an effort to return to our Heavenly Father proving that we worked hard to become the best we could be.  I am blessed to have the privilege to raise this little one with Tyler.

On a lighter note, I have become an expert at multi-tasking, using only one hand for everything (you'd be suprised), and perfectly timing meals, showers, and housework during short nap times.  I'm still figuring out how to navigate trips out into the world, but we're slowly getting there.  We're happy, healthy, and adjusting quite well to our new little family.
