14 Years

My mom kept the kids (except Abby) overnight so Korey and I could have a date for our anniversary. We went to dinner, a movie, then had coffee. We also had a chance to sleep late the next morning....woo hoo!! It's so wonderful that after 14 years and 4 kids, we still enjoy eachother's company. We can still talk and laugh together. I love this man and am truly enjoying sharing my life with him.
On a side-note, Josey gave me the best compliment before Korey and I left. I came out of my room after getting ready. Josey looked at me and said (quite emotionally), "WOW MOM! You look beautiful."
It was such a genuine compliment. It absolutely melted my heart.

First Smile

So, we are beginning our last of the firsts (if that makes any sense).
Abigail is the last Lawson baby, so her firsts will be the last firsts we celebrate.
It's bittersweet, but I am enjoying it as much as I can.
Her first real smile in response to someone smiling at her was on May 28th. We were at a friend's house for a memorial day party. I looked at her and she gave me the biggest grin in response. It was wonderful. She's been super smily since then. Looks like we have quite a happy baby on our hands :-)
