Welcome to the World of Blogging

Well, this is my first entry into the blogging world.  I've had this blog for a few weeks now, and have looked at it's blank pages with more than a little trepidation.  However, after reading a few blogs from friends and my mom, I have decided to finally 'get my feet wet,' and write something!  So here's a little bit about me...

I have been married to my husband for a little over a year now.  We are still in our 'honeymoon' period, and I love him dearly.  Steve is such a strong and stable man.  If I had to describe his personality in a word picture, I'd say he is like a tree.  He is well rooted and strong, and provides for me comfort, love and peace.  This isn't to say that he is boring.  Quite the contrary!  I find him funny, sweet and interesting as well.  As for me, I am more like a bird in that tree, always wanting to try new things and explore the world around me.  While I am definitely more flighty than my husband, I need that tree.  In that way, I believe we are perfectly suited to each other.  He keeps me grounded, and I help him become more adventurous.

We also have a three month old daughter named Elysia.  She is truly my pride and my joy, and I adore her.  When she wakes up in the morning she greets me with a smile, and I love spending my days with her.  The surprise and delight visible in her eyes when she learns something new is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.  A few weeks ago she rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time.  She looked so shocked and pleased with herself!  Elysia has these great big blue eyes, a perfect litte rose-bud mouth, and an adorable dimpled chin just like her daddy.  The only thing we have yet to determine is the colour of her hair!  Blonde, red, brown...her colour really depends on who she is sitting with or the lighting in the room.  One of my girlfriends said she is like a chamelion, changing colours to suit her environment.  I have to admit, my baby is clever!
