Our date night

Last night Daniel and I finally went out to see a movie. I say finally because we havent been to a movie theatre together, to see a movie in probably 2 years! We dropped Landon off at my mom and dad's house and were on our way. My sister Joy still hadn't met Landon yet because she had been sick with pneumonia, so since she is now better and had been in the area for testing for her career she dropped by to see Landon while we were out to see the movie. When Daniel and I had arrived after we had a quick dinner, we walked in and she was walking around holding Landon. Of course, Landon was in peaceful sleep and she was loving it. I guess while we were gone he had been making faces at her and she immediately fell in love with him. But who couldnt?!
After we left the tension between Daniel and I really broke the whole way home. When we got home, as I was holding Landon I broke down and started crying. I have had a lot weighing down on my mind lately and with the lack of sleep...it's just not a good combination. Landon was sleeping near my neck and somehow my crying didnt even wake him up. Daniel came in and I told him what was wrong. I told him that I was sad that we had been fighting and that I didnt want Landon to be exposed to that. Yeah, he may have been sleeping but I just dont want him exposed to that, in any way. Daniel and I hardly ever had arguments when I was pregnant with Landon and I believe that that is one of the reasons why Landon is such a good baby. My loving husband wiped a tear away and understood where I was coming from. Like he always does, he comforted me and let me know that everything was going to be ok and that one of the reasons we both have been the way we have been is from our lack of sleep (I know it's me more than him with the irritability though). Daniel took over Landon and I was able to go take a nap. My naps seem to always help and Daniel is always ready to help me with whatever I need. He has been such a good daddy and husband to me in this process, even though I probably dont always make it the easiest.
God has given me a wonderful family and I am truly blessed. I am extremely blessed with how everything turned out. One year ago my life was completely different and God allowed for things to turn around and for Daniel and my heart to find each other again...I can't tell you how thankful I am for that. Now I hold Daniel's little "mini me" in my arms and am so lucky to be his mother. I always dreamed of having a little baby boy and here he is. I couldn't ask for a better baby. With everything else that happened leading up to this we find that the term "everything happens for a reason" to be very true. I am so grateful!

***More pictures to come...I have been slacking a little bit but I have some new ones that are pretty cute, I just have to get around to posting them up.
