Since moving here to Memphis, we've had two robberies in our apartment complex. We were told about the first one, an armed robbery, by a note stuck on our door by the management. The second robbery happened at 10 o'clock in the morning (that's right, 10 a.m.!!) and my friend witnessed it. She was the one to notify the police. CRAZY.
I have a wonderful husband. He takes Addie when he comes home to give me a break, changes diapers, and fixes me dinner on Sundays. He has gorgeous eyes (check out the picture below) and is so hilarious. You ought to see him dance. I am so blessed to be married to such a great man. BEAUTIFUL.
I am the mother of a soon-to-be 4 month old. CRAZY.
Even though I want to pull my hair out at times, especially when Addie cries and cries for no reason whatsoever, her smiles make it all worth it. I'm scared of the responsibility of teaching her right from wrong, to serve others, to make good friends, and to make good decisions, but I know that the Lord will bless me when the time comes as long as I strive to be the best mother I can be. Motherhood is the most rewarding role a woman can fulfill. I truly believe that. BEAUTIFUL.
We are in debt up to our ears because of school and don't have any family close by, but these trials are making our family stronger. This whole experience, being a young family in the MidSouth, is crazy/beautiful. (See? Now I've turned that stupid, stupid title into something worthwhile!)
I realize this post is pretty cheesy, but I've just been so grateful lately to have the wonderful life I have and am so thankful to Heavenly Father for my blessings. Yay for us!!

That is the most crazy/beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I like the last pic of maddie. She looks like a little ewok princess. Only without the fur and minus the ewok.
Okay so I created a blog as well :)

Hey, this is Shannon Scoresby. Cute post!! Oh my goodness, what's up with all these robberies!? (Well, we're in Memphis, that probably has something to do with it...) Ps. Watch out for some shady folks knocking on your door claiming to sell "jewelry." We and a few others called security on them last night. They told us they were going to step it up and patrol more often. (Good answer guys!:)
I never saw that movie, but I remember when it came out. But you're getting to the fun part with her, right? Starting on food, holding up her own head, rolling over... by Christmas she could be scooting around and I'll be the one with a baby that only knows how to cry!! You're all going to looove me and Will when we're all trying to sleep.
dats nice!
