A Little About Humburg House of Girls...

I am a United States Navy Wife, Mom to 2 girls Adleigh (5 yrs) and Ashlee (2yrs end of this month). I am a SAHM with a passion for photography, cake decorating, and creating crafty things. I love my life........ even when things get a little hectic!

Here we go....

    So, today I confirmed my first photo shoot for one of my friends who just had a beautiful baby boy on Feb. 22, 2011. Her husband is currently deployed, and she is home holding down the fort with her two beautiful children Kassidy and Kaleb. I am so excited to do some photos of the kids tomorrow. I haven't had to do it, but I am sure it was hard to deliver Kaleb without the love of her life at her side. L, I am so proud of you!!! Not many women have that kind of strength. I am very blessed to get to help you celebrate your little man's arrival!

   
     On another note, those of you who are following Ashlee's surgery for tubes she is getting them in Monday, March 14th, 2011 at 7:15am EST. I am very hopeful that this will help my baby hear better!

Life is Good!!

Well, so far my day today has consisted of putting on shoes, putting them back on, searching for a name badge (Adleigh's for the bus), searching for good prices on my Air Optix for Astigmatism contacts as I need new ones for the year, and running Adleigh to the bus in the nasty rain (couldn't find the umbrella).Generally speaking, when I couldn't find the unbrella before I would jump in the car and park it at the corner so that Adleigh and I could cross the street and she could get on the bus. This I realize was the lazy way out to some but with the baby and her ears generally the rain early in the moring on missing umbrella days had an ear infection so we would drive. However, currently the 2001 Chevy Blazer I have is not working as the love of my life tore it apart to fix it last weekend and has not had a chance to get it put all back together.



      I have had to laugh at Ashlee now that her ear infection is cleared up again she is even more talkative. Last night she was so concerned with her Adleigh eating supper that she kept hollering at her "Alee e-e-eat!" it was too cute! She is becoming more "family" concerned every day and that in definately something I missed seeing when Adleigh was this age because I was working what seemed like all the time. I sure do love being home with the girls. Don't get me wrong I miss working outside of the house some days but not enough to give up watching my girls grow. I have to admit I am a pretty lucky mommy to get to watch my beautiful girls grow up.


    On another note, I bought me another SLR camera last night and I am very excited to get it in and start playing around with it! For those of you camera people I bought a Canon Rebel T2i with 4 different lenses and a bunch of other accessories all brand new!! I am soo excited! I can then start using it instead of my Sony A230 which is ok but I need more lenses for it and the camera doesn't do quite all of the things that I would like it to do. Now all is left is to purchase Photoshop CS4 or CS5. I have used CS4 in the past and really liked it however CS5 has an option to readjust parts of the photo that just don't quite look natual like that arm in a funny position. Oh, almost forgot probably should get a newer desktop too.

Oh, the joys....

Hi, well we (I) am trying to potty train Ashlee even more now than ever,but today it seems like she is working hard to say, "No way Mommy, I'm staying in pull-ups!" I have used pull-ups that don't work, and am currently trying to use cotton training pants which means more laundry for me.... oh the joys of being a mommy.
 Adleigh and I had our annual eye appointment yesterday in which I was informed that my beautiful 5 year old is growing up and maturing even faster than I want her to. Why can't they just stay little forever!! Adleigh's eyes were about the same however her weaker eye did change in the prescription strength for the better!! She has 3 loose teeth and has lost one already with the permanent one already halfway in. It seems like every day that I look at her she's grown another few inches!
 As most of you reading this know I found out I was pregnant in January 2011 and on February 11,2011 I endured a pretty tough thing that our family never thought would happen I miscarried. It has been a tough few weeks since then off and on.It seems everyone I know is having babies and I just want to hold them and love them. I have found that I want another little baby even more now than I did before. Don't get me wrong I wanted that baby, but for some reason god needed it more.
 Life at the Humburg house seems a little hectic at times right now, with daddy being gone more than normal it's not uncommon for him to come home with under 30 minutes to spend with the girls before bed time at 8:30pm, Ashlee gets tubes in her ears March 14th just 10 days before my baby turns 2 (we are hopeful that this will not only help her ear infections, but help her to hear to speak more),I am trying to figure out what type of cake to make for her birthday also,and it turns out we will not be able to come home this summer as Daddy has a lot of in and out work to do so we will stay here and hold down the fort.
