My Heart is full...

Hello Again!
I am finally posting my first real post of the Duff Dialogue. I am going to start with my most recent events and go backwards and hopefully catch up real soon. I don't feel too bad not posting wedding pictures yet, because some are in the header. Right....RIGHT? :)
I just got back this week from Atlanta visiting these wonderful people...

My heart is full. They say emotion overcomes you when you hold your own children for the first time, but I think the same goes for your sister's children. I also felt this way when I held these children for the first time. When I held my nephew I just wanted to cry because he was absolutely perfect.

Coleman James Burton was born on January 5, 2010 and he is perfect. Lindsey did so well! I am so glad my Mom was able to be there with her and her husband Matt is such a great support. I enjoyed being at there house for 3 days and getting to remember what it's like to take care of a newborn again! Whew! I think I will wait a while before I begin that adventure again. :) I never imagined I would be this far away from Lindsey when we grew up. It has been hard. We don't talk about it much because it is a downer to talk about. I am so proud of Matt and his fantastic job at Chick-fil-a, but I miss her. I know if they were here I would get to see them so much more. Even so, we plan to visit a lot and now have Skype so that we can keep in touch even better! I love you sweet Burton family!

SO this is my second blog to try and I hope to be even better this time around! We are doing well adjusting to our new life as the Duff family. Married life with Brad is just wonderful. He is truly my best friend! I look forward to updating you with all of our new adventures. But don't worry JUST US GIRLS will stay up for my memory's sake in case you want to revisit sweet Anna Claire's antics!

And one more thing...thanks to Megan, my new blog is beautiful! Thank you Megan you are wonderful. She even did this when she was days away from giving birth. Isn't she talented?
Until next time...

I love your new blog design! And, thanks for the shout out to my baby boys! You are the sweetest. I just love you to pieces. You know I love Anna Claire like she is my own too. I have cried tears (seriously) over every picture I have seen of Baby Cole. He is an angel. I can't wait to read all about your adventures with Brad, Anna Claire, and Shelby. You make a beautiful family!
