Together Herron

I can't wait for you to make these cookies! I HAD to share this recipe! While I was laboring in the hospital, my friend Kelsey brought me some of these cookies! There was a cookie swap at the church the day I went into labor, so obviously I missed it. It was like missing trick-or-treating for me; not only do we eat the cookies, we give some away to special ladies. So sad! Your church should do one of these! Here's a link to a past cookie swap just in case you need ideas to spread the love in your community! If you know anything about me and my four sisters... (this is the five of us minus the girl on the bottom right) ... one thing we all have in common is that we are obsessed with chocolate mint!

we caught these cute pictures on the quilt Granna made for you with the stickers she gave us!  Baby, you are amazing. We have had so much fun learning all about you over the past month!

I can't imagine how BIG that love is. Sometimes I just look at you and I've overcome with emotion because you are so precious and I don't want to ever do anything to harm you. I know we'll make mistakes and enjoy each day learning from the day before. You are such a blessing!   Here's what you looked like the day you were born... We can't believe how big you are getting! Here's what your cry face looks like! You hardly ever cry for more than five minutes and it's usually after I used that mean old booger sucker on you.
