Well, we are definitely heading into the toddler years with our tantrum skills on point. It's kind of sad to see him freaking out, but it's also kind of funny, because he's crying over the most ridiculous things. He cries when he can't go outside.

Lessons from the first year: marriage.
Having a child of my own was pretty eye-opening. I feel like I learned a lot, but haven't really taken the time to reflect much on it. So I'm going to take the time. Here are a few things I learned about marriage in our first year as parents: We had to depend on each… Continue reading Lessons from the first year: marriage.

I love food, Spencer loves food, why not do a post about food? Here are Spen's favorite foods at 15 months old. Scrambled eggs. Lord help me if I don't make his eggs in the morning.

Or going to watch UFC fights, or taking Spencer… Continue reading This is real romance (to me).

My Valentines.
I'm a lucky woman to have not one, but two guys who have my whole heart (just in different ways, obviously). We went out to dinner for early Valentine's Day tonight, because I want to cook dinner and stay in on Tuesday. It was just a fun evening as a family, and some much needed… Continue reading My Valentines.
My wish(es) for you.
For you, my sweet son, I wish so many things. Here are just a few. 1) That you never, ever doubt our love for you or God's love for you. No matter what. 2) A childhood (and adolescence) free of overwhelming schedules and overuse of technology. You only get to be a kid once, and… Continue reading My wish(es) for you.
