Traditions

I love traditions!

These are where memories are made.

Tonight as we decorated our Easter Eggs, I watched my two boys and husband have fun. I realized I am behind the one behind the scenes, but it allows me the chance to sit back and watch. Take it all in and get the pictures.

I am the keeper of the memories.

I would not trade this for the world! We are blessed that we get to do these activities!

Worried

After a year of Quentin being sick monthly and getting nowhere with the doctor, we went to a new doctor. Immediately, the Dr made us feel comfortable and heard. He sat down, wrote notes asked a million questions, and just listened.

Before we left he explained his thought process and the tests he as going to run. Then answered any new questions we had. The biggest thing was he made it clear he was going to get to the bottom of this.

We walked out of the office with a list of tests to be ran, a timeline for results and hopefully the answers.

It's hard to say....

There are times when something needs to say, but it is too difficult to say. As time has gone words have been formulating in my mind and heart for minutes, hours, days, months, years.

There was never the right time to say those words.

There was never the place to say those words.

There was never the courage to say those words.

Once the time comes around, it has to be said.

Where did I find the courage, strength, motivation to share those words?

That is when the pit in my stomach forms and takes the place of those words that were so hard to say.

My Boys

     From day one my boys were totally different

Q's delivery was long and hard; K was here before we knew it

Q was a health baby; K had several illnesses and complications in the first 3 months of his life

Q came out with very little red hair; K had a ton of dark hair

Q slept through the night right away; K took 19 months to sleep through the night

Q took 12 months to walk; K was off an running in 10 months

Q talks our ear off; K is still quiet (22 months)

Q is a sweet loveable baby; K is Mr.Independent

Q is a picky eater; K will eat about anything

Quentin at 6 months

Keagan at 6 months

I love both of their personalities no matter how different they are.

I can't wait to see who they grow up to be!

Five Reasons I Fell In Love With My Husband

After being married for nearly ten years, it is important to remember how we got where we are.


1. Your crazy humor: Some how you had the ability to make me laugh when things got rough

2. Your ability to make me feel at home: When my parents moved, when I was in college, I felt I didn't have a "home" anymore. You made sure I had a place to call "home"

3. You always challenge me to see the world differently: You have a different view of the world.

4. You are honest even if I don't want to hear it: You tell me how it is even when it is hard to see.

5. You want to do everything together: It is strange to go grocery shopping with you.  We do the most mundane things together.


I love you!
