My Now.

I look at these pictures and shake my head. I can't believe this is all mine.

There are no words what this family picture represents to me.  The years of wondering if we would ever be parents, the losses, the stress it put on us individually and as a couple....I've said it before and I will say it again, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

But that was than, and this is now.

They are my now.

My now is pretty damn miraculous & awesome.

Syd: I want to wear jeans

Me: Are you sure? They are not as comfortable as shorts and you have never liked wearing them before

Syd: Maaamaaa, I want the jeans

So I put them on her, and which is followed with

Syd: Why did you put these on me? I can't sit down! I don't like them.

Welcome to my life with a 2.5 year old Diva.

Sunday Night Dinner

We keep finding ourselves with Auntie Nik, Jackey Boy & Coopey on Sunday evenings. Syd adores her cousins if you can't tell by the mauling going on in this picture.

I absolutely love that she (and Miller) are growing up right around the corner from their cousins. Last night I saw Jack walk over to Miller and get down on his knees to lean in to talk to him and give him a big smile- melts my heart!

It just continues to reinforce the good decisions we have made about moving down here!

5 Months of Miller

This son of ours...amazing.

First, he is the sweetest little guy ever. All you have to do is make eye contact and he grins from ear to ear. He rarely cries, he just hangs out and smiles! All I ever say is " You are so sweet"...I hope he stays this way forever and ever.

He rolls over, in fact he rolls all over the place. He screeches and screams at the top of his lungs as his way of talking...no quiet cooing from this kid. He is busy and "twitches" all over the place when you hold him, so much in fact, Daddy calls him "Twitch".

He grins every time he sees his big Sissy and puts up with hugs, kisses and the occasional rough smothering of his entire body.

He loves his Daddy somethin' fierce and reserves some pretty big grins for him.

I didn't know this little guy was part of our plan, but now I can't imagine my life without him.

6 Years

6 years ago on August 9th we started our married life together.  We have fought really hard to get where we are today and I am so happy with the life we have built.  

We celebrated with a fun dinner out at The Rabbit Hole in Colorado Springs. Beautiful night, some yummy cocktails and a delicious dinner.

I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us.

Love you, Babe!

My loves

How did I get so lucky to call these two mine? They melt my heart. I can't tell you how many times I've just stared at these picture. Love.

Good Decisions

Moving to Colorado Springs was an adjustment and a bit intimidating. New house, new school, new environment...all things new.

But, I have to say, we absolutely made the right decision and its affirmed almost every day.

A text to Grandma to invite her to Concert in the Park...and she only has to drive 8 miles to get to us!

Now, if we can just get the Cecchini's to move down here, it will all be perfect!
