A Year

Our little son, Benjamin, turns one on Sunday! I'm not sure if I'm more shocked that a year has passed without me realizing it or that my baby boy is not a baby anymore!! I always thought time flew before, but have kids and you completely loose track of it!

I wanted more than anything with this blog to do a picture tribute to him to show how much the first year is a physical miracle of growth. The pictures below show Benjamin at birth, three months, six months and now.

Happy Birthday Benny! We're glad you are here! Life would not be as full without you!:)

The Hardest Lesson of Humanity

I know it has been awhile since I last posted and thought I would catch you up on my most current events with pictures instead of words. After all doesn't a picture speak a thousand words...? I will probably narrorate 30-40 of those thousand words for you though:)!



On Friday night we went to see The Lion King at the Buell Theatre downtown. It is an amazing sensory show that is worth experiencing at least once.




On Saturday night I had WAY too much fun at a Halloween party and like Cinderella danced until the clock struck twelve:)! Good times!





Sunday, energy level waning thin, I had the opportunity to see one of the seasons most exciting Bronco games live! By this time I was missing our kids and ready to return to my quiet life with them. Seeing others' children at the game made me want to run home and hold my own...


By Tuesday I decided that I am proof positive of the statement, "You always want what you can't have," because I was already thinking that maybe I wanted to go back to work a few days a week.

Maybe my lesson isn't learned but in the midst of my ramblings I was reminded yet again that contentment is perhaps the hardest lesson of humanity...
