First Post

It may seem like "THE" thing to do, start a blog.  I am not sure how I feel about putting all my thoughts out there for all to read.  Letting the whole world into my head.  However, I am excited to see where this might go.  It might be great to share thoughts and ideas with others.  

I hope that this blog will make people laugh and think and wonder at the amazement that is life's changes.

The Meet Cute

Image
In movie terms, a "meet cute" is when two people meet for the first time that are destined to become buddies.  (It is also when two people meet who are destined to become romantically linked.  Since this post is about cousins, we will ignore that point.)  Little Man and his cousin "Sweetie" met for the first time this past week.  It was an adorable meet cute.  Little Man knew that they were destined to be buddies.  Look at the joy on his face.  I could not catch the smile on Sweetie's face.  For the rest of the week when Little Man saw Sweetie he loved it.  Well, except for the times in the car when Sweetie was screaming.  To be fair she did not appreciate it when he was screaming either.  They are fair weather fans right now. Sweetie stole everyone's heart.  Main Man melts when he is around her.  She is one loved little girl.  I can't keep my hands off of her.  She is adorable and cute, rolled into o...

Being Real

It may seem like I am very good at being real.  So much of what I think comes out of my mouth.  I'm pretty raw, unfiltered and unedited, for good or for bad.  But the thing is I really, really like control.  I like my weeks planned out, my days planned out, my meals planned out and I don't like sudden changes of plans.  Then God gave me kids.  I also really like for people to see the side of me I want them to see.  Not the mess.  Then God gave me kids. When Laura called this morning to tell me Jordyn had a fever, my first instinct was to cancel.  It is too cold to be outside, we have no where to go.  Game over.  I love having people in my home, but when Laura called my entire house looked like this.   (It was hoe down day for the toys) Little toys were everywhere.  Choking hazards for crawlers, death traps for new walkers, safe for preschoolers but not for younger kids.  Everything in me screamed, "Cancel! ...

Sweet Girl 11 Months

Dear Sweet Girl, I don't even have words.  I know!  Your mom who always talks, does not have words.  I really can not believe you are 11 months old.  I feel like crying.  Your first year is almost over and I am not sure if I snuggled enough of you as a baby.  Did I smell enough baby smell off your head.  Did I savor enough baby innocence?  Did I take enough photos?  I have no idea.  I sure hope I did.  Here is the thing about the first year of life, I spend it so sleep deprived it is just survival and love that I aim for.  I hoped I loved more than I think I did. You, Sweet Girl, are growing and changing so rapidly.  Your Daddy said to me, "I think her personality is already shining through.  She is gonna be 30 next year cuz she is growing so fast."  I totally agree.  Since you started walking at 9 months it feels much like you skipped the baby phase and went right to be a kid.  I love it and...
