Letters to Charlotte: 15 Months
Dear Charlotte, Happy Easter! Today you are 15 months old, and we spent the long weekend at the ranch with Daddy, Grayson, Grammie, and Aunt Becc. We had so much fun! We got you a red wagon as your Easter present, and put it to good use rolling you all over. The biggest excitement around…
My Job
According to what I’ve seen in my facebook newsfeed the past two days, the opinion I’m about to confess is probably going to be somewhat unpopular. When I watched that “Hardest Job in the World” fake interview video yesterday, which I saw posted probably 10 times, my first reaction was ANNOYED. I’m annoyed because the…
Highlights of Our Week
1. While Grayson was at school on Tuesday, Charlotte and I went to the zoo with our good friends! Charlotte wasn’t as taken with the animals as I thought she would be, but she loved riding in the wagon and eating snacks. And we had a great lunch at Chick-Fil-A afterwards. Fun day! 2. We rarely…
I Love Feeling Normal
I’m sharing Grayson’s story tomorrow with my MOPS group and I’ve been writing out my “speech” all day, chunks at a time. I’ve written the story of the past 3 1/2 years a good amount of times, but each time I do, it’s emotionally draining and difficult to compress so many experiences and uncertainty into…
Sunday Night and Monday Fun
I have been so bad lately about posting on my blog. I miss it. I just don’t really have anything profound to say these days, and the days are flying by, one right after the other. Grayson had a really, really good week last week: he was back to school and his routine, and he…
Three and a Half
Dear Grayson, Yesterday, you turned three and a half. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we spent the afternoon outside. You were tired, but seemed to enjoy it. I struggle with words to write to you, because there is so much to say, yet really not much at all. The two things that keep…
Letters to Charlotte: 14 Months
Dear Charlotte, My sweet, sassy little girl- today you are 14 months old and it is the first day of spring! It’s a beautiful day today and I hope we have many more of these to come so we can start having fun outside! Every day, I marvel at the little person you are becoming,…
Charlotte's Singing Debut
The other day I was over at my friend’s house and her little boy was singing “The B-I-B-L-E”. I laughed and told her that Charlotte had been babbling and that it sounded just like that song, but I didn’t really think anything of it. But then my friend told me they sing the song a…
Spring Break
Grayson is on Spring Break this week. He was in the hospital half of last week (while school was still in session) and Ryan was on break last week as well. We time things really well in this family, obviously. Anyway, is it really only Tuesday? Because this Spring “Break” feels exactly the opposite of a…
Same Thoughts, Different Day
Grayson will be 3 1/2 in just a few days. It’s hard for me to process this, and not just because he’s getting so old (he’s getting so old!), but because of how drastically different 3 1/2 year old Grayson is from 2 1/2 year old Grayson. This was Grayson just a year ago, and…
