Celebrate the little victories…quietly.

Convo 1 H – Can Wead and Lucy come on a bike wide with us? Me – Yeah I just talked to Uncle Chris and they’re coming. H – (under her breath with fist pump) Yessss! Convo 2 H – Daddy, look what I got at chuwch…Smawties…(long pause as she starts to open them)…Can […]

A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

After what can only be explained as one of the most monumental weekends in recent memory, it appears as if my worst fears are coming true. The girls are growing up way too fast and I’m not sure if I can stop it. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the pic above […]

5 years ago today…well…tomorrow.

On this day 5 years ago, after what seemed like an eternity on bed rest in the hospital, Tracey felt a “kick” that was actually the jumpstart to an evening, that seemed to go by in a flash and leave us with two of the most amazing gifts we’ve ever gotten in our lives. While […]

Gearing up for Birthday Month.

The girls have been pumped about their birthday going on 3 months now. I’m pretty sure they’ve asked every day about their birthday since Christmas was over.
