Time flies when you're having fun!

Dylan just had his six month check up and shots yesterday.

Yes, I set up this appointment to conflict with the time the movers were scheduled to be here, ON PURPOSE, so I’d have an excuse to get out of the house (Andy was around too)… not really the best decision ever, but that’s another story.

Anyway, I can’t believe he’ll be six months old this Friday! On one hand, I can’t believe that much time has gone by. But on the other hand, I can barely remember life before him.

As for time flying: I cannot believe that only six months ago he couldn’t even hold his head up and now he’s practically crawling! You other moms out there weren’t kidding when you told me he would grow up fast!

We are in the car today, ALL DAY. It is the first leg of our 2.5 day journey back east. We have already been in the car for over 8 hours and I am even more amazed with how far this little man has come.

Andy and I are taking turns driving and spending time next to Dylan in the back seat and sometimes he needs entertainment, but most of the time he’s been either sleeping or entertaining himself.

So, I would like to tell you, my special little man: I am so very blessed to be your mother and I love you SO, SO, SO MUCH! You amaze me on a daily basis and I hope you always know how extremely important you are to me!

  Thank you! We’re going to miss you too! I’m sorry I never had a chance to respond! I hope you had a great trip to Mexico!

Hello and welcome. It’s been a while. For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media. Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives. I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it. I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past. But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here. Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through. Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often. Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here. And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest. There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers. Come on over if you want to process with me.
