Our Story....
I’m a very blessed mother of two amazing children: Brooklyn and Evan. Brooklyn will be five in April, and she has seemed to obtain all the qualities that I wanted her to have and then some. She is independent, imaginative, athletic, energetic, and downright “sassy”. Whether it’s putting her hands on her hips or yelling some made up song throughout the house or store, my parents just smile with joy to know that I have received exactly what I deserve. As for our new little one, Evan, who was born on January 27th, he brings a new kind of excitement to our home. He’s quite the character and represents everything “boy” that I haven’t yet experienced. He hates his diaper changed, getting dressed, and going to long without food, pretty much anything that makes him just a little uncomfortable. He is making his competitive mark in this family with a fight, as well as making his mom feel like a new parent all over again.
I have been very blessed over the years. I married a wonderful man named Greg, who possesses all the good qualities I don’t have. He challenges me everyday to be a better person, he is my best friend. The past few years have been filled with many sacrifices as I was trying to complete the nursing program, and after lots of hard work in June 2008, I finally graduated nursing school and began working as a critical care nurse in the Rogue Valley. Just as we thought of recovering from a life of chaos, my husband was offered a job in Washington, and off we went to embark on a new adventure.
As I look back at all we have accomplished, I’m proud of the sacrifices my family has made to enrich our lives. For now I’m enjoying staying home with the kiddos and treasuring every minute because I know that it won’t last forever. I feel thankful everyday for the family and friends in my life, and this year I look forward to developing new roots in a new town.
The Sprinkler In April!!!
We woke up this morning to a beautiful day. The sun was shinning, it felt more like a summer morning than a spring day. Brooklyn instantly began begging every five minutes for the sprinkler to be brought out. I kept telling her no because I wasn't sure what everyone would be thinking if a five year old little girl was running through a sprinkler at 10am in the morning, plus the last thing I want were little ones with colds. After some hesitation and the arrival of noon, I figured that too much fun was passing her by, so on her suit went along with much needed sunscreen, and she played for hours in the sprinkler. Of course, the water was cold, so you can imagine how dramatic she was with each dart through the water, but she seemed to manage by taking breaks to warm up under the sun. Evan even enjoyed the sun today, I put on his colorful swim trunks, and he just sat in the shade in his bouncy seat smiling at his sister as she ran by with shrieks of joy. It's not everyday in April that you get to take the sprinkler out of the box for the entire day.
