Baby New Year
Turning the calendar at the beginning of each month is exciting. Not just a little exciting, but my heart rate increases, my lips form a smile, and I can’t quite turn the page fast enough. A whole new month…empty boxes that I can fill with lunches, parties, trips, and the unknown events that will pleasantly present themselves. Imagine the thrill of opening a new calendar, a New Year with untouched pages. Twelve months, silently waiting, filled with unlimited opportunities. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

New Year’s Eve has long been one of my favorite holidays. It gives you the chance to reflect on the past year, to remember the good, the bad, and the unexpected. A time to welcome in the changes you wish to see in the New Year. It’s the time to reinvent yourself and set goals. It's a time to shake off the dust that has taken residence on your shoulders. It's a time to go somewhere, anywhere. Follow a map, or a leaf blowing in the wind, or even the random car in front of you. Just go.

Scott and I made 1 resolution as the clock struck midnight.  One night a month we are going to leave Baby Boy in the loving hands of family while we go out.  We are bound and determined to keep the "crazy in love" in our relationship and not allow that to get lost now that we are parents.  It might be something as simple as grabbing G.D. Ritzy's and heading down to the river to watch the sunset, but so be it.  Plus spending 1 evening doing nothing but loving on that man is so much better than making a resolution to lose weight.

Besides the monthly date with my husband, there will be trips, there will concerts, there will be nights spent under the star filled sky.  There will be days filled with showing our boy the world and a year full of giving that baby boy more love then this world has seen. We’re ready. Welcome 2012…the Fisher Family has been waiting for you.

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
