I'm Back....

Tonight, as I sit on the couch listening to the sound of our children breathing deeply as they dream about their days, I can’t believe that this moment has come.  After 7 years, tonight is the night before my return to the work force as a full-time employee.  Excitement and nerves twisting together prompting me to write about this new chapter in our lives.    

When this blog started many years ago, I was sitting in a comfy chair at Borders bookstore.  Anyone else remember that store?  I was newly engaged and planning a wedding.  I wanted to start a blog to capture each memory I was having during that exciting time.  Our mountain wedding came and went and blogging about my high-risk pregnancy took center stage.  Fast forward a few pages and suddenly I’m a new mom potty training a 6-month-old and soon after finding out we were expecting again! 

Many blogs were devoted to milestones the children were reaching and the traveling adventures of our little family.  At some point I let myself get wrapped up in the hustle of everyday life and I let this little blog go silent for far too long. 

Tonight as I sat in disbelief at the quickness of these past few years, I remembered why I started blogging all those years ago.  I want to remember that tonight I was nervous about returning to the work force full time.  I worried about the silly stuff like getting all the laundry done and having dinner on the table each night.  I want to remember that Scott laughed at my silliness and pointed out that my full-time gig is the same place I’ve been working part-time at for the past 10 months.

It’s time to breathe new life into this blog and write about life on our farm.  I want to record our newest adventures and talk about life in general.  If you’ve been on this page before, welcome back!  If you’ve just recently found me, welcome to my space!

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...
