Favorite Foto Friday - Pilgrimage

Once a year

When the leaves start to change

When the air feels crisp

And players take the field

Chris & I take a grown-ups only trip

To see our team play

Some years its sunny and sometimes it rains

Some years its a victory and sometimes a defeat

But every year

rain or shine

win or lose

We have a great time

(probably because of the grown-up beverages and cigars)

Why is it that when I put on rain gear I look like a shapeless blob, but when the kids put theirs on they look even cuter than they usually do?

Appearing adorable no matter the weather - just another one of the many joys of being young.

Look Out World

Today was Aidan's first day of preschool. As he does with all new experiences, he approached it with enthusiasm. I love how Aidan views the chance to do anything new as a grand adventure. It is without a doubt my absolute favorite thing about him.

With him at school, my trips to the grocery store will definitely be less exhilarating.

Not so long ago, we were struggling to have a family. The house felt quiet and empty.

Now, this is the sound that often can be heard echoing through the halls:



Our house is wild, noisy, overflowing with little boys' toys and a reminder of how full our lives are now.

Its perfect - even though full enjoyment frequently requires 2 Advil.
