I got some sweet photos of Nate yesterday while we were assembling the storm door, and I had to share them here.

#97 A Little Boy’s Dream.
My uncle is a great guy. My brother and I always considered him our favorite uncle growing up, and after today he has solidified his rank as favorite in Will's mind, too. He is an outdoorsman, and loves sharing his love of the outdoors with his family. He had made all kinds of plans for … Continue reading #97 A Little Boy’s Dream.
#96 Ready for the Weekend.
This weekend was a flurry of purchasing last minute things for the wedding weekend ahead, and I finally got around to putting the boys in their outfits that they will wear to the reception. Besides the missing bow ties and missing shirt on Nathan's behalf, I would say we are ready to party!
#93 Good Tears.
There are only a handful of times that I recall crying after my mom passed away. It is something that has been bothering me for the last two years. I want to cry; I can feel it building up inside of my chest. The sadness, the angst, all of those emotions I have felt have … Continue reading #93 Good Tears.
#92 A Smooth Morning.
There are some days when I wake up, and the entire morning runs smoothly. Granted, they are few and far between these days. So when they do happen, I truly feel so much gratitude for those mornings. The boys slept in long enough to let me get showered and ready. I was able to get … Continue reading #92 A Smooth Morning.

#87 Follow-Up Appointment.
This morning was a rough one. Will had his follow-up EEG scheduled for early this morning. This was a sleep-deprived EEG, so this required a little bit of effort on the parent's side to have this be a successful test. We were required to keep him up two hours past his bedtime, and wake him … Continue reading #87 Follow-Up Appointment.
#86 Construction Party Thank You Cards.
I needed to send thank you cards for Nathan's birthday guests, and I could not find the simple construction-theme thank you card I had in mind, so I decided to make one instead. It took only five minutes to create on Word, and I just love the way it turned out. Such a simple detail to … Continue reading #86 Construction Party Thank You Cards.
#85 Road Trip Professionals.
My sweet little boys did so wonderful on the car ride back to Tennessee. After the stressful ride to get to New York, having a peaceful and uneventful ride home was exactly what we needed. We have an incredibly busy fall ahead of us. We have four trips we will be taking this fall: New … Continue reading #85 Road Trip Professionals.
#83 The Scariest Day of Our Lives.
I do not title this entry "the scariest day" for dramatic effect; last night was truly a nightmare. This Labor Day weekend, we decided to make a trip to see Andrew's family. His grandmother is turning 90, and his family is throwing her a surprise party this Sunday. We could both actually take time off … Continue reading #83 The Scariest Day of Our Lives.
