Fathers Day

Just some quick thoughts about the WONDERFUL men in my life….

First to the man that “didn’t clip my wings.” My dad has always allowed me to be myself, to SOAR even if the world told me I couldn’t fly. I owe so much to him. He knows he is my favorite and I know I am his, (even if my sisters and brother think the same thing.) Now I have been able to witness him with Brinley. What a joy to see how she has grown to love Pa-paw Sage.

What a blessing it is to have Justin as my husband. He keeps me smiling because of his childlike attitude of life. Brinley has him whipped; it has been fun watching their bond grow. Through the summers I am no longer needed. Brinley wakes up looking for dad and goes to bed reading with dad.

My Grandpa, the Patriarch of our large extended family. He has guided and helped Justin and I through the first years of our life together. I am truly thankful to him for his support.

I have a great father-in-law who purely loves Brinley. He takes half days on Friday to watch her while I am a work (he says its his pleasure.) Brinley looks forward to her day with Pa-paw Ottis.

Together

5 years ago Justin and I were sealed together for time and all eternity. Unfortunately that day seems more of a blur now, with a few sharp and clear memories that I enjoy thinking about from time to time. I have had the best years of my life since Justin and I have been together. Here are just a few memories that stick-out to me…

Justin you have been supportive and patient thank you for all you have and continue to do for me. You are my best friend. Can't wait for the future, we have been blessed with great family, true friends, and strong faith!

Cravings

I went to bed last nigtht craving ice cream and waffles. I thought I would be good and just sleep it off. The next morning...

Thanks to Owen my family enjoyed the mixture of the two. We had waffles with carmel, sprinkles, whipped cream, and to be healthy fruit. BRIN LOVED THEM, and so did momma. Yay, to cravings!!!!

Potty Time

It’s been about 3 weeks of serious potty training, and we are doing really well. Still tough trying to go on the big potty in the real world (not on her tiny pink potty), so she has a few accidents. I can’t wait until this is less work on Justin and I. Asking her every 2 minutes if “you need to use the potty” can be wearing. I guess the strangest thing about potty training is the fact that you can get so excited to see poo poo in a toilet. Who would have known?

Oriental Trading anyone!
