Celebrate.

 That's what we did! The hubs had asked for a feast, and a feast is what he got! His mother and grandmother prepared a wonderful meal. All made with love and there was plenty to go around. He was so happy to sit down to a wonderful family meal. See :

After dinner, we settled down and had a heartwarming time of fun and fellowship. I got the chance to snap some sweet pictures of Baby H, and shortly after Caleb and his "bothers from other mothers" grabbed the guitars. Afterwards we grabbed a few bites of the Oreo Pudding poke cake I brought. Caleb's favorite has always been anything to do with an Oreo cookie. 

Here's some more images from our night:

 

Poor Amelia had a bit of a rough ending to the night that started with a slight fever. She went to sleep very quickly. The girl can't help but fall asleep when she snuggles with daddy.

 All in all, our night was pretty amazing. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this night of fun, fellowship, and togetherness was needed and so very worth it!  Again, a very happy 27th birthday to my love!

 

My Man.

So there's this guy. I met him over 4 years ago, and since then it has been a whirlwind! He's a handsome fellow. A wonderful man, husband and father. To add to the list he's a son, a brother, a nephew, a grandson. The list goes on and on. But I am so glad to call him mine. And since he's mine, I'll give my view of my man :)

It's been an absolutely wonderful 4 years and I've watched him turn from just a boyfriend, to my husband, the father of our precious girls. He is an over-abundantly protective father, he's strong man of spirit, heart, mind, and love. He's gentle but gives tough love when needed. He is surprisingly silly in his cunning comedic timing. The man I know is a doting father who got so jumbled from happiness and excitement that he couldn't remember the birth stats of our first born just mere moments after her birth. He sang "You are My Sunshine" to her in her first few hours outside of the womb. Precious Evalyn.

23 months later, we did it all over again. Welcoming another bubbly little girl.

My lovely man is the glue that holds me together. He is what keeps me calm and sometimes what drives me crazy. But I wouldn't have it any other way. He is  the guy who brightens our daughters' days when they just aren't have a good day. He brightens my day too...

He'll drum on the stairs, play horsey, and still have enough energy to go on about his day. He's a guiding force in what seems like a hectic life. He knows just what I'm thinking sometimes and is always there to listen. I am beyond blessed to have met the man I call my own. I know how cliche all of this sounds, but it's all very true. He is mine, he is my love, my heart, my best friend, and I just when I think I can't possibly love him any more, I do.

Happy Birthday, honey.

I love you! 

loved you then, love you still, always have, always will

I'm Back!

After a Winter hiatus, I'm back! 

I took the time to get my business lined up, and while I've still got a few things to work on, I'm excited to be back. Fresh. Inspired. And ready to hit the ground running! 

On another note, Happy Valentine's Day to any and all lovelies that ready this blog. 

Currently, I'm working on knitting a beautiful slightly off white newborn hat. It will be beautiful when it's finished. I'm excited about it. Yarn keeps me sane :) Caleb would say otherwise, though. He would tell everyone that I'm addicted, but I digress. 

And about things that are insane{ly cute}, here's my big girl, being her goofy self! I love her silly faces!

A short but sweet post for tonight, but I'll be back Monday if not before for a special post for the hubs. That handsome man got me flowers and Nutella for Valentine's Day. He sure does know that the way to my heart is through a jar of Nutella. I love him!

Alright, one more picture. Of my sweet Mia, before {her favorite} cheesy {kernel free} popcorn.

Happy Valentine's Day, from my little family to yours!
