Wren [8 months]

Every mama feels it and I'm no exception. You are simply growing up way too fast and my heart can barely keep up. And neither can I - you are on.the.move. 

I'm just so thankful that each day holds it's own joy. That way I can manage to let go of yesterday and look forward to whatever newness tomorrow will bring us. But I'm most thankful that I get to spend each day with you, my sweet girl. And to see you and Daddy light up when you see each other. Oh man. 

H[28th]BD, Bink!

This is a picture of a picture that I have secretly kept in my Bible for years. It's quite possibly my favorite one of you, Bink. For one, you're candidly shirtless (all while repurposing furniture for me) and mostly because it simply reminds me of who you really are in the way that I know you - of the man that I'm blessed enough to love and to be loved by so deeply. 

All I know is that men aren't made like you anymore and, after these past 10 years together, I still couldn't stand it if you weren't all mine. I love you MUCH, Michael. Happy 28th Birthday today!

Wren [7 months]

That'll teach me to try to take your monthly pictures right before your nap when you've been a little under the weather. But our 7th month has really been such a fun one - lots of firsts and new developments for you! Now you dream yourself some sweet little dreams. Feel better. I'll always, always be here when you wake. We love you, Wren!

Easter Sunday

Today we celebrate that our Redeemer lives and, more certain the Spring, the new life that He brings!

Wren [6 months] - Happy 1/2 Birthday!

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY, Wrennie Mik!! I hope you always feel just how deeply loved, cherished and celebrated that you are. Today we will enjoy extra avocado, snuggles, fake sneezes and a new crinkly book in your honor (: We love you much!

Wren's first snow [morning]

Wren, we hope your snow days always feel at least a little bit magical. That time slows down enough for the memories to really stick. You make every single kind of day there is more fun than ever before. 

Wren [5 months]

 

Wren, you are at such a fun, interactive stage right now! We love to watch you explore your little world and are always excited to be right by your side as you try more and more new things for the first time. You are such pure joy to your daddy and me and we love you with all that we have. Thanks for being our sweet little Valentine (:
