7.5 months: Ahhhh! He's Almost on the Move!

(The following post was written in the past, and never posted because our computer has been on the fritz and therefore my posts are naked of pictures. I'm giving up and posting everything anyway. So, sorry the the nakedness!!!!) I've never wanted to laugh and cry in the same day as many times a week as I do now. We start off having great mornings full of milestones and activities and tickles and giggles and sunlight. Then afternoon hits and something changes. Dillon is ready to be on the move.

The End of a Decade

(The following post was written in the past, and never posted because our computer has been on the fritz and therefore my posts are naked of pictures. I'm giving up and posting everything anyway. So, sorry the the nakedness!!!!) The second decade of my life officially ended, and boy oh boy was it a good one! I enjoyed my first alcoholic beverage without breaking the law......with many more to follow. I embarked on my journey as a Registered Nurse, and even traveled as one for a whole year, just like I'd always dreamed of doing. I learned how to play the guitar and wrote my first song (who...
