So it's March 7 today - a rainy Sunday - I am so ready for spring-time temps...
I finally pushed the dreaded publish button for this Blog. Why am I writing this? Well I started thinking about it last Spring/Summer. I was pregnant with Allison and thinking of all the great stories we have to tell about Ryan - and then I was worrying about how I was going to remember all the new stories that were going to come with the birth of Allison. How can one brain keep it all straight?? Well I am actually lucky - I have two brains. Jason let's me borrow his. He is so nice. We often lay in bed at night, the house is quiet and dark - and we hear the occasional rustle of the 65 toys Ryan has in bed with him, and we remember stories of the day, and the last week and the last month and the last year - (are you getting it - we do a lot of remembering...we just don't want to forget.) So Jason said he was going to start a word document on Google docs to start keeping track of these great stories. Google Docs...really?!? So I said, "no let's use that blog I started many moons ago." "No," he said. "He's not a witty writer"...."whatever, who cares," I said. It will be a great place for us to memorialize these thoughts and pics..and if our family and friends want to check in on it from time to time great!! So that is how I really got motivated.
But it still took me more than a month to push Publish. In February, I made a few entries. Just random thoughts I had from the sweet things my kids were doing. So today I pressed Publish and magically they are all here in Cyberspace. Just like that! Anyone can see them now...I just need to get up the nerve to tell people about it. Maybe tomorrow...
Allison is officially on the move. She started crawling about two weeks ago - it began as an army crawl, graduated to a "catepillar" crawl, and now it's a real crawl...she can get anywhere she wants and especially likes to go for Ryan's toys. When propped up, she even likes to stand now!!
Morning is one of my most favorite times of the day. Ryan gets up first and he always wants to see "baby." We head into Allison's room together and he likes to sit with her in her crib. Each of their eyes light up when they see the other and Ryan makes Allison squeal - which in turn makes Ryan giggle. Listening to my kids laugh together is simply the best sound ever. Love these sweet babies!
He likes to hit balls at the "golfing range" and in our backyard he like to "hit em over the fence." Jason takes daily trips over the fence to shag the balls. (Daddy needs to watch out for jumping Cholla cactus in the future!) The kid loves to watch Phil Mikelson's "Secrets of the Short Game" - and likes to practice "putting the ball in the hole." We are encouraging his love of the game - and secretly hoping he's the next Phil the Thrill - but only as long as he loves it. The minute he doesn't - we'll move on to the next sport!
Is there anything sweeter, nicer, more comfy than your precious little one fast asleep on your chest? The only thing sweeter, nicer, more comfy in my world is to watch my sweet husband loving on our kids. He really is the best dad. I mean, my dad was truly the best, but Jason is right up there - I believe they are tied for first place! My dad would have really loved Jason. I am so lucky to be married to such a great guy, a great husband and a great dad. My kids are soooooo lucky to have him too.
