Lo's 1st Birthday Celebration

This girl is loved by so many and we are so grateful to God that we get a front row seat to watch her grow. Loving on her this past year has been amazing. The snuggle is real!! By the way I had no clue what I was doing but threw together this floral headband the morning of the party, surprisingly she kept it on for a little while. 

Lo's 12 Month Update

These photos were incredibly difficult to get, this girl is super busy!! Our sweet N' Lo, here we are, a year later and I am so incredibly grateful for your smile. It SHINES brighter than the stars. You are as sweet as pie and your cuddles are the absolute best. This year has been a challenge but I wouldn't have you any other way. I am still so impressed with you walking so early when you insist Mom hold you everywhere. You aren't a big talker but you've got your sister for that. I will never regret not holding you enough!!!

Dining Room Update

There are so many projects going on over here that it's hard sometimes focus on just one. We are still renovating the basement which is going slow but steady. The living room and dining room still have a ways to go but we've made some big leaps on the dining room with the instillation of our bench cushion. I knew it was going to help make the space look finished but I didn't expect it to look this complete. We had to wait almost 3 months for the cushion to be completed but it was worth the wait because I am loving how it's coming together. 

A Visit From Our Crew

Sometimes you just have to remind your friends of the good time they had while visiting you. Maybe they'll look at this blog and decide to move here. It's worth a try, and either way these memories need to be documented. When our favorite crew came from Orlando to visit us, it was our first time as a wolf pack of eight, EIGHT people!!! We've doubled in size and we are so grateful to God for our friendship with the Cajustes. 

Lo's 11 Month Update

Jord Watch + Giveaway

Shopping for the main men in my life has NEVER been an easy task. My mother and I always said (when referring to my father), "what do you get the man who has everything?" As a kid that translated into making hand made gifts but as an adult it means unique gifts that I know he would like. The same has become true when shopping for my own husband. I know everything he has and he really doesn't NEED anything. Unique gifts are where it's at. Thanks to Jord Watches, I can help you if you suffer from this same issue. 

Sister Sister

Watching this relationship is hands down one of my favorite things in the world. I will cherish being able to show them these pictures and stories as they grow older. Frequently reminding them of how they couldn't stand to be away from each other. I took Noelle to see Beauty and The Beast when it hit the theaters and when Tj informed her it would just be here and I, she immediately asked about Lois. Stating that she "likes this stuff too"! Our previous babysitter gave Lois water before she was 6 months old. When Tj and Noelle got home, Noelle informed the babysitter that Lois was not allowed to have water, before Tj could speak a word. Noelle is fiercely protective of her.
