Happy 6 Months!

I can't believe my happy handsome little man is already 6 months old! He steals my heart more and more every day and I can't imagine our family without him! He continues to bless me with his charming personality and adorable smiles, and the only time he really gets upset is when he's hungry. Let me tell you... this boy can EAT! He started solids a few weeks ago and absolutely loves it. So far there hasn't really been anything he doesn't like, although peas are his favorite and he hasn't seemed as into the sweet stuff as I thought he would be. He started rolling over consistently about a month ago and loves to have tummy time, especially when big sisters are there to entertain him with toys. He also loves to bounce in his jumper and can entertain himself for quite some time. He's in the 95th percentile for length, which means he pretty much outgrew his carrier car seat already, which is fine with me because he's almost to heavy for me to carry when he's in that thing anyway. This weekend we get to take a road trip to Idaho to visit Grandpa Ken - our fist long car ride with 3 little ones! Pray for us! lol

Anniversary of my Dad's diagnosis

Anniversaries help us to remember and acknowledge things in the past. They might not always be happy memories, but I do believe that remembering and reflecting is important. It was a year ago this Memorial Day that I found out my dad had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone.  These pictures were all taken about 2 years ago. We had no idea then that these would be the last memories with Grandpa.  I’ve wanted to write about his passing for some time now, but I just wasn’t ready until now.  His death has been hard for me to process in a lot of ways. I know death is never easy, and cancer can be a horrible way to die, so I don’t fault my dad for his decision. What I do wish in hindsight is that it wasn’t illegal in Idaho to end your own life, in cases of terminal illness. That’s the choice my dad made, rather abruptly in my opinion and like all grieving children I would have given anything to have more time with him. But I think he was afraid. I think he was afraid that he w...

Day Care

Jenica is going to daycare for the first time this afternoon. I think I'm having a much harder time with it than she will. The lady that will be watching her one day a week also watches my friend Brandi's son, so Jenica will get to play with Judah while she's there. There are also a few other kids that come on Thursday afternoons so I'm sure she will have lots of fun. I know I can't have the best of both worlds (stay at home mom and career woman), it's just hard to have to leave my baby girl with someone who doesn't love her like I do. It's times like these when I wish I didn't live so far away from my family, so Jenica could just spend an afternoon with her Grammy or her cousin Kayla instead of having to go to a strangers house. Rob and I have weighed the pro's and con's and feel like a little time with other kids will actually be good for Jenica right now and will allow me to focus on work with out worrying about what Jenica could be gettin...
