Only Fools Rush In...

Cue the music!!



Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband!  Words alone cannot seem to express how thankful I am to have you in my life, but, alas it's all I have.



Dean's Grandmother Liles (in blue)... a beautiful lady, inside and out.  She passed away in January.



I appreciate the wonderful family support throughout the years... and I miss those who are no longer with us.



My grandmothers Betty (in blue) and Bobbie.  Grandma Betty passed away in April.

 I can't believe how much our family has grown!



From one....



To four!

Over the past six years our family dynamic has been in constant flux as kids were added to the mix.  As they grow, and as we share each and every new experience, we have proved to be a very good team.  I love the ever-expanding collective experience that we share - it makes us stronger and wiser as we navigate parenthood together.  I love to watch you give a tender hug and kiss to the child that needs it, I love that Colin greets you with a "Hi Daddy", whenever you enter the room... I love that you are such a good example for Jordan as he grows older... and I love that you are such a fun and playful parent.  I am such a lucky wife to have a husband that takes such good care of me.  You have had to put up with a lot in the past six years - three pregnancies??? - you are a candidate for sainthood.  You never fail in remembering my needs, and always go the extra mile to make me feel special. 

Wise men say only fools rush in, but I needed love in my life.  I needed happiness.  I needed a family.  You appeared on the horizon, and that was all it took.  You were the missing piece that made me whole again.

So take my hand, take my whole life too....

Because I can't imagine it without you!
