Oh Theodore, you wouldโve been TWO today…ย I remember this moment…ย I remember being so thrilled that you were โcomfortableโ enough on this particular day to lay โchest to chestโ with mommy; feeling your chest rise and fall with each breath against mine was well worth recruiting someone to help coordinate the process of delicatelyContinue reading “๐ก๐ข๐ง โ๐ง๐ช๐ขโ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐๐ฌ…๐”

…It all begins and end with a kiss ๐
Think about it. The first instinct a father has when holding their precious baby is to kiss their cheek… because what feels better than fresh newborn skin pressed against your lips when no words seem significant enough to properly represent your overwhelming amount of love? Those same fathers eventually experience earthly departures, yet that sameContinue reading “…It all begins and end with a kiss ๐”
โก๏ธWONDER WOMAN IS 6โก๏ธ
I laughed when this little โsuperheroโ requested a โWonder Woman Birthdayโ because prior to last month, the words were never even in her vocabulary… Ironically, her โsilly thoughtโ quickly evolved to a very โappropriate suggestionโ, as I soon began to realize that MacKenna casted herself for the perfect role… I think back over the pastContinue reading “โก๏ธWONDER WOMAN IS 6โก๏ธ”

A Special Gift ๐ฐโ๏ธ
โTheodore picked out this stuffed bunny as a special gift for you, right before he went up to heaven to live with Jesus…โ Thatโs what we had to tell our 4-year-old three days before Easter last year.
