When We were New

This November marks the three year anniversary of when Brandi and I fell in love. It is hard to believe that it has been that long already. At the same time, I can't remember my life without her. It seems as though I was hardly living before she came into my life. All of my current joy and every successful endeavor in my life, I owe to my darling wife.
I love this picture because I feel like it somehow captures the depth of love and joy we felt for one another on the day we were wed. Though I could have never believed it at the time, I love Brandi so much more deeply today than I did on that beautiful April day. She is everything to me.
I love you, Sweetheart! 

When He was New

This is a collage of Lincoln when he was less than an hour old. His little body parts are so new and perfect. He is still new and perfect and I am grateful every day to be his daddy. Brandi and I have been so richly blessed to have him in our lives and we thank God every day for sending us His precious child. Our lives are much happier and more wonderful today than they ever were without him.
This week, he'll be nine months old and the last nine months have been, without doubt, the best nine months of my life! I love you, Lincoln.

Can you hear that?

Ahhhh.....Can you hear that? The sound of Halloween being completely over for a year! I understand that some people make all of the money for a complete year by running the haunted houses. I will also leave out all adjectives to describe those haunted houses because I'm trying to be nice. I understand that kids will ring my doorbell, and because I have a cute kid I will answer in hopes that they are all cute, and even when the rest of them will never be as cute as my baby, and some will be not cute at all, I will give them candy. Ahhhh.....It's over. It's so over! Hallelujah!

On the other hand.....my baby was darling!
