Mr. Grinch

While I was going through some of the Christmas photos that I took of Grayson, I discovered this gem and thought it was so hilarious that it had to have a caption!  This will be a little surprise on the back of our Christmas cards this year.  And if you happen to receive a Christmas card from us (Mom), I apologize for ruining the surprise, but it was too good not to share!

 

It’s Election Day!

Today is Election Day!  I hope all you voters stay safe and make a smart, well-informed decision on who to vote for.  We need a president who will lead our country in the right direction and get us back to being a “Nation Under GOD.”  Our children’s future depends on it!

And in 2048, make sure to vote Grayson for President!!!!

20 Weeks Old!

UPDATE:  I’m happy to report that this blog post and my 20 weeks comparison picture of Grayson has been pinned 183,732 times on Pinterest!  Thanks to everyone who thought this picture was worth pinning. 🙂

I think in my 26.5 years on this earth, this past year has definitely flown by faster than any other year.  Since September of 2011, I’ve found out that I was pregnant, learned I was having a boy, turned 26, gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, flew to CA with my husband and son, and watched my little man grow up before my eyes.  And today, Grayson is 20 weeks old!  That’s 140 days! Or more precisely: 4 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days!

Since I have an ultrasound from when I was 20 weeks pregnant with him, I thought it would be fun to do a comparison:  20 weeks in my belly, and 20 weeks in the outside world.

If someone had told me, then, how much love and joy this little boy could bring into my life, I don’t know if I would have believed them.  But I can tell you now that I have never felt a love like this before.  I love my husband with all my heart, but there is just something so special about a mother’s love for her child.  I would do anything for him!  I look into his eyes and I can see how much he loves me, too, even though he can’t say it yet.

He has stolen my heart……and I don’t want it back. ♥

**UPDATE: Since this post is so popular, I thought I’d share my second son Oliver’s 20 week comparison here!
