My favorite person's birthday

Yesterday was a most beautiful day for celebrating my best friend and partner in life. The kids and I made cinnamon rolls and coffee and placed photo albums and birthday cards on the table in the morning. A simple and love-filled morning hanging around the front porch and dining table was enjoyed.

Later we took Darren to the skate park and enjoyed the beauty of fall in the Grand Valley, surrounded by trees in yellows and reds.

We wrapped up the day with an evening enjoying a warm slow cooker meal and banana cake together followed by a few rounds of the game 6-pack (or Golf, depending on that name you know it by).

I love Darren more than I could share over a blog post. He is the most patient and gracious human I know and his immense knowledge is unmatched in anyone I've met. It is an ever evolving adventure to be his life partner. I am beyond lucky to be sharing my life with such an amazing and wonderful human! 💖

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children. I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read.

Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
