After seeing how fast Caleb became a two-year-old, I'm already mourning the fact that Nathan is growing so quickly. As much as I love each stage they go through, I'm realizing there are only so many more times he is going to hold my hand when I nurse him...only a handful left of big, sloppy, open-mouthed kisses...just a few more moments of him staring in wonder at my face as if it is the most lovely thing he has ever seen.
I know that pretty soon he'll be more interested in cars and trucks, running and playing. I LOVE the older playful stages too, but this momma is sad my baby is slipping away. Maybe it is because my attention is divided and I don't get to soak in every second I have with Nathan. So I'm being sentimental. And I made a little video of my baby Nathan.
It is totally amateur (which I hope to get better) and sappy, but I'm desperate to record these moments that I feel are passing too swiftly. One day I'll be able to go back and watch, remember when, and probably bawl my eyes out. I love my baby!

Happy Birthday my Sweetpea!
Today is Lisa's birthday and I thought I'd make a rare appearance on the blog to celebrate her as a woman, a girlfriend, a wife, and a mother.
My wife was born in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Flower Mound, TX (DFW) right before High School.
I met her in college at Texas A&M while serving at Grace Bible Church.
My life was changed forever. I couldn't imagine my life without her. She is so wondeful and I tell her quite often that I'd be miserable if I didn't have her. She cares for me in every way and asks nothing in return. She is the epitome of selflessness.
Then when the boys came along, her sweetness just got sweeter. I've never seen anyone pour themselves out for three dirty boys with such a wonderful attitude and a healthy vision of her purpose.
My dear, my sweetpea. I love you! Happy Birthday and thank you - THANK YOU - for all you've done for us and continue to do each day. We would all have a VERY poor quality of life without you and I pray that we have MANY more years together, 'til we grow old and croak.
LOVE!

Caleb is TWO!!!
Wow! What a year! It feels like it has gone by so fast. 12-24 months has got to be the most fun age. Caleb has grown from a baby into this amazing little person with a hilarious personality, amazing vocabulary, and beautiful heart. We love him to pieces. I can't wait to see what this next year holds. I'm bracing myself for the terrible twos - but whatever happens, I'm going to try to cherish every day I get with this wonderful blessing.
giving him a birthday kiss this morning:
