Five for Friday

1.  Thomas and I celebrated 5 years of marriage on July 10.  Hard to believe it's been 5 years!  I can honestly say that I love him even more now than I did back then.  The more I get to know him each and every day, the more thankful I am that God put Thomas in my life.


Wedding picture, circa 2009.  Young and so baby-faced.  We were all of 21 and 22 years old!

2.  Speaking of the hubster, Happy Birthday to Thomas!


3.  Bless his little heart.  Last weekend, Miller started to run a fever and we attributed it to teething.  He had been drooling excessively and chewing on anything he could.  Two days later his fever spiked to almost 105, so we took him to the pediatrician.  The doctor checked everything, including running a complete blood count, and he said it was probably a virus.  Two days later and no improvement, my mommy instinct told me to take him back and sure enough the little guy had an ear infection and a really red throat.


Poor little guy, his fever was so high that we stripped him down to just a diaper to try and cool him off on the way to the pediatrician's office.

I'm glad I went with my gut feeling because he felt terrible.  The picture below is what he looked like for almost 5 days.  He would just lay in my arms and cried constantly.  It broke my heart.

Now that he has been on an antibiotic and ear drops, he is back to his normal self.


4.  Saw a llama while we were driving home from the grocery store.


5.  It was such a beautiful day today!  Almost felt like a fall day.  Wish that weather would last!

1 year

How has it been 1 year since I held you in my arms and kissed your sweet face?


My heart hurts even writing these words.  I miss you so much, Lucas.  I hope you know how loved you were and always will be.  I hope you know how much you are a part of this family.  You truly enriched our lives more than anyone will ever know.


Mommy's heart is so heavy today.  Tell Jesus to give you lots of hugs today since Mommy can't.

We love you baby boy.  We are so proud of the strength and courage you showed every single day you were here.
