This is our delightful little brood.
My Stud and I met in college in Arizona.
This is the two of us visiting San Diego on our 7th anniversary. I love him more than ever.
It is so much fun to
be married to this quick-witted, incredibly handsome man. My
Stud enjoys yard work (ha ha - think he'll read this and set me straight? He so doesn't love yard work), books that
makes him think, and teaching boys how to become men. He plays the
guitar with skill, he does not like to lose to me in Yatzee, and he
loves Jesus. My Stud works harder than most, loves in the most
unselfish of ways, and has earned my respect time and time again. Plus he makes me a little weak in the knees when he winks at me.
We have three girls. :-)

We call our four-year-old firstborn daughter "Princess" for the purposes of this blog. And she is our princess. She loves dresses that "spin up," anything that sparkles, and all things cheery and gentle. She is an incredibly kind big sister, is really into drawing, and will occasionally surprise us by picking up a princess approved insect. Typical of firstborns, Princess is very dependable and lkes to play by the rules. Wrestling with Daddy is one of her favorite things to do. She's goofy when she wants to be, has a bit of a serious nature at other times, but is always a joy to us.
This is Smooch. She is two and independent as can be. She's sweet and fun, often the instigator of activities around our house because even her older sister is drawn to her sunshiny disposition. But this girl will stand her ground. Smooch lives by the mantra "go where you're celebrated," as her favorite people are the ones who gush over her. She mothers all babies or anything furry, alive or pretend. She is characterized by the way she literally trembles for joy. She is our little snuggle bug, she gallops around the house with enthusiasm, and I suspect even food tastes better to her than to the rest of us.
Our newest addition is 6 months old (as of July 2012). Our little Bug is quick to smile, but not to laugh. She loves to squeal and just learned to clap. Wildly. Like a seal. As my most wiggly and motivated child, she is on the verge of crawling which is very exciting for us. Bug's birthday is the day before mine. She says "Da da" all day long. It is also important to note that her thighs are delightfully chunky. Bug pants like a puppy when she is happy, but she's tongue-tied so it's extra cute. It's pretty safe to say that our whole family is smitten with her sweet baby-ness.
