365 days of marriage



To the father of my child,

Today is our one year anniversary. What a wonderful, and surprising year that it has been. I don't think that either of us could have imagined what this year would bring.
And as I think back on our history I have alot to be thankful for.

I am thankful that my job made me come to Champaign, a place I would have never chosen on my own.
I am thankful that you were doing announcements on my first week in church, so I knew that I had to meet you.
I am thankful that you were crazy enough to tell me how you could see us spending our life together, three dates into knowing each other.
I am thankful for eight months of dating, and eight months of almost no sleep.
I am thankful that you took every part of our relationship seriously, whether it was saying I love you, or proposing I know that you had prayed about it and thought the decision through.
I am thankful that you told me when you were proposing, even though I know that you regret it.
I am thankful for sabbath days where we do nothing together.
I am thankful that you amuse me to no end. I know that if we had a week off and nothing to do, we would not be bored.
I am thankful that God surprised us 6 months into our marriage with an addition to our family.
I am thankful for our son, because I am alot less scared of a mini-Daniel running around than a mini-Katie.

I love you,
Wife

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
