love & time

olive turned 6 this past month, making me a mom of a big kid,  i am just weeks (maybe days -- please, please) away from being a mom to a little tiny boy and in just a few days i will be married to the most incredible man for FIFTEEN years! life goes so quickly! certain moments i really try and slow down and savior.

 watching her sleep is one of my favorite things

 just having her close

 oh man, if this doesn't make you feel like "maybe i have done alright as a mom so far!?" i love her so much!

turning 6! manicures, ears pierced, sushi and a visit from grandma


it's hard to believe that we will have a little boy to share our love with soon! it's amazing how much you can love someone. i remember, before we were about to have olive, looking at brian and wondering "how can i possibility love someone else as much as i love this man?" and yet the heart can stretch in amazing ways. when we talked about the idea of having another baby i remember thinking again, "how could we possibly love someone as much as we love olive?" and again, as we get closer to this little boy being born, we know how easily our hearts have already stretched and will continue to stretch....

it is also hard to believe that brian and i will be married for FIFTEEN years next sunday!?! how is it even possible that that much time has gone by? that we have experienced that much? (married at 18 & 22, dylan, the army, living in germany, deployments, dc, olive, buying a house, undergrad & grad school, back to dc, having a baby boy) that we are that old!!? one thing i am sure of after all of these fifteen years - i am the luckiest woman in the world to have such an amazing partner in life! he is my best friend, an incredible human being and such a loving and amazing father! i love watching him with olive. they are so close and have so many adventures together. i can't wait to see him holding this new little baby and watching them grow in their love for one another.... and I am so lucky for getting to keep loving him (more and more)  for the rest of our lives!
