DAY262
Day 262 of the 365 Day Project
Today was not a very good picture day as I am feeling under the weather and I've had a terrible migraine all day.. She snuck over to the piano and was playing so sweetly, and I snapped this just after she caught me watching her. She sure does love to sing and play whichever instrument is nearby!

Our Funny Son
I just have to share something that Keegan said while we were in Georgia! He was talking to my Grandpa and suddenly stopped and looked very concerned. He said, "Grandpa, why do you have all those cracks on your face? And..look! You're missing a spot of your hair!" It was hilarious! Hopefully it made you smile :)
Lila is Talking!
It's been a while since I've updated about anything other than the 365 Day Project, so I figured I would let everybody know about Lila's progress in speech! I guess she has hit that point where she picks things up rather quickly and starts putting words together more clearly. Starting about three weeks ago, she started recognizing me as "Mimi" (mee-mee), and now I am Mama. She says "Let's go!" and "Come on" and "Night night". She says "no" in response to questions, and when she wants to say yes, she just babbles and nods her head and smiles. She says "Bear" and absolutely LOVES her bear, she can't go anywhere without it and if she happens to part from it and sees it, she giggles uncontrollably, it's adorable! She can kind of count, thanks to Keegan being a little trouble maker! I start counting to three whenever he is doing something he shouldn't, so I say "One!" and then Lila pipes in "Two! Three!" I know I should make her stop because that's not her place to say to Keegan, but how do you stop such an adorable and innocent little girl?! :) She understands the meaning behind bye bye, and tries to say it but it comes out with a D instead of a B.."die die!" If she doesn't say it in such a sweet way, I might be concerned, haha. She says "Cheese" when she goes to take a picture of somebody with her camera. She says syllables that sound like "I love you", it's not quite right, more like "I uh oo" but it's always after we say it to her, so I think she will get that soon. All of this is just in the last two weeks! She is such a great listener, and is always looking out for everybody. She [almost] always obeys us when we ask her to do something, and she is such a cuddle bug! We are so lucky to have her as our daughter!! :)

Happy Anniversary To Us!
"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you."
I am not quite sure of the author of this quote, but I find it to be so true for me. Jonas and I celebrate four years of marriage today. Four years of pure joy, love, and happiness together! How far we've come in these years - we have two wonderful children together, we are homeowners, we both have great jobs that provide and allow us to spend plenty of time with our kids. Just to name a few :) I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us and our little family! Happy Anniversary, Jonas! I love you!

Georgia 2012
As you may have guessed, the kids and I went to Georgia this past week. We originally went for my brother Trevor's graduation from Georgia Southern University, and wound up staying 9 days. Here are some pictures from our trip!
We drove up on Thursday, so the following pictures are from Friday, before heading down to Statesboro for Trevor's graduation.

Me and Paityn
In Statesboro, I got the biggest surprise of my life. My little sister Savannah (who lives in Michigan with our brother Logan and their mom) was there! I hadn't seen Savannah in more than a decade, and Paityn had never met her before. It was so great, catching up with her and just spending time with her. She fit right in, and I can't wait for the next time we get to see her!

Also on Thursday, we released balloons for my cousin's son's first birthday. Little Ryan passed away six days after birth last year due to a chromosome condition known as Trisomy 13. R.I.P. Ryan! We love you!
Bubbles and rainbows...what more could a kid ask for??
Playing in the rain
Mmmm :)
Keegan was so scared of the trampoline; Conner's girlfriend Monica was the only one that could get him to bounce a little bit!
Trying to find the perfect balance of helium and oxygen
