Walking

We live exactly 2 seconds from an elementary school, so when it was sunny we decided to go play on the playground.
What does a tiny girl do when she's mastered walking and its the best thing ever? A whole lot of this!
She did, however, venture once or twice over to the slide.


Climbing out was a trick she hasn't mastered yet, but it was so funny to watch! She grunted and panted and did some pretty impressive yoga poses getting on/off that yellow slide.
She couldn't quite master the grass either.
When BJ was done with his run he joined us to walk us home. K loves her dad and giggled while riding on his shoulders.
I love her!

Husbands and other nonsense


There's nothing like seeing a terrible marriage to make you appreciate your own imperfectly perfect marriage. Or make you want to run home to hubby, hug him and apologize for anything and everything, and make silly promises like "we'll never fight again! promise!". Not that we've been having any problems lately. But I've recently had the opportunity to witness up close and personal a couple that has problems. It makes me really sad.
Afterwards I immediately had to call BJ to tell him I love him. I don't think he understood where my mood was coming from. He always chalks that sort of thing up to me being a "girl".
Lets face it-
Couples fight
Bicker
Get sick of each other
If you think being married is all cotton candy and hugs, sorry to tell you that you're gonna have some of your worst fights with the one you love the most.
But I'm so grateful for BJ. There's no one I would rather argue with.
This has been sort of an off week for me. I've been grumpy and out of sorts. Not only because I've started a new job, but I feel like i'm drowning in my last few weeks of school.
So when the basement flooded, I did NOT want to deal with the mildewy smell and having to sleep on a mattress on the floor in the living room. Yuck. The clutter and jumbled furniture surrounds my space at home and makes me anxious and upset.
But yesterday, on one of the only days BJ has off, he bathed, fed, played with, and changed diapers for K girl. He taught our rowdy class of boys at Sunday school. AND he made dinner.
I'm so lucky to have such a loving and hard working husband.
Maybe I won't nag him this week.... Maybe

Kenley turned one and we celebrated in style! She was not shy at all with that cake :)
Could she be any cuter?
I wanna send a big THANK YOU to all our family and friends that made it a fun success!
