Guitar Time.

Our little A loves it when her dad brings out the guitar! 

It's Okay.

It's Okay:

To finally feel well enough to catch up on blogging.
To be day dreaming about all the food that we'll have for Thanksgiving!
To have a love/hate relationship with the snow, it came super early and stuck this year!
To get caught up in life and forget about your blog once in a while.
To be ready for your sister to leave, (the one you've been hoping would come visit!).
To have 4 baskets of laundry ready to be folded and put away, for a week in your room!

Wedded Bliss Wednesdays

This week's questions: Your husband as a father/future father:

1. What is/will be your husband's best trait as a father?

He is loving. For the longest time A would scream anytime he'd hold her, he couldn't comfort her at all. He kept trying and now that she is older, she'll let him comfort her. She'll sit by him on the couch and snuggle before bed. When he's working, she'll sit on his lap and watch movies on the computer.

2. What is/will be your husband's favorite thing to do with the kids?

Play guitar with A. She loves to sit on his lap, or right next to him and play the guitar.

3. How does/will your husband help out with the kids?

Anything before bedtime. He has the hardest time helping when it comes to bedtime. If he is in bed already, forget it.

4. What do you hope your children learn from their dad?

 You can be better than your parent's. My husband's dad isn't the best example of what to be when you grow up. In fact, he's the best example of what not to be. Lots of people I know don't think they can do better than their parent's but my husband knew he could. He also didn't feel the need to be like his friends, he's always been his own person, doing what is best for him.

20 Months.

Watching the number of months go up as I write these posts, have got me thinking a couple things. 

1. That its probably time to stop doing monthly updates and, 2. That my baby isn't a baby anymore.

Here is Miss A at 20 months.
