"When you called me to be a Mama, You didn't ask for perfection. But that with every breath, I'd point them to You."

"a portrait of one, two, or all three of my children - once each week - in 2019"


Jaden: This pretty much sums up your summer - you've been one giant goof ball for the past two months. But - life is about to get super busy again, as you've started football practice as of this week and will be starting Outlaws season again in less than a month. You attended Cedar Falls High School Fit to Hit Camp last week and have Martin Brothers basketball workouts the next two weekends. I just keep telling myself that this season of life doesn't last forever, and we need to enjoy it while we have it!


Brandon: Talk about mama guilt. Last week after I came home with a surprise new board game for you - an anniversary edition of one of my favorites from when I was your age - you told me that you and I haven't had much time together for a long time now. Well, that's all I needed to hear to surrender my evening and have a game night with you outside under the stars!


Kaitlyn: You are slowly but surely gaining your confidence with walking - more intentionally taking steps on your own without our help. You still only make it a few steps before losing balance, but just this past weekend we noticed you really trying to be more independent about it. One of my favorite things about you right now is how whenever you say "Dada" - you always say it in a whisper! And your first "full" sentence has been spoken several times now: "Hi, Dada!" I'm not even upset that you don't say Mama more - it's so darn cute hearing you whisper your excitement for him when you see him. ;)
