Five Years Ago Today...

I met someone who would forever change my life.

Five years ago today, I met someone who would become my best friend.

Five years ago today, I met someone who would promise to always be honest and open with me even if I wouldn't like the answer.

Five years ago today, I met a man who would drive through a blizzard to be by my side for my grandfather's funeral.

Five years ago today, I met a man I would fall in love with.

Five years ago today, I met a man I would trust enough to move away from all my family and friends for fear I would lose the best thing that had ever happened to me.

Five years ago today, I met a man who would put a ring in my cheesecake, get down on one knee and promise to love me unconditionally for the rest of my life.

Five years ago today, I met a man who would embrace my independence, challenge my thinking, calm my fears, and believe in my dreams.

Five years ago today, I met the man I would marry.

Five years ago today, I met the man who would stand by my side through every obstacle that would stand in our way.

Five years ago today, I met the man who would hold my hand as the doctor explained why I was having trouble getting pregnant and all the steps it would take to have a baby.

Five years ago today, I met the man whose shoulder I would cry on when life wouldn't go according to plan.

Five years ago today, I met the man I would pray with before I would fall asleep at night.

Five years ago today, I met the man I would tell would be the father of my baby.

Five years ago today, I met the man who would say nothing when my crazy pregnant lady moments would show up and tell me I was beautiful in everything I would wear.

Five years ago today, I met the man who would become the father of my son.

Five years ago today, I met the man who would tell me almost every day what a good mom I am and how beautiful his baby boy is.

Five years ago today without me knowing it, my life became complete.

To the best husband and father a girl could ask for...I love you! CB

Grandma's good shots

Grandma Bartmann was able to get some great shots this weekend with her new camera. Thanks for sharing these Grandma!

11 weeks

I have been a stinker this weekend...every time Grandma gets the camera out I stop smiling and talking. I love to look at the cameras but I won't smile and talk when they are in front of me.

Tired from playing

I was playing so hard with Ethan that I fell asleep right on my side on the floor. It is hard work being such a big boy now!

Me and Cousin Ethan

Ethan and I were playing on the floor together today after church. He is almost exactly three months older than me so he can roll around and grab toys already. I'm not quite big enough for that yet, but I am working really hard at holding my head up on my own. It won't be long before the two of us are making our Mom's chase us around everywhere!

Fall Leaves

Mom and Grandma had me out in the front yard today laying in the leaves for a photo op. Grandma got much better pictures than Mom did, so she'll have to send Mom some of hers. I loved the leaves though! I liked the crunching sound they made, so I kicked around in them for a while since it was so nice outside here this weekend.

New outfits!

Grandma Bartmann came out with more presents from family in South Dakota this week. Thanks Aunt Colleen for the new clothes! I'm blowing you kisses in this picture or making a fish face...you pick!
