The point of this blog is to record all of our daily craziness because I was recently told that I won't remember all the little anecdotes and I would really like to keep them somewhere and maybe share them from time to time. I thought I'd start off with a list of the players that will undoubtedly make appearances here from time to time.
They say it takes a village to raise a child...well, this is our village.
First - the children...
Hannah - My angel. Hannah is the baby that made me a mommy. She's 10 going on 17 most days. She splits her time, half a week at home with us and the other half at her dad's house. I'm so proud to be her mom and am so excited to watch the young lady she is becoming and the woman she will one day be.
David - My little stinky. He's 20 months old now and was rascally before he was even born. We were so concerned with him being born early and small and he ended up weighing in at 10lbs 2oz. His smile and laugh constantly remind me why babies are worth the 10 month science experiment, labor, delivery and countless sleepless nights.
Ben - Soon to be the newest member of our clan. Those of you who know us well, know "Ben" is the child that brought Dave and I together. He will finally be real when he joins our family in July. He is keeping me on my toes already and we can't wait to meet him.
Now, this is our village...
Dave - My safe place to land. We've been married for 3 years now and every day has been sweeter than the previous. I was lucky enough to get to know what kind of father he would be before we had any children together and he has become an even more amazing father than I expected him to be. He lets me be me and loves me in spite of all my craziness. He is my forever.
Mom and Dad - My nest. There is not a single thing I would change about the way I grew up. Anything good in me (and I think there is a fair amount of good) came from them. Mom is one of my best friends. We drive each other crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way! Dad is still my hero. If I need advice on a big decision, he is the one I go to. They have been married almost 33 years and are the example I hope to live up to in my own marriage. They know where I've been and have helped me get to where I am. If they lived closer they would be perfect.
Nana, Paparone, Julie and Jeff (aka "Ball") - They are the people responsible for my wonderful husband. I have felt welcome in their family from the moment I met them. I can't begin to list the ways they have been my support in the last couple years. They have given me the peace of mind of knowing I have back up in any situation.
Uncle C and Aunt M- Uncle C is one of my bestest buddies. He was my 'man' of honor at my wedding. We've been through a lot together...3 buttcheeks, fork stabbings, trying to lose the cat, "GET IN THE TUB!" and countless more hilarious times. Aunt M became a part of our family about 10 years ago and I'm so glad she did. She is the sister I always wanted to trade my brother for. I'm excited we are all getting to go through our life stages together.
Every family has their own special brand of crazy and we are no exception...but it's our crazy and I love it!!!
