Husbandface's thoughts on today....
T minus 3.5 hours and counting 'til I go under the knife... Don't think Valium and some local anesthetic will be enough, but that's what I'm up against. The family Jewels will just Doug's Jewels by this evening. Sigh

My thoughts on today....
He's the best Husband and Father Ever!

Doug, right after he found out we were pregnant with Ethan.

Some toys you never grow out of.

Owen wanted to play with Baby Cam this morning.... 

and surprisingly, they both loved it. 

Personally, I'm hoping they both stay this little forever...


Being the Mom to so many boys might not be that bad afterall. I love springtime in Georgia.

My Thoughts at Thirty

This birthday came with the perfect surprise!  Friday night I got home from dinner with a friend only to see one of my favorite families piling out of thier suburban. My big brother Chad had brought his cute family up from Florida to spend the weekend with me. We hung out here at the house, we teased eachother, we relaxed, we played games, we watched the cousins play and giggle and wrestle. It was the perfect weekend! 

Surprisingly, being married to an almost fourty year old didn't prepare me for turning thirty the way I thought it would. Numbers and Age never really meant anything to me.... until this last week. Not that I care how old I am but it make me realize how much I've changed in my twenties. How different I am and how much more comfortable I am, being me. Don't get me wrong, I still have a lot of personal progress to make but, as I look back on the last 10 years I'm kinda proud of who I've become and how I've grown. I like who I am, I love my family and my relationships within it and I love my friendships and how even those have grown over the years, I love my marriage and how that has evolved and grown over the last ten years, I love my life! So, my thoughts on being thirty? I am so blessed. I am so happy and I can't wait to see what the next thirty bring me! 

Hopefully it will include lots of fun family time just like this!
THANKS CHAD, TERI and DOUG for making my birthday PERFECT!

Love you!
JJ

good-bye white carpet, Hello pretty! Such a fun birthday present! My Husbandface spoils me! 

Twinsies

You know those friends that seem to do everything together? They watch the same tv shows, they shop at the same stores and they laugh at eachothers lame jokes? You know the friends that finish each others sentences and love eachothers kids like they were their own? Yeah, we're those people. We even have matching babies. AND know what? I LOVE THAT ABOUT US! Last weekend we were able to finally catch up the Cottrells's and meet thier new little one. Baby Peaches was born just a few days before Cam...  

I can't wait to watch them grow up together. 

Seriously, I'm thinking that Life is good.

Please Don't Let Things Change.
