So today we got out the Christmas decorations. Aspen was so excited. He helped me carry box after box of decorations up from the basement and was so excited to see what was in each one. He was so easy today too. I guess the nativity scene and the other decorations kept his attention and captured his imagination. He was in his own world most of the morning with his guys and the nativity scene making up stories. This is so rare that I have to write about it! I love this time of year. The decorations make the house feel so homey.
On another note, today was a good day because both of the kids took good naps. Journey went down for both naps without crying and fighting them! It was amazing. I don't know why I measure how good the day went by how well the kids napped, but I do. I guess it's because it stresses me out when Journey cries through her nap and because I have to deal with a crabby baby or 3 year old if they don't nap. Journey has been resisting her naps lately. It has been such a fight. I never knew how good I had it with Aspen until now! He was like clockwork at this age.

I'm here!
This is my first post. I never thought I'd ever have a blog, but here I am! Life goes so fast and there are so many small and big things that I don't want to forget about life right now.
We just celebrated Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for this year. Adding Journey to our family this year has been incredible. So much more that I could have hoped for. She has healed a place in me that needed healing and closure. Journey has such a sweet, happy personality and makes us all smile on a daily basis. She absolutely loves Aspen and gets so excited to see him every morning and after naps. She starts jumping in our arms (almost like she is going to jump out) and lets out little noises that one lets out when you can't contain your excitement. She loves her daddy and is such a mommy's girl at the same time. Aspen loves here and gets annoyed by her. Typical brother/sister stuff already. But today as we were driving Aspen and Journey were holding hands across the car. It was so cute.
Well, that's it for today.
