Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely-in a pretty and well-preserved body-but rather a skid in a broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"-anonymous

Green.
Everything is green and beautiful right now. It's been raining here! Those of you who dont live in CO might not know it's a desert here most of the year. Anything that isnt watered doesnt live. So for the few weeks of spring we have, we are going to enjoy the soft lush grass and beautiful greens and blues. At least Im going to. Jackson enjoys the swing, slide, and sand no matter how wet with rain they are.
My husband and I. We enjoy being outdoors- since having Jackson, life has changed for the better. Instead of sleeping under the stars next to the bonfire, we enjoy cuddling with our 1 year old son next to the fireplace. Instead of climbing fourteener mountains, we enjoy walking around the lake with the stroller. And instead of playing fetch with the dog everyday after 12 hours of work, I enjoy staying home with my son and watching him learn new things. We are happy and content with our new normal because life with a child is more than we could have imagined.... We have our ups and downs, but In Christ Alone Our Hope Is Found.
Jackson. 1 year. Loves reading books, climbing on things he's not supposed to, and playing with mom's kitchen gadgets. A perfect day for him is when the neighbor kids are outside and he can watch them play their big kid games. Oh and a 30 minute nap might be included in that perfect day, but not a second longer!
I love Jackson's smile- great pic!
