Well, it actually began awhile ago. 4 years, 2 months, and 8 days ago, to be exact. Karl and I met in Colorado Springs, CO while I was in the Army and were married about 2 months after we met. Some say it was a little too soon but here we are 4 years later with two boys, still going strong! Donovan was born February 28th, 2011 and Cooper was born October 20th, 2013. We've moved around a few times since I left the Army in 2011 and in October 2013, we moved in with Karl's parents in Moro, Oregon. Karl got a job as a Fuels Driver at Mid Columbia Producers and I am currently working on my B.A. in Hospitality Management, as well as staying home with the kids. Donovan goes to daycare two days a week (to give me a break and to give him a break!) and enjoys learning his numbers and colors. In fact (not to brag...okay, just a bit!) he is a month shy of three years old and can already count to ten and recognizes the numbers! Cooper is the happy baby! He has a smile every morning and he thinks his brother is the most hilarious kid in the world! He rolled over on his own at three months old and is now determined to figure out this whole "sitting" thing! *sigh* why are they growing so fast? I love being a mother and wouldn't change it for the world...however, I don't think I will EVER miss the two year old phase! My sons can be the most fun and two seconds later, the MOST frustrating! I'm sure every mom can relate to that!!!
So I end this first entry as my oldest is hollering for me from the same room his baby brother is sleeping in (and hopefully has stayed asleep). I look forward to writing many more entries and hopefully reading some positive and supportive comments!
God Bless!
