Jake turns 10!

Who knows if anyone still reads this blog? I find it funny that the website for this blog is "jakesbabyblog.blogspot.com" when clearly he hasn't been a baby in a long long time. I haven't posted anything at all in close to three years. Jake turned 10 years old today. Ten years went by in the blink of an eye. The early days of the blog were such fun way to keep in touch with friends and family near and far, and to watch our babies grow. I think a post with Jake turning 10 is a good way for me to officially close the last chapter of this blog. Signing off is bittersweet. Thank you so much for reading and keeping up with our little family, and leaving sweet comments and words of encouragement for us along the way. You can still find us on Facebook and Instagram, and we would love to stay in touch.

Thank you for being on our journey with us for the last 10 years.

Happy 3rd Birthday Ali!

Arriving at 12:04 am three years ago today, my little Ali Beezer is the best birthday present I've ever received. Yup, I share my birthday with this sweet, crazy, funny, energetic, moody, beautiful, hilarious, creative little girl. I can't believe how much she has grown up in the last three years, and I am terrified how quickly the next three years will probably fly by too. Happy Birthday sweet girl, we love you!

Big Girl Bed!

Ali has been able to climb out of her crib for a while now. She's had a crib tent in place to prevent her from doing it, but once she has an idea in her head, there's not much that can stop her (can't imagine where she gets that from).

Happy Holidays!

The delightful darling wearing brown, front and center, is my joyful angel. It was such a heart-felt moment to see her singing so cheerful with all of the other preschool children, as the moms and dads were watching and recording this moment for eternity. I am so, so proud as I watch her happy smiling face in celebration of the Christmas holiday:

Oh wait, nevermind. Bah humbug!
