How fun! You are getting close to it with two active children playing around your place. :) And hey, this backyard happens to be for sale..... :):) Julie: You have the same dream? How fun!

Only I'm not as close to realizing as you, in one aspect. No backyard, although I would love to have one. I do have 2 kids however which at least gets me closer to having kids playing around all the time. It's just inside. Oh well, just another downside to apartment living. One of these years, maybe we will have a house. I have a similar dream. Only I’m not as close to realizing as you, in one aspect. No backyard, although I would love to have one.

When I opened the dryer and saw a bunch of tiny clothes I couldn't help but smile! :) ----- Tearese: Thank you, Tearese--what a kind thing to say! That's so interesting to me that you used to swear you wouldn't get married and have kids. After a couple rough relationships, I was starting to question whether I wanted to get married. But I knew I still wanted to have kids, so I wasn't sure how that was going to work... Then fortunately, I met Prince Charming, who re-instilled my faith in men and relationships and was the best decision I ever made. -- I'm glad you liked the lighting! To be honest, I don't remember thinking too much about the lighting when I took the picture--but fortunately it turned out okay. :) -- This is our old (current) house. We hope to be in our new one in a couple weeks. Alycia: This feeling was similar to the first time I washed a load of Bubbers’ new clothes before he was born.

When I was a kid I swore I was never going to get married, or if I did I wouldn't have kids. I've obviously changed my stance since then, but I sometimes struggle with it on bad days. My mom wasn't a stay-at-home mom (out of necessity!) she was a great mom, but sometimes I want to rebel and I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing! By the way, I love the back lighting in your pics...thats my favorite kind of lighting. You are definitely going to be the best mom as your kids are growing up!

Because often I sit back and look at Bubbers and think, "I love Bubbers and I'm so glad we have him," but I can't shake the feeling that he's not all there is--that our family isn't complete. Does that make sense? -- And yes, (LOL!)--we're definitely planning on doubling our ranks! :):) (You totally crack me up!!) :) ----- Charming: Thank you, Love--I take that as the highest compliment! I love Sister Beck.

You get to have so much one-on-one and all the time in the world to figure things out together. Its a whole new world. But having number two is a completely special too, and the experience has its own kind of specialness. We felt like a family before Grant, but now we feel like we are really parents. Its hard to explain, but the feeling of it is why you took those pictures. Does that make sense? So... are you guys planning on doubling your ranks, or what? Sorry, that was a little personal.
