7 years and 1 week


7 years and one week ago I was married to my Sweetheart in the Idaho Falls Temple. I couldn't have asked for a better man. He is hard working, kind, considerate, thoughtful, loving. He would do anything for me and our children. I love Chant with all my heart and I am so thankful to be his wife.

He's still making me laugh 7 years later. Happy Anniversary Honey. I can't wait to see what the next 7 years will bring!

One week is a milemark for another exciting event. We have been a binky-free home since last Sunday. I have to be honest, I cried when we decided it was time. I cried not because I am baby hungry. Oh no, I'm good :) I cried because my baby is no longer a baby. Diapers are the only thing left. Porter had been biting through them and it had become a safety issue. So last Sunday night we gathered them all up and threw them away. Porter cried but then Chant turned on a tape of him reading some stories and he was quiet. It was a miracle because the girls cried every night for at least an hour for the first week. Porter has done wonderful! He hasn't cried at nighttime at all, well, not longer than about 3 minutes. Naptime has been the hard one. He only napped two days last week. But we are on a three-day napping streak now, so I think we are good. Here's hoping! We love you Porter Boy!

So I knew Chant from High school and college and came across this blog and recognized him. Such a cute family! So fun to see what he is doing. (I am writing this assuming you, the reader, are the wife) So would love to keep in touch. We have a blog
3menandalady1.blogspot.com. (bad at updating but we do have one)
Again fun to read and catch up.

Happy Anniversary you two! I forget that we are just one week apart. I'm so glad you two got married. We hope that we can share some anniversaries together sometime down the road. Wouldn't that be fun! Maybe Brynn will be old enough by then to babysit all the kiddies :0).

And Emi just weened herself at 8 months from the binki...but I hope we are that lucky with this one. I keep forgetting, this one will not be a mirror image/personality of Emi!!
