How it all began

Ralph and I have been together since the summer of 2008 but it all began in 1992. Ralph's sister, Colleen and I have been best friends since 6th grade and we grew up at each other's houses throughout the years. Ralph was always around but being the younger brother was forbidden to be around us (not that he wanted to make up dances with us). We said hi during high school and when I needed a jersey to wear to school on Fridays, Ralph was nice enough to let me wear his. He visited Kent State while I was there once to look at the football team and campus but decided against attending. He joined the Marine Corps and we spoke through emails every now and then just to see how the other was doing. Life went on and our paths finally crossed again in 2008 when Colleen invited me to their families yearly 4th of July party. Ralph was home on leave from Iraq and I just moved back to Cincinnati. This time when we saw each other things seemed a little different and the rest is history. In December 2011 we were engaged, July 2012 we were married, April 2013 we bought our first house and March 2014 we had our first child, Braxten! Each year has been more blessed than the last and we are so excited to see where our future takes us!

3 Months!!!

I am 3 Months Old!!!


  • I weigh 13lb 11oz
  • I am 23.75 inches long
  • I sleep 10-11 hours at night
  • I have learned to blow bubbles (raspberries)
  • I grab toys and can transfer them from hand to hand
  • I coo constantly and giggle on occasion (it is the best sound ever!)
  • I am close to rolling over when I get mad but not quite yet
  • I am working on Tummy Time but I don't like it
  • My neck is getting much better - I look to the left on my own!
  • My eyes still are not quite brown, green or gray 
  • I enjoy sitting on Mommy and Daddy's laps to read books and watch tv
  • I still love being outside!
Braxten was not very happy in the beginning and we got the best picture of the poor pouty lip! Another month has passed quickly! I went back to work and Ralph loves his Daddy days, this week Missi is going to begin watching Braxten too! We are so lucky to be able to make our schedules work in a way to have family watching him! Life continues to get better and better due to the smiles and laughs that Braxten has brought to our lives!
