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!

Four Month Update

Braxten went to the doctor today and is still super healthy!!! 
Weight: 15lb 3oz (37th percentile)
Length: 25 inches (32nd percentile)
His head circumference is in the 20th percentile

         He is growing right on schedule! The doctor was impressed with the improvement of his neck movement, he is able to look all the way to the left now. His neck is getting much stronger as he has more tummy time and he has become more and more curious. When we sit outside he has begun to watch cars drive in and out of the neighborhood and is completely entertained by Rocky. He is giggling more and more which in turn makes us smile every time. Braxten blows bubbles constantly and has started to recognize our faces and voices. There is nothing better than the moment he realizes who you are - his face lights up and so does ours! We continually feel blessed by everything he does.
