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!

Snuggles

This is my favorite part of the day! Braxten snuggles so well after his bottle when he is tired. Mommy and Daddy take a few extra minutes to cherish the moment before we put him down for bed. We love you buddy!

Nov 12

Last night Ralph was putting Brax to bed and as he was burping him B started to laugh so hard he would throw his arms around Ralph's neck and give him a huge hug!!! We have such a sweet little man!!
What a happy man today! Braxten slept great last night got up and played hard for 2 hours and took and hour nap. We played again for 2.5 hours and was ready for another nap. Another 2.5 hours later he was still napping with no signs of waking up so I had to wake him up! What a sleeper :)

Trip to Cleveland and a tooth

We took a quick weekend trip to Cleveland! CJ and Braxten entertained each other and showed real cousin love! It was wonderful. Sarah and I went to get pedicures and shopped a bit while Missi got some grandchild time. On Saturday night while B was getting a bath I checked for teeth and he has his first tooth!!!!! It's just popping through on the bottom but he proved he sure can bite hard :) Ohio State beat MSU to finish off a great Saturday! On the way home we stopped in Columbus and got to have lunch with Aunt Fran. Braxten was amazing all weekend and now we are home hanging out with Daddy! Braxten smile when he sees Ralph lights up the room. He loves his Daddy! Thank you CJ and Sarah for letting us visit for the weekend, can't wait to see you again in a few weeks!
