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!

Kane is 4 months old!




Our baby girl is growing so fast!!! 4 months already!!

KANE IS...
  • 25 inches (same as Braxten at this age)
  • 15lb 11 oz (bigger than her brother)
  • talking so much with squeals, bubbles and the most beautiful laughter ever!
  • sleeping 10-12 hours a night, eating and then going back to sleep for a few hours. Bedtime around 8pm, eats between 6-8 then goes back to sleep until at least 10! 
  • eats 6 ounces every 3 hours 
  • starting to grab toys and bring them to her mouth using both hands
  • has found her feet when she lays on her back and thinks they are pretty funny
  • sleeps on her belly
  • is no longer swaddled (which makes Mommy sad that her baby isn't quite a little baby anymore)
  • wants to see people at all times when she is awake and won't stop smiling if someone is talking to her
  • is working on sitting up but those darn rolls get in the way (We love every one of them!!)
  • still loves to watch Braxten (and TV) but he is her all day entertainment. Her face lights up when he pays attention to her and gives her kisses (or smells her toes)


Kane you are a beautiful, amazing little girl! We cannot imagine life without you and thank you for all the joy you have already brought into so many people's lives. You are a strong and independent little lady, we look forward to watching you grow and continue to change the lives of those around you. We love you more than you can ever imagine! Happy 4 months baby girl!!!
