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 5 months old!

Kane is 5 months old!



Our sweet baby girl is already 5 months old! Time has been flying as she is getting so much bigger in size and personality! She is so happy although if you are a stranger you would never know it. She keeps her straight poker face on when we are near new people. Kane is now...

  • 15lb 4oz (on our scale at home)
  • becoming a brown eyed girl - still flecks of green and blue
  • smiling whenever a familiar face talks to her (it takes very little time to break her shell)
  • talking loudly, without looking at her it isn't obvious if she is happy or mad - normally happy
  • wearing 6 month clothes and filling them well
  • has rolls upon rolls that we LOVE!
  • sleeps at least 12 hours a night if not 13 
  • naps like a champ! She 2-3 great naps a day and sometimes a quick cat nap at night
  • is finding her hands and thinks they are fascinating
  • is playing with her feet
  • is working on sitting up but leans pretty far forward, she still loves to stand
  • smiles and laughs at Braxten like he is the best thing on earth
  • she giggles and gets overly excited to see her Daddy - its adorable!
Kane, we love you more than you will ever know! Thank you for the joy you bring into our lives each and every day. We are so thankful that you are such a healthy happy ball of smiles and laughter. 
You are one amazing little girl! We love you!
