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 8 Months!!!

Sweet Baby Kane is 8 months old and time continues to fly by! She is rolling like a crazy in her crib and sleeps with a ball and a bear that Daddy gave her. She can entertain herself in there for 30-45 minutes after she wakes up which is wonderful. She loves her food and her bottle still. She screams at the top of her lungs just to hear her voice and smiles throughout most of the day. She still has 2 teeth and it doesn't look like more are pushing through. She loves her sleep and her brother even more! We aren't crawling yet but she is up on all fours just waiting for the right time. All of these pictures look so much alike but I love them all and couldn't chose. She liked to hold and eat the sign this month also dropping it over the edge and looking for it. She is an observant little girl!!!









               Kane's schedule:
7:30 wake up and eats a 7oz bottle
10:00 goes down for a nap that has been lasting 2 hours!!!
12 wakes up and eats baby food
1:00 eats a 4-6 oz bottle
2:30 goes down for a second nap for average nap of 1.5 hours

6-6:30 goes down for one more cat nap of 45 minutes (most nights)
7:00 wakes up happy and ready to play
7:45 another 6 oz bottle of milk
8:00 off to dream land until the next morning!!!
