I would never...

I would never delay this...





...not for any amount of education, or vacation, not for "more time alone as newlyweds", not for any financial reason, or a bigger apartment/house...


I would never delay this...





...not for more money, or the opportunity to travel, not until "we're finished with
school", or until "We can afford it"...


I would NEVER delay the ability/blessing/opportunity of motherhood. That's why we're hear on Earth right?



I would never delay this...







...there is no greater blessing on Earth than to be a mother. We are blessed with this opportunity. No education or amount of money should stop us from taking advantage of the ability to procreate. Heavenly Father put us on Earth to be mothers and fathers, not doctors, nurses, travelers, bread winners or to spend our prime years for childbearing to vacation and spend time "alone" getting to know your spouse (that's what dating is for).




Why then, do we delay the most precious gift from our Heavenly Father?





I would never delay this...

flowers, chocolate and slobber

Paul and I planned to celebrate Valentines tomorrow since we both have a night class tonight. Well Paul couldn't help himself, and I'm not complaining. He came home from school this morning with 2 bags of chocolate (one for me, one for Caleb) and a dozen roses! My heart skipped a beat! :)
Well, I thought it would be cute to try to get some Valentine pictures of Caleb. This is what I got:





Yes, that's chocolate drool...Not such a successful photoshoot.

A couple days ago I made pancakes for breakfast. Caleb got his own but I don't think he ate much.



Caleb and Dad at the park.


Caleb has learned to pull himself up from a sitting position. He gets so proud of himself! He'll get so excited he's done it that he'll let go to wave his hands in excitment and fall, I guess he'll learn eventually. This is him after he'd pulled himself up in his crib after a nap.

1. After vacuuming you find a hair ball the size of a softball in the container.
2. You have to buy drano every few months to unclog the shower
3. It takes you 15 minutes to pick which lotion you want to put on your hands
4. Every meal includes fruits and vegies
