The Year of the Hugo

The past break was full of funness, amazingness, and overall greatness (the only one that is an actual word!). As I woke up the morning of Hugo's birthday I couldn't believe that I had a one year old! How does the time burglar sneak up on me like that?! It has been the greatest year with my guy. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I just didn't realize how awesome it would turn out to be. I wouldn't trade all the rough nights, throw ups, or blow outs for anything because it has been so worth it. There's not a day that I don't smile or laugh because of him. There's not a day that I don't think what a cool little dude he is. There is not a day that I am not grateful that he is in my life.

So, here's to you, Hugo!
Here's to your infectious belly laughs.
Here's to your crazy, cockatoo hair.
Here's to your wonderfully, delicious chubby cheeks.
Here's to another year of you!

Fall Time

Fall blew in today. It decided to blow right in today with cool, crisp weather without even asking me if I was ready for it! It's a good thing that I (read Taylor) unpacked my winter clothes already or fall and I may have been on bad terms with each other...

So, with baby Hugo's (I will call him a baby while I still can!) birthday around the corner I have been busy preparing for his birthday parties. Nothing too crazy, but I had some decorations from my past classrooms that I can recycle so I have actually so far only spent 5.00 on his birthday. However, that is bound to increase since I still have to get stuff for his cupcakes and what not.

Anyway, with the chilly fall wind the spirit of gratefulness has also fluttered into my bones! I am so grateful for so many things, but on top of my list I am grateful for a healthy, wonderful family. I am grateful for the small things that bring a smile to my lips and things that make me bubble over in laughter. Truly, the list of things I am grateful for is endless. Too many times I catch myself wishing my life was different in some aspect or the other, but I live the good life. I really, really do! I just need to appreciate it!

Anyway, the bed is calling me and it is late. Goodnight!
