bromance.
assignment #26: the bromance. the big one has been waiting forever for this little one. for a few years now, it seemed that it was going to be just him and his daddy and he’d say to me, “mommy, this house has too many girls!” he’s all about balancing the scales, you know. but God in his kindness heard the small boy’s prayers and answered him. much to his parents’ surprise. now the little one is here and has only just begun to discover what a terrific big brother he got. and i am blessed beyond measure to see this new relationship grow through the years. so bring it on.…

where.
i am still determined to finish the joy of love series. and by golly, jonah did join us just in time to be part of the fun! assignment #24: where did you first meet or fall in love? right here in the delivery room, moments after birth. they laid him on my chest and his little face looked up, his eyes searching until they locked on to mine. and in that moment, i was completely, utterly, and irrevocably in love with this brand new little man. also in that moment, i discovered that it doesn’t matter whether it’s your first or fourth or fourteenth (not that i’m planning on finding…
