About Me

Oslo, Norway
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Time Flies By!

Tomorrow Reagan turns 6 months! I can't believe how fast time is going. I LOVE the stage she is in now, she is SO fun. People keep telling me that it just gets better and better. You think they are in the best stage until you get to the next one and its even better!

Every time I hear this song I get a lump in my throat. I love it, it's so true, each phase does fly by. Already I am forgetting how she was when we first brought her home. All the sleepless nights, her screaming because she was such a colicky baby, me not getting to take a bath or brush my teeth, not going out in public..... so maybe I haven't completely forgotten about it just yet! But I know as time goes by we will soon forget and then I will be dropping her off at Pre-School. (tear) I promise I am not this emotional ALL the time, just the past week, maybe its her ALREADY turning 6 months old!!


Darius Rucker
It Wont Be Like This For Long


He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"

"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
