soaking it in


This is a picture of Tres and me back in high school. If you would have told us then what our lives would be like now I'm pretty sure we would have laughed out loud and told you that you were crazy...

Today Tres and I decided to be brave and go grocery shopping with both kids. Surprisingly, they did great and we finished in record time! Driving away I couldn't help but laugh with Tres at how our life has turned out. At 21 and 22 we have 2 children, a "family" car, and our idea of a nice night out consists of dairy queen with the kids and talking about how good the new seat protector looks on the back seat.
With one kid you can push a stroller and still feel like you look semi cool and hip, but that is not the case with a double stroller. It's big and bulky, and screams "I watch Barney and Dora all day long". The music in our car has gone from top 40 to "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "If You're Happy And You Know It".

When I pictured our life together I would have never in a million years imagined us married with 2 children and living in Alaska of all places, but to tell you the truth I wouldn't have it any other way. God has blessed us so much. His way truly is greater than anything we could ever dream up. This is definitely not the life I expected, but I am soaking in every minute of it.

And Ethan Makes Four...









So life has gotten pretty interesting around here these last few weeks. Ethan Drake Cannada was born on July 31st at a whopping 10 lbs 11 oz. He is absolutely precious and fits in perfectly. Emeri is smitten with her new baby brother... she's always wanting to hug and kiss him. Every time he cries she immediately runs to him and says "Ethan! What's wrong?!". They're a sweet duo... I can't wait to see how their relationship deepens in years to come.

I was so happy to have my mom here for two weeks! She was such a huge help with everything and I was sad to see her go. Tres goes back to work on Monday, so I will be left to care for Em and Ethan by myself (I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tad bit nervous!)

I will update a bit more later. It's time for Ethan's feeding and then off to bed for all of us.
