I accidentally came across this video tonight. I haven’t watched this clip in YEARS. It made me cry and I felt compelled to share it. No filters. No editing. Just a raw moment. One of the few pictures from the last 8 months where I don’t have throw up covering me. Either way, I sure do love this boy and who I am today because of him. Before Owen and I became parents, we had a discussion about what we wanted our lives to look like after we had a child. And although we didn’t know all of the inner workings of having a baby, we knew we didn’t want to stay home and be intimidated by going out with a baby. *Even though it was definitely intimidating at first.* So we have really made it a point to go to sporting events, go on hikes, and take small trips just like we enjoyed doing before becoming parents. Instagram vs Reality ➡️ It was in the 90’s today and I was 🥵. But the weather has been nice so we wanted to get outside. Our original plans at Patapsco State Park didn’t work out but we improvised and found a beautiful 2.5 mile trail at some farm. Since we had Finley and Chloe with us, we took a break in the Jeep’s AC before a picnic at the park. So proud and honored to be Finn’s mom. Happy Mother’s Day. 💐 This was Finn’s first hike facing outward. He LOVES being outside and it makes me so happy. He is constantly smiling and kicking his legs and looking around at everything making coo-ing noises. I want Finley to love the outdoors not because I love the outdoors, but because of how healing sunshine and fresh air are. So far, we’re off to a great start, even though I can’t say that about my hair. Time waits for no one. 🥹 Happy 1 year ‘Gotcha Day’ to our Chloe girl. She has been the biggest handful since the minute we adopted her, but the countless laughs have made us so thankful she’s in our lives. Dogs are truly the best. 🥹
