A balancing act
As I was getting ready this morning, I saw some text on the front of, "Parents" magazine that said something along the lines of, keep your marraige alive. I started thinking back over this past year and how marraige is such a private topic. Especially problems in your marraige, its like where all scared we might end up on the cover of people's magazine. Now I am not saying we should not have degrees of modesty when it comes to our own personal relationships but I wonder how many couples have thrown in the towel because they thought imperfections equals failure. Imperfections happen to be the key to relationships, working through them. Maybe for some time imperfections stay at bay but usually only for a short time. Many people told me that usually the first year of marraige is the hardest, ha not for us, to me this past year our first year with a child has been the hardest but also one of the best. I think marraige mirrors our spirtual relationship with God as he uses our hurts and pitfalls to refine us. Our hard times in marraige call us to refine our relationship with each other and examine our priorities. The reason why parenthood has been our hardest era is because it calls for a balance of priorities, for us to keep our spouses first and children second. A parent child bond is so strong it makes love in general hard to master . More to come in next post!

Dillon is the big ONE continued
Pardon my phone, it cut me off so I had to go ahead and publish that post so here it is continued.
I guess you always think about what you will teach your children and i just never realized how much he would teach me. I love him so very much and saying thank you Lord will never be enough.
D still only has two teeth, he is on similac soy and we tried soy silk milk and it made him spit up way to much so the GI dr has told us to stick with the forumla. He tried cake for the first time this weekend and liked the icing more than the cake.

Dillon is the big ONE
Wow has it really been a year since I had my little man, on Saturday the 21st we had a birthday party and alot of friends and family came. It was so nice see everyone and Dillon loved it, he ran around trying to get into everyones food and drinks and loved his cake. With a little help from dad he got into the cake with both hands. It was so fun to celebrate him as a person and the gift he is to all of us.
Dillon has taught me so much about being a parent and a wife,friend, and daughter. He has taught me so much about being selfless even in the times that I do not want to be and would love to sleep in and do my own thing. He has taught what true unconditional love is and I find myself saying things like if we get in a car accident as long as he is ok then all is well. You lose focus of worrying about yourself and own wellbeing but in

11month old, Easter, and my birthday>looking foward
Hard to beleive Dillon is now an eleven month old and I am now twentyfour.This past weeekend was easter and also my birthday. We visited the mall and went to the beach. Easter for many means easter egg hunts and baskets of goodies. I often wonder if God rolls his eyes or scratches his head when he looks at this. It seems innocent enough but in many ways its just another way to take the focus off of the real meaning while also feeding the commercial america by purchasing these things. We stayed home Sunday because to be honest i get tired of people who only come on holidays. I guess its great that they are at church because its an oppurtunity for the beleiver to witness. We also did not do an Easter basket for Dillon instead we briefly talked about the fact that Jesus was sent by his father God to die on a cross for what we did wrong and when his followers went to the tomb he was not there instead he was with his father in heaven. Not the best explanation but consider my audience is a one year old.

Took a mini break from blogging while we moved, Kevin has made a total job change from law enforcement to aircraft mechanic. We were able to find a home to rent for a year until we decided where we would like to live in the area. Moving was hectic and I am still trying to unpack but making progress day by day.
Dillon is close to walking and taking his first steps, he had his gastroentrologist appt three weeks age and the dr said the next step would be to scope him while under anesthetia which all agree is a last resort. Its looking as if all his problems are a mix of acid reflux and allergies.
*Nine month appt was yesterday and D is wieghing in at 18lbs and 7oz and 28inches long. His new dr presribed allegra for his allergies
