I wasn’t able to get on here yesterday and write a Happy Birthday post for my dear hubby. Seth turned 27 years old yesterday! I don’t know what I would do without this man in my life. We really were meant for each other and I am TRULY a better person because of him.

I wanted to share with you why I love Seth so much. These are just “some” of the amazing qualities he possess. He is brilliant, talented, unselfish, caring, compassionate, sensitive, loving, honoring, funny, daring, patient, kind, generous…I could go on and on. Seth never ceases to amaze me. He can always figure out a computer problem, design the most creative logo, produce the most amazing video, learn how to do many handy man jobs around the house.

If he doesn’t know how to do something, he will teach himself by either researching, reading or watching a tutorial. He is alway willing to help others, he is a wonderful teacher. He never grips or complains when I ask him to tell me again how to do something that he has already taught me 50 times. He was the REASON I started my own Professional Organizing business. I would and could have NEVER done it without him. He supported me the whole time, even when my family and friends weren’t so sure about it in the beginning.

He is such a kind and considerate husband. He is always looking after my needs. He is the sweetest, most loving father to Abel. I fell more deeply in love with him when he became Abel’s father. I could go on and on…this post just doesn’t do Seth the justice he deserves, but I wanted to let everyone know how much I adore my husband, Seth.

I love you baby and Happy Birthday!

It’s that time again.

My college girlfriends and I try to get together at least twice a year for a little reunion. We have been doing it for the past 5 years. Everyone told us we wouldn’t be able to keep it up, but we proved them ALL wrong. We have met in DC, VA, PA, NJ and I’m sure there will be many more places as the years go on. They are so graciously coming to my house this weekend since I wasn’t quite ready to leave Abel all weekend (Plus, Abel would not have done well without me…he needs me for food.) It will be a grand time. We won’t get much sleep, we will eat too much junk food, but we will burn a ton of calories from laughing.

They will kill me for posting this one, but I had to:

We will miss Christin. She isn’t able to make this Nov. Fest. Please, Please pray for her. Her husband had cancer last year (at the age of 30) and for the last year he has been in remission. They just found more cancer in his body this week. Christin and Dave have been through so much in their 5 years of marriage. Please join with me in lifting up Dave and Christin. Christin, I love you and I admire what a strong women of faith you are. (by the way, Happy Anniversary!)

I can’t wait to see you girls!

Abel is also so excited he can’t sleep….literally…why is he the worst napper???

Abel goes WILD when we put him in the tub. Literally. He goes CRAZY!!! He knows what is about to happen the second I place him on the bathroom floor to start his bath. He hears the water turn on and he starts cooing, then I take off his dirty clothes and diaper and he starts kicking and keeps kicking as I place his adorable naked body in the tub. Within seconds most of the water in his little tub is gone, because he kicks and splashes like a mad man. It cracks us up. It is one of my favorite things to do with him. I have to be prepared that I will get drenched during this process, but I don’t care. I love it. I love seeing him get all excited in the tub.

For the past few weeks he has been fascinated with his toes. To the point that I take off his socks in the car so he can be distracted from the hatred he has for his car seat and focus on what he thinks is his best feature…his precious feet!

He has mastered not only sucking toes on one foot, but two.

Just stop and take a look at all those adorable rolls. Don’t you just want to squeeze them all!

Tasting his yummy pee-bath water. He turns his head to try and lap up the dirty water. Gross Abel!

Guilty look.

If he can’t get his toes, his fingers are his second choice.

Or why not both the fingers and toes.

Getting dried off. Don’t be fool. He screams shortly after this when he realizes bath time is over.

This one is a little blurry, but I couldn’t resist showing you his sweet face.

Hopefully, these photos put on smile on your face. Enjoy your Wednesday.

Charlotte is the daughter of my dear friend, Janice. (Note: I have had 5 close girl friends have little girls over the last 6 months, so needless to say, Abel definitely will have many beauties to choose from.) I am thrilled to say that as of this morning, my neighbor (also, my walking buddy) is having a boy today! YAY, finally a “guy” playmate for Abel.

Janice and Charlotte graced us with their presences and of course we had to take photos of Abel and Charlotte together.

I love Charlotte’s face in this one. She looks as if she is saying, “Eww, you put me next to a boy!”

I love all of Charlotte’s facial expressions and how Abel makes the same “what’s going on” look with drool dripping off his face in every photo.

As I was writing this post, Abel woke up from his morning nap. I love getting him from his naps because when I walk in his room, he is always straining his neck, peeking over his mesh bumper pad to watch for me to see when I am going to come in and get him. It is so cute! I can’t stand it! I scoop him up and attack him with kisses and he grabs my face and gives me wet, open-mouth kisses. It doesn’t get much better then that. Oh, I love him so much!!!
