9 years old

Another year has come and gone. Ezra is 9. Last year in single digits. Growing up. Not sure I'm ready for this.
Ezra, as I'm writing this, I'm watching you play minecraft. You're itching a mosquito bite. Also, asking if you can fly to Vegas by yourself. You've probably asked that at least 20 times today. It's kind of driving me crazy. Today, I watched you play with Hank. I watched you calm him down and make him laugh by making funny faces. You did it with love. You did it with confidence. I watched you play with Lincoln today. I am SO happy you two have each other. You are a wonderful big brother. Lincoln loves and adores you. I love and adore you. I'm so grateful you are my son. Love you bud!

Dirty thirty

Oh how I love birthdays. I love celebrating another year of life. I thought turning 30 was going to be rough but honestly, I'm grateful to be getting older. I'm grateful to have lived 30 years of this thing called life.
Highlights of 29-
-Giving birth to my third baby
-Moving to a different country
-Living and experiencing a new country
-Stepping out of my comfort zone multiple times
-Aaron starting and finishing his 1st year of med school
-Meeting new people and making some great friends
-Doing hard things! Like things I never thought I could do and rock it:)

Some lows of 29-
-Saying goodbye to friends and family
-Saying goodbye to my husband for 4 months
-Being mom and dad for 4 months. I have serious respect for military spouses.

All in all a great way to end my 20's. Life is good
