Now I get to add our newest addition to the loop! :) It's a way to express my thoughts, struggles, and joys...a way to keep my family and friends in the loop...but in the bigger picture, it’s a letter into the future, a letter to my boys. I want them always to know how much I love them. I want them to know that their presence in my life is the very reason I was born.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09307910624998054517noreply@blogger.comBlogger218125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496820590587773149.post-84902412073456250022010-06-08T11:04:00.003-05:002010-06-08T11:30:59.857-05:00What I Wish I KnewSomeone asked me the other day if there was anything I wish I knew before I had Caden.

I had NO idea how much time and energy I would spend cleaning up after just one child.

You get yourself a bowl, curl up on your cozy couch with a fuzzy blanket, and watch an episode of The Amazing Race.On the other hand, "AC" (after children) Ice Cream, is like BEING Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09307910624998054517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496820590587773149.post-29378347610506988892009-04-15T21:03:00.007-05:002009-04-15T22:38:51.754-05:00My Little Guy is Really 2......My sweet little 2 year old, You are TWO!!!

I just simply adore your quirky and fun ways. What would I do if I couldn't laugh at the cute things you do every day? Last night I went to a consignment sale to buy your summer clothes and your daddy called me while I was there asking me where the camera was.
