Fast Facts about Chris:
He is super cute :-)
He is adventurous
He loves to camp (he says this is why he decided to date me...because I "tent camped"!
He loves our girls...unconditionally!
He is the BEST diaper changer I have EVER seen! This is so funny to admit, and I have never told him..but I have never seen a man so thoroughly clean and fasten a diaper so securely!! (Ok..I'm as good as dead now for telling that..te he he)
He loves our animals....hey, that is a good quality!
He has a wonderful family and support system....
He is a believer and puts God and his Family First
He loves to travel
He is as spontaneous as I am....which sometimes is a deadly combination! Most of the time (such as our quick courtship and wedding...) it turns out beautifully. We look at is at "We know what we want...and we go for it then and there!"
He likes my brother......(that may sound funny, but it is important that siblings and spouses get along! My family is VERY important to me)
Funnier yet......he likes my daddy!
He works hard to provide for our family, so that I can stay home and raise our girls. It is a blessing to work for myself, on my own hours and be able to raise our family.
He is a family man....who now prefers to stay home and sit by our own bonfire and firepit, cook out and hang out as a family vs. going out.
He loves to hang out with me on the porch after our girls are in bed just talking, listening to the owls, crickets and frogs! We are country kids and love nature.....nothing is more soothing than sitting on your own front porch taking a deep breath and soaking up the night.
He would go to the ends of the Earth to make me happy!
xoxoxoxo to you Christopher!!!

She is a great eater...she eats about anything and everything....aside from Jello. She will spit it out immediately. Must be the texture.

I've really enjoyed the past 10 minutes viewing your blog and getting to know your family from what you've shared. I started reading, and initially I thought I shouldn't be viewing some private family blog, mostly because it never feels right or enjoyable. But before I knew it I got to the end.
You have such a beautiful family and a beautiful heart for showing so much love that even someone like me, who is in a different place and life, got to sense it. It felt really good coming over here, and i'm glad that I did. You're blog is one of the most genuine expressions of gratitude and love.
after being here, something feels different in me inside. it's as if i've gotten a dose of happiness. and it feels wonderful.
and you aretruly blessed :)
with love,
F, from Kuwait
