his and hers

*my sweet friend does a post like this every few months...and i thought i'd steal her idea and try it out for myself

he is enjoying a break from teaching
she is loving her one year old is finally sleeping through the night

he is marking up his calendar with athletic camps and summer ball games
she is taking the summer one. day. at. a. time.

he is soaking up every second he has with his little boys
she is trying to catch up on much needed sleep

he is becoming frustrated with teenagers
she is encouraging him to keep up the good work

he is letting her run off some steam at night
she is pounding the pavement in order to make it through another day with a whiny toddler

he is counting down the days to the beach
she is making lists of what to pack and stressing out a bit

he is praying for ways to connect and encourage
she is anxious about who her little boys will become

he is sweating in his ford focus with 3 hubcaps
she is taking advantage of her automatic doors in her van

he and she are trying to remember Jesus is the center of it all.

ty turns one.

here is a snapshot of the birthday party for ella and ty. they are a week and one day apart so we decided to celebrate together. we opted for a circus theme for "ella-phant" and "ty-ger". we was a lot of fun. give mom and em all the credit for the decorations...i brought the hot dogs. :)
