Kevin & Brittany's Wedding

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being with Kevin & Brittany as they were married! The wedding was absolutely perfect and completely them! I feel like every other sentence out of all of our mouth's was "oh, of course they are doing ______, that is SO them." From the fact that Kevin had 2 ladies standing on his side, to the music at the ceremony, to the personalized wax stamp on their favors, it was truly a reflection of them!
Another unique part of this wedding was how relaxing the whole weekend was! I've been in others where it felt like we were rushing from one event to the next, but this was truly a weekend-long adventure. Saturday was spread out - the rehearsal was at 2pm, but the dinner wasn't until 7pm, so we got to watch some football and play by the lake for the afternoon. Then on Sunday the wedding was also at 2pm, but dinner wasn't served until 5:30pm, so they had lawn games set out for all the guests, along with a bluegrass band, a fire pit and snacks. It really felt like the entire weekend we actually got to see one another and catch up. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted, so I "borrowed" some from Instagram #mansfieldBKwedding
I am so grateful that I got to be part of their special day. Kevin is by far the happiest I have ever seen him and I just absolutely love Brittany. They honestly bring out the best in each other and I know they are going to have lots of years of laughter and adventure together!

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...
