A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

That morning, we got all bundled up (Tucker too), and went outside to enjoy the scene around our neighborhood. I couldn't stop snapping pictures of our snow-covered home. Though we live in a somewhat small neighborhood, it is bustling with children. Something about the snow brings our the child in everyone,...
