Today is a big day

Obviously. Today is father's day. A day dedicated to celebrating our own daddies ... and now our husbands who have become fathers. But today is also a big day because it marks 2 years that we have been married. & within those two years, Vance and I have managed to 'adopt' two furbabies, move twice and go from drunken bar-hopping fools ... to parents.




And it's funny ... as soon as Brooke was born, it was instantaneous to see that she resembled Vance. My friends call her his twin. While her looks are changing (we'll see who she ends up looking like later), she has his hair color. His long eyelashes. The color of his eyes. (Well not quite-- Vance's are really light brown and Brooke's are a steely-grey color) She may have my dimples and some say the shape of my eyes ... but she is so clearly a miniature replica of him.

As I previously mentioned, I love baby names. I obsess over baby names & we're not pregnant, let alone trying to have another baby. But as soon soon as Vance latched onto the name Brooke-- that was the end of the discussion on his part. He simply knew. Even though she was unnamed for a day or so (I couldn't commit)-- I asked him, "So what do you think?" ... he looked at her and said "Her name is Brooke." And so it was.


Tell me the picture on the left doesn't make you laugh!?


And so today ... we celebrate our daddies. And our husbands who are daddies. Happy father's day.

I can't believe it's been two years since we walked down the aisle. It feels like a lifetime ago ... anyway, in honor of our anniversary, here is a video from our photographer.
