Save the Date Challenge

I am so glad that our church created the Save the Date challenge! The challenge? Date your spouse by going on at least 3 dates a month {one a week} for a year. Mike and I have enjoyed staying committed to date nights throughout our marriage, but this forced us to be even more intentional about it this year. And since we were preparing for babies, we wanted to be sure we set aside some time to enjoy our time together as a couple before we became a family of four!

I thought it would be fun to look back over the dates we had in 2016. I enjoyed coming up with fun, new ideas, even when we had to get creative with home dates toward the end of the year :)

The Twin Z pillow has been SO helpful! I am so glad that babies like it too :)

"This tiny noise maker has invaded my world and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's loud and smelly, and a total attention hog. And there's another one just like it! But mom and dad seem to love them, so I think I'm supposed to guard them." - Sasha {aka guard dog}

Just hanging out with this girlie early in the morning :)

Out bottle set up in the kitchen...good times.

I had much better luck with the Ergo carrier. Little man loved it, though he is a tiny heater!

He has the BEST facial expressions :)

I prayed so much for sweet moments like this...

We got this fun gift basket, but it didn't say who it was from...I hope the gift giver comes forward so we can say thank you!

With my girls...puppy will always be my first {fur} baby.

Multi-tasking like a boss HA! This is what it looks like to get board packages out these days :)

Date #38: A drive to see Christmas lights with babes sleeping in the back seat #wcsavethedate16

Yes, that's a 50 degree swing in less than a 24 hour period. Oh Texas.

Y'all. My friend Jill wrote a book! So excited to have her sign it :)

"You mean to tell me I'm super cute?? // Yeah, I am!"

Eli had zero interest in taking photos, Maddie hated her cute bow, and these two refuse to take photos together. So much for the cute Pinterest photos...

{iPhone Rewind} :: November

I apologize in advance for the baby photo overload...but it was their birth month, and they have pretty much been our entire focus this month...and I just couldn't help it :)
