Day 14 : Intentionally Remembering

I talked about intentionally remembering in one of my last posts, so today - exactly one month before Judah turns two - I am taking my own advice. (And taking my advice will always keep you up waaaaaaaaaaaay past your bedtime.)

I'm a little bit in love with the boy. Can you tell?

Played with our sweet Erin tonight - it's always a good time to be with friends.
Last month of being a one year old.
