Little mini adventures. Or, mini little adventures.

Life right now could be described using many adjectives. The one that's been crossing my mind over and over recently is: fun. Life with our little Judah is just so fun.

One of our first adventures married; Cozumel
I remember not long after Phil and I got married, the thought crossed my mind, It's going to be so fun sharing adventures together. Me and my best friend just taking on the world. And man oh man, has it ever been. Fun, that is. Phil and I have shared so many memories and vacations together in our almost 6 years of marriage. We've had numerous conversations over the years about how vacations, and life in general, would change once we had a baby. Well, I concur that it has changed. But, it has also stayed the same in many ways. It's still FUN!

Jes' wedding
Last weekend was my sister's wedding and I wasn't sure how Judah would do away from home. We'd done one night away before, but not two. Once there, I realized that no matter what the days and nights held for us, I was just so glad to have him there to share in those important memories.

It takes practice perfecting the art of getting out of the house with a newborn. But, these days, I treasure even going on random errands with my little human. He may fuss, he may cry, or he may love every minute of whatever we're doing. I feel ok about any of those options. I feel more and more comfortable as a mom and, in turn, even mundane daily moments are so enjoyable because I'm sharing them with Judah.

We have several vacations planned this summer and I'm looking forward to them in such a special way - Judah's first summer; our first vacations as a little family. Life is such a gift and life with our little mini is just so fun. I treasure the adventures we've already had together and know it has only just begun!
