18 Month Update | James

This little guy is growing up so fast! It feels like he's learning new things every day. It's so exciting to see his little mind expand.

Here are some photos I took of him the other morning. Isn't he a little hunk? :)

He's *technically* 19 months here...close enough!

The Story of the Hollyhocks

"We have a couple of options. We could live in our own trailer in a trailer court...or we could live in my grandparents' basement."

These were the two housing options that Reuben offered me when we were engaged.

I was a little apprehensive about both options. Neither were what I was expecting as our first home (thanks to the inflated expectations I had due to my conservative homeschool ideals for a young man).

We settled on the basement, even though living in someone else's house was not very appealing to me. I had heard stories of grandparents interfering and generally being annoying to the grandchildren that lived with them.
