My Family...

I have been thinking about my family a lot lately and how lucky I am. They are all my best friends in the world. I just thought it would be nice to pay tribute to these crazy, beautiful people. Pictures of my new family (Morgan's side) to come...


My dad and I are more similar than we like to admit. I love him more than he will ever know! He is kind, generous, funny, smart, handsome and the hardest worker I have ever met!


My mom and I know we are alike and we think it is funny! She is the strongest woman I know. I want her strength. She is hilarious, smart, beautiful and wise.


Oh Melissa! I have always looked up to her. Whenever she is around it feels like a constant party. I miss her when we go too long without seeing each other. Melissa is crazy, beautiful and stronger than she knows, oh and did I mention crazy!?


Ryan: I was Ryan's side kick growing up. I basically did and said anything he told me to do. He is laid back, sarcastic, funny, a brilliant writer, and amazing father and one of my best friend's in the world.
Bridget: Bridgie is my heart. She was MY sidekick and she did and said anything I told her to do growing up. She has grown up to be such a beautiful, smart, hilarious and thoughtful woman. I love her so much!


Oh my Angela. Angela and I played basketball together in high school and became best friends. She fell in love with my brother and now I get to keep her forever. I love Angela because she is always up for anything (even going to Taco Bell in Harlem during a blizzard) She is one of the smartest people I know and she is an amazing mother to Ben and Elliott.


Eric makes my sister very happy and I am so honored to have him as a part of our family. I am so glad we got to spend quality time with Eric in Ireland. He showed us such a great time! He is funny, sweet and caring and I love him very much!



Little Benjamin. I can't believe he will be starting kindergarten this year! I remember when he was born (he tried to escape out of his little bed). He is such a thoughtful, sweet, silly and extremely interesting little boy. I love his kisses and hugs. I adore this little man!


Then there is Elliott. Our littlest member of the family. He has a big personality. He is very little considering how big everyone in the family is. I love his skinny little legs and his wispy brown hair. He is very loving and gives open mouth kisses. I love him so!


Sometimes I find it hard to put into words how much I love Morgan. He makes me feel safe and secure. I am content, not the I have settled content that I have felt before, but the happy content. Everything else in my life can be going wrong, but I know I have Morgan to come home to each night. He is my everything.
