Elias Meets Adeline

by jessicaturner on November 5, 2011

We filmed Elias meeting Adeline on my ipad and I just realized that we never uploaded it. He is so darn cute. I thought some of you may enjoy this little video.

Quick Recap: First Day Back at Work

by jessicaturner on August 16, 2011

Yesterday went great. YAY! Adeline took three bottles from Matthew with little trouble. She didn’t nap much at all, but she did sleep through the night! Elias had fun, despite Daddy being a bit preoccupied with the girl. When I got home, I gave him some extra attention (we did a painting project after dinner). [...]

An Amazing Dad

by jessicaturner on July 28, 2011

When I first fell in love with him, it was his honesty that captured my heart. His love for the Lord. His ability to really listen. His wisdom. His sense of humor. But three months shy of our seven year anniversary, my love for him has deepened in so many ways. Each day, I fall [...]

Gestational Diabetes Test Today

by jessicaturner on March 30, 2011

Badger/Belmont Faceoff

by jessicaturner on March 17, 2011

I graduated from UW. Matthew graduated from Belmont. The two schools are facing off tonight in basketball. As soon as I found out about the game, I started teaching Elias to say “Yucky Belmont.” He has worn Badger gear since birth, so he knows the Badgers. Tuesday night I was cleaning out my shoes (boxing [...]

This video of Elias and Matthew from earlier this month kills me. That puppet theater was worth every penny!

Check out this video Matthew made. It’s a beautiful prayer. And if you haven’t been reading his Daddy blog, you are missing out.
