We recently baptized our one-year-old son, Graham. And I am still smiling about it. I adore this ritual. I absolutely love the oath that the parents take and all the love you can feel from the congregation. I loved seeing Lilah place her hand on his head as we prayed. And more than anything, I Read more about God claims you.[…]
I have a love affair with traditions. Anything that comes once a year, once a month, once a day. Once a whatever. There is just something about them that feels so good. Comfortable and warm.

Brady and I celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary last week. FIVE YEARS! Holy crap, where did that time go?! To honor it, we passed the kids off on my in-laws (thank you!) and took a road trip.
