Happy 30th Birthday Paul!

Wow! 30 years old! One more decade down. Since I can't be in Iraq with him to celebrate, I will instead devote this blog to Paul with 30 things I love about him.

Isaac is crawling!



I know his crawling means things are going to get tougher around here, but I just can't help but be excited for him! I'm a proud mama!
