Wrapping pre­sents for Ruth with the girls

Lydia lost her key­chain at Publix, I prayed, and God im­me­di­ately an­swered.

Having an im­promptu romp with all three girls on the mat­tress af­ter din­ner. Tickles, pil­low fights, horsey rides, and wrestling.❤️

You’re the least of my wor­ries.

Lydia tak­ing her first shower by her­self, and en­joy­ing it im­mensely. “I love you, Mommy.” Dancing to mu­sic af­ter­wards.

Holland Farm with the fam­ily. The corn pit; strid­ing through the corn maze with Lydia and Ruth; the pic­nic by the car; send­ing Lydia and Amber on the zi­pline, each by her­self; rolling through the big pipe with the girls gig­gling and try­ing to stay up­right; the pic­nic at Bucee’s.

Melissa: I mocked it at first, but I’ve come to ac­cept it.

Brian: Hey, that kind of de­scribes our mar­riage!

Melissa: It’s Friday night, what do you want to do?

Brian: Curl up with a sexy…book. But not Facebook. Facebook’s a hussy.

Folding the church laun­dry with Lydia. She helped be­cause she wanted to.

Singing “Do You Want to Be a Bullfrog?” as a fam­ily at the din­ner table (to the tune of “Do You Want To Build a Snowman?“)

Melissa: Ooo, I know what I’ll do for your fu­neral! I’ll re­lease a bal­loon to rep­re­sent your soul ris­ing to Heaven, and it’ll be teal be­cause that was your fa­vorite color–

Brian: No, don’t do that.

Melissa: But as we cel­e­brate your life–

Brian: Celebrate me now, not at my fu­neral! I want you to be sad when I die; I was a cool guy!

Melissa: If I wear that, peo­ple will think I’m gay.

Brian: They won’t think that with a hunk like me walk­ing be­side you!

At the Hutt house, play­ing with Amber and keep­ing Lydia com­pany while she used the re­stroom.

Melissa: He’s got a sexy, smol­der­ing look.

Brian: Yep, that’s what you want in a doc­tor.

The girls dressed in princess dresses, sweetly singing happy birth­day to me while I lay in bed ❤️

Brian do­ing a ridicu­lously en­er­getic and hi­lar­i­ous dance to “Wiggle Through the Night”, a song on the girls’ mi­cro­phone

Trying to guess the names of clas­si­cal mu­sic tunes; laugh­ing be­cause Brian tried to sound ed­u­cated so many times

Laughing with Brian while watch­ing “Baggage” with Jomboy and Jake on YouTube

A Leaf For My Boo, Adam’s au­to­bi­og­ra­phy

Doing the sand­wich song with the girls, one par­ent hold­ing the feet and the other their hands

Laughing with Brian while read­ing My Immortal
