We started blogging our life as best friends, husband and wife, in 2006 shortly after we got married. Once we had children, I created a new blog for our growing family. This is our blog sharing the story of our life: beginning with our first pregnancy and our journey as parents to our beloved firstborn, BB1, who arrived in our world perfectly on 11.5.2010 and his precious sister, BB2, born on 10.6.2012, our sweet third baby, BB3, born 2.3.2015, our 3rd vivacious daughter, BB6, born on 5.1.2018 and our 2nd living son and final Bruffey Baby, BB8, born 6.23.2021. We also love our 3 greatly missed babies in Heaven, BB4 (born in Heaven at 5 weeks 5 days on 10.8.2016) BB5 (born still at 16 weeks on 2.5.2017), and BB7 (born in Heaven at 7 weeks 3 days on 10.23.2019). I will share my stories of our family, of being a wife, a mother, a home manager, a friend, a woman, a Hope Mom, and a person pursuing hope in Christ through life and death, joy and pain. Welcome to our journey!

"Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you."
Psalm 24: 4 - 5

A Big Boy Room and a Nursery

We continue to work to get our nursery ready for Baby Ruth, which involves transforming Jacob's room into a "big boy" toddler room. It is a one-step-at-a-time process. Today, we got Jacob's bookshelf built and in place, both rooms vacuumed and carpet cleaned in the nursery, and the glider/ottoman and changing table moved into the nursery. Tomorrow, we plan to get Jacob's dresser built and in place and a little bit more rearranging done - and that should fill our weekend!

Jacob's reading area! 
We have a LOT more books than we realized when we bought our bookshelf (at IKEA!)


We have the 3 shelves for the bookshelf that we plan to mount to the wall over the shelf to put more of the books on.


This is where Jacob's dresser will go!


This is where the glider used to be - so nostalgic remembering all the times of nursing and rocking and reading with my boy!


Jacob's room slowly becomes a toddler room!


This is the current state of the office-becoming-nursery! Changing table in place, though it may move... and floors cleaned... a lot to do, but it is slowly becoming our little girl's room! The black office chair will probably go in Jacob's room as a place to sit and read with Mama and Daddy.

So fun getting our house in order!
