Oh man....what a year!

Barrett Wayne Culpin -- Born November 27th, 2014.  Yes, that was Thanksgiving Day!  If I could describe the last six months in one word it would be Rewarding.  Barrett entered the world in a hurry --  Courtney only had to endure about 3 hours of labor -- although this time seemed much more intense than the first.

  Since Barrett's birth, our lives have been much different.  We are back to a routine, much like we were in Teagan's first year or so of existence.  It's funny how that works out; something that is supposed to make your life so chaotic but in reality brings you down to earth.  No more spontaneous trips to the store, they must be carefully planned around nap time and feedings.  No more quick trips anywhere, really, as it typically takes longer to get the kids in and out of the car than it does to travel anywhere.  It's all entirely worth it.  Seeing these two smiling faces on a day-to-day basis is the epitome of life.  In all honesty, they are a daily reminder of how wonderful life really is.
