About Me

Ryan and I began our journey together over 9 years ago, when we began dating. We became life partners in August of 2004, and this past fall we welcomed a baby into our family. Topher Van Sol was born Oct. 3, 2009. We have two wonderful dogs that bring joy everyday and are getting used to this attention stealer! I am a counselor in training, and Ryan is an Educational Assistant at a residential treatment center. He is also working on his MSW. We live to serve and love. We are blessed my our friendships and family.

11 things about my 11 month old.

September has just begun, but already it's shaping up to be a wonderful month! Besides little man, Topher, reaching 11 months, COLLEGE FOOTBALL season has offically started! Here are Ryan and I in our t-shirts watching the first Texas Tech game of the season. It was a victory over SMU! This coming week, Texas Tech is playing UNM here and we have tickets with two other couples. It is going to be a fun game, I just hope UNM shows up and doesn't lose as badly as they did last weekend (72-0 against Oregon, Yiks!) Even though presently I am a UNM student, I will ALWAYS root for Texas Tech- sorry Lobos... WRECK 'EM TECH!






As I said, Topher is now 11 months old and I cannot believe his first birthday is a few weeks away! Here he is looking super cute!






















Below are a few pictures of Topher doing things that he loves right now!



Playing with sunglasses




Climbing and sitting on boxes



Standing on his head



Eating and playing with is food.


Here is my monthly list of 11 things about my 11 month old, Topher.


1. Kiwi is one of his favorite things to eat.
2. My cell phone is the best teething toy.
3. One of Topher's legs is rough and the other is soft... because of the way he gorilla crawls.
4. He has mastered giving "high-five"
5. Topher gets very scared and begins to cry during one specific saxaphone solo from Dave Matthews Band. I am very sad about this- video coming soon!
6. Topher does not care for almond milk
7. Topher should probably have Master's degree by the time he is two... he goes to class with Ryan two times a week!
8. Topher's favorite song right now is "Itsy Bitsy Spider"
9. Topher has decided that his sleeping babies like to be thrown out of his crib as soon as it's morning. I head a thump, thump, thump around 7:30am
10. My boy does not understand that he is the boss of the grass and can crawl/walk on it. He freezes when on our beautiful lawn!
11. Topher now understands and is testing what "NO" means. I don't know if I will be strong enough to stand up against the many tears and pouty lips that are in my future from this guy!
