Jaxon's First Easter

I think the title is self-explanatory but this was Jaxon's first Easter.  There's really nothing that needs to be said about this post because it's just photos of my adorable baby boy!!!  You knew I wasn't going to let a holiday go by without a themed photo shoot.

I hope this boy puts a smile on your face this Monday because he sure lights up my life!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter

Jaxon Meets the Easter Bunny

Like all great parents, I forced my child to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap.
And let's be honest, I wanted him to cry.  Call me mean, but I just think it's funny and makes for better photos.  I was a little disappointed when he was all smiles on Santa's lap, but we got our crying photo this time.

We did get one photo without tears.  I had literally JUST stepped out of the frame when they snapped this photo.

But the next second, the screaming began.

And before you go thinking I'm some truly awful parent, these two screaming photos were snapped within 10 seconds of each other and then I picked Jaxon up.  He was seriously in this Bunny's arms and crying for less than 45 seconds.

But these pictures are classic.  They're like a right of passage for children.  I'm sure he'll appreciate these photos when he's older.

Comfort in Chaos | New Blog, Same Crazy Lady

Hello everyone!!!  Welcome to my new blog, Comfort in Chaos.  (that is still in the works so bear with me, please!)

I felt it was time for a change.  I was in a blogging rut, I didn't know what direction I wanted to take my blog, and the old name, Ribbons and Rotor Blades, didn't seem as fitting anymore.
I truly loved Ribbons and Rotor Blades, but the title was a little too focused.  While being a cancer survivor and a military family are parts of my identity, they are just that; a small part of my life and my identity.  I wanted a name that would encompass every bit of my life; My life as a cancer survivor, Naval aviation family, mama to a tiny tornado of a little boy as well as two pointers, long distance friend and family member, and so much more.

Each of those things brings so much chaos to my life.  But that chaos, while stressful and challenging at times, is also beautiful.  It's all in how you look at things.  Me?  I choose to find the beauty of our everyday chaos.

Honestly, chaos is all I know these days.  It's what brings me comfort.  Do I have it all figured out?  Hell no!  But this is my life and I love it.  When life slows down (ha! who are we kidding, that never happens), I'm left a little confused.  I don't know where to go or what to do.
But this crazy life I have?  It's beautiful and joyous and brings me comfort.

So sit back, pour some wine, and follow along as I chronicle our lives; the good, the bad, the challenging, the joyous, the funny, and the mundane.
