This handsome fella is three whole months old today! Where oh where has the time gone?? He’s just plugging right along, being the sweetest most undemanding little boy while other, unspecified siblings command all mommy’s attention. I just love my little man more than I know how to put into words and I know I say this every month, but I’m just so blessed to get to be these babies momma. So, this month: Miracles happened! I […]
I just love dedication days. They are such a great reminder to me, as a worrying mom, that these little lives that He has trusted us with for the time being, are completely in His hands and I have nothing to worry about. Life is full of so much heartache and confusion but to me, knowing that my great God is in control, is the only thing that gives me peace and the presence of […]
Oh Fall, how I love thee. And how I love these babies of mine. Having two has been mmm if I’m being honest, quite difficult at times I KNOW I KNOW THERE IS ONLY TWO OF THEM but really sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind and have to exercise the many-deep-breaths-so-as-to-not-explode tactic, but for the most part… when they aren’t both screaming in unison (which really doesn’t happen as much as you might think ;) ) […]
NOOOOOOOO!!! My baby boy has had the most perfect belly button. It’s been just this perfect little swirl and I just looked at it again and it’s turning into an ordinary ol inny and I’m SO SAD! I never got a good picture of it :[ Only this one with goosebumps and lots of diaper creases BOOO and I always meant to go back and take a better one with cool lighting and such and […]
Oh you dear second child, you. I always think I’ll remember each thing but that has yet to be the case. Ever. In any area of my life. I do remember another month of more spit up than you could ever imagine. And a boy that never wanted to be put down. Until yesterday… you let me put you down for like a full 5 minutes without even a whimper of protest and it was […]
As Greg’s paternity leave is coming to an end, I realized, we may not have a chance to take a spontaneous trip for a while! We’ve actually never been on a just-our-family family vacation (we are always visiting someone or with other people) so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get away and enjoy some quality time together before he has to go back to work! I was so sad we had to miss […]
Oh Mister Luke. I know it’s hard to hold your own when you’re new and you have a big sister with a big personality who mostly just loves to be on top of you, but I just wanted you to know we sure love you. You make your daddy and I so happy with your sweet, snuggly self. I can’t wait to see what special personality He put inside of you :) I have a […]
We just got back from Michigan yesterday.. rather, we *survived* traveling across the country and back with a toddler and a newborn and will be drinking celebratory champagne from this day forth. Insert all the praise hands! I had a minute before things got crazy busy again so I thought I’d post some pictchas! Both of those kiddos did WAY better than I expected on the plane and although it was a bit stressful at times and schedules […]
We did it! We kept two babies alive for a whole 31 days!!! Holy cow where does the time go?? This little guy is one month old today and is making my mommy heart swell with pride at every little thing he does. Oh? You hear that high pitched scream? No you didn’t step on the cat, that is my son and I love him so. Oh you just changed his diaper and he immediately filled […]
This girl :) Oh my goodness she’s turning into a fiery little soul :) She’s has definitely entered into full on toddler everything these days and yesterday was no exception. I’ve found the hardest thing lately has been keeping up with dishes and laundry because they are just constant and with Greg home, for whatever reason, it’s harder for me to stay on top of them. So yesterday I was trying to tackle them once […]
