Mama sleeps too

for moments
sometimes with a baby
here's proof!

Zack's self entertainment...

and the boys sleep

Isaac's new hat!

play

Note the stick in his hand as he plays!

creativity

I don't know how much of it is genetic or learned or what have you. I know I was a very creative minded child and it seems Phin might be one too. This is the example we have for today.
We went outside to play and, of course, as a little boy he went straight for a large stick in the yard. He proceeded to carry it around as he played in the yard.

The interesting part of this story is that the stick was... a "Y".

Later in his play, he started finding "V's" He found the "v" then counted the "v" and then handed them over to me - gingerly counting out each one carefully like they were hundred dollar bills. I found it adorable!

Here is another picture of Phin's "V's" - as they are a bit hard to see in my hand...

... and the boys play

We are not the youngest parents ever. With that said, I am so happy that we are both still healthy and fit enough to romp around on the floor with our boys. I have fond memories of such - and I happy they will too!

Zack's wearing jeans

and I think he likes them!
His cloth diaper cracks me up.

While little brother sleeps,

big brother plays...

It started out to be a spectacular day

In the wee hours of the morning, Phin woke up. He took every single book in his room (twenty-five to be exact) and slid it under his bedroom door - so that Daddy and Mommy would have a little "hall art" to view when we got up to get him.

Later in the day, Phin did his only "formal" chore at this time. That is to take the toilet paper that I throw up to the hallway and take it to the bathroom and put it "away." He gets a kick out of this chore! On this particular day, he decided to get creative. He unwrapped some of the rolls. He unraveled some of the rolls and he decided to practice brushing HIS teeth with MY toothbrush! What fun times! I can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings!

Phin's new favorite book

borrowed from the library.
We may need to get a copy for the house!!!

At the Edge of the Woods
by Cynthia Cotten.

Thank you Grandma Allen

for helping me get a few pics of my baby with his mama!

It only takes a few moments

in your grandma's arms - warm and snugly soft -

before you head off to dreamland.

Happy, happy baby!

He doesn't do much yet

besides look around. With that said, he's super cute and his face changes all of the time. Funny thing is: even though his face changes so much, he STILL looks like his brother!

Zack is awake!

AND he's large and in charge!

Visiting Grandma

We had to get a picture of Grandma Susie with the boys!
We did the best we could - to make everyone look good!


Do you believe the blue eyes on this kid?

Playtime at Grandma's house

It was really cold out that day - so this was the "first wear" for the new red coat and hat!!!


With uncle Dave and and,


of course, the SWING!

Eggs go in egg cartons

Even if they are cooked.
At least, that is what Phin believes.




Needless to say, that was the end of breakfast.
I couldn't decide if he didn't eat his eggs (one of his favorite meals) because he wasn't hungry, or because we made them in COCONUT OIL instead of olive oil...

Zack swings!

I *think* he liked it...

Red Pajamas

and even though he was sitting all over the laundry, is he not the cutest thing ever???

Sweet baby

Zack is sleeping~

Please tell me who is in charge around here

Because I need to talk to them. WHO said my little baby could grow up so fast? How is it that two years ago, he was just a little face in a bundle of blankets and now, his jammies are half the side of the bedroom door?



I just need things to slow down a little bit. I am with this little boy all day and all night but he's growing up too fast. TOO FAST! If we could just make a deal where time can slow down a bit, I would really appreciate it.
I don't want to miss a THING!
