Clinging to my Baby!

Will’s second birthday is quickly approaching and as each day passes he becomes less and less baby and more and more like a legit child.  I find myself clinging to those things that still make him seem so little. His paci. The way he cries so hard and then snuggles into my neck as I try to calm him. How he emphatically answers “BABY” when asked if he is a big boy or a baby. I may be slightly mourning his passing into childhood and I find myself trying to capture every last detail before these first couple of years … Read more

A Walk in the Park

Thank the Lord we have finally gotten some sunshine. By mid-week I was very cranky and I couldn’t figure out why until I started noticing all the Facebook posts that referenced how long it had been since we had seen sunshine.  It was like a light bulb went off.

More Fall Fun

Sam was really hamming it up for the camera.  I love that he was so carefree!  Will was running around like a lunatic – I got more pictures of his back as he ran away than anything else. I’ve been wanting to learn more about our digital camera and some basic digital editing and have been spending some of my new found free time … Read more

The Cat and the Hat: Zombie Edition

Halloween has come and gone but thanks to the modern miracle of film (or digital pictures) the memories can live on forever.  This year we dressed the boys up as Thing 1 and Thing 2.  This is something I had been looking forward too since the day Will was born (literally).  And to complete the ensemble I went a little crazy with the black eye liner and threw on a hat and tie. Halloween 2012 – The Cat and Thing 1 and 2 The boys were clearly not as excited about this get up as I was.  And the white … Read more
