I thought I would have a few quiet hours today. A good friend of ours called me up yesterday and graciously offered to take Brayden for the day today. Two of her four kids are pretty close to Brayden’s age–he is going to have the time of his life. I, on the other hand, had […]

Yesterday was a rough day. I had a little boy pushing my buttons and walking the fine line. I said some things to James about him that I truly didn’t mean. My patience wore thin. We talked about this many times before my pregnancy with Carter ended. Both of us are well aware that his […]

My days are filled with a little two year old who only utilizes six of his vocabulary words. Can. You. Play. With. Me? and Why?. At least this is currently how I feel. The truth is, he actually can carry on a pretty normal conversation, using words that sometimes surprise me. But he chooses to […]

Lately, I have been totally in love with photographs. Many of you know that for the past couple of years, I have gotten increasingly more involved with learning about the art of photography. But even more so in the past couple of weeks, I’ve been making a conscious effort to keep the camera available and […]

My mom loves on my baby boys. You can tell she adored being here, doing life with us for a week. She doted on the wee one, soaking in his coos and little bunny features, and the way he snuggled against her when he slept. She played with the big boy when mommy couldn’t, and […]

My mom just left a little over an hour ago. Having her here was such a help. . . I’m very thankful that she was able to take off the entire week to spend with us here. Brayden was spoiled with all the attention, and I hope he soaked up enough of it to last […]

I’ve recently been inspired by a few bloggers who have dramatic large, beautiful photos uploaded onto their blogs. It draws me in like a magnet. I’m attempting to replicate this sort of thing (okay, okay. . . you may call it copying if you must) on my blog, but I’m having a bit of trouble […]

Last night, Carter gave us five hours of straight sleep. Even then, I had to wake him up. If he wasn’t still so little, I would’ve left him to see how long he could go . . . but the wee one had to eat, so I did the responsible thing. Here’s to hoping it […]

Things are getting a little easier. Of course, that’s only because I still have help. My mom is here for the week, which is wonderful since James had to go back to school. I’m not quite ready to go solo right now. I finally was just able to catch up on my emails and bill […]
