Have you ever read the story about Tikki tikki temob-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo?  I picked it up off the book shelf yesterday, remembering how fond Brayden was of the book.  We hadn’t  read it in awhile.  When you have five hundred books laying around the house, some of them sometimes get overlooked.

I just did my son’s first year pictures on Friday.  This was definitely my favorite face this month.  Hands down.  

Hey, I know it’s about two weeks early–but I wanted to do a cake smash with Carter so that I could use one of the pictures on his birthday invitations.  We did our little photo session in the living room, in front of our three big windows.  It worked out well because it was overcast, […]

I bet that title mislead you.  I bet you were thinking that I was asking if things got better . . . like I was struggling so much that I needed you to tell me that it was going to be okay.  Tell me that things, in time, will turn around and get better.   […]

Let me tell you a little story.  A little random story.  I wanted to post some pictures of something fun that James and I did before kids.  Before our fancy camera.  Before our life as parents began.  Once when I was skinny.  We used to take weekend trips–we’d plan them out to a T.  Taking […]

Remember our trip from last year?  I was thirty-six weeks pregnant and we were crazy for going, since Carter could have come at any point.  But, despite that, we enjoyed our trip so much that we decided to go again.  This time even more of us went together–but we didn’t ALL share a room, thank […]

I chose this picture because of two reasons.  Our son, who was less than two months old, was fascinated with fans–and in this picture, he is staring, mesmerized up at the ceiling at the rotating fan.  The look on his face tells that he is filled with a hypnotized sort of wonder.  Second, I think […]

Getting through each day for me might seem like all fun and games, if you base it just on what you see on my blog.  I love to take pictures of my children when they are happy and engaged.  Brayden always looks perfectly content just hanging out, doing a variety of activities.  Carter’s little toothy […]

It seems that James and I are constantly revamping things in our house, trying to make for better flow.  Better organization.  Better ways in which to rearrange the same clutter.  There is always something in the house that is in total disarray–waiting it’s turn for the clean out.  Only to get messy again in a […]

Who should you call in case of a fire?  Firefighter Brayden, of course.  And he’ll show up at your door with a green noodle hose, and put that fire out for you.
