David caught a ladybug today. He was really gentle and waited patiently until I changed to my macro lens and snapped this shot.



And this one. I love how his wings are folded but out.







The little one and I sat outside in the backyard as David played.







We both watched him and smiled.







And he smiled right back.




The joy of my life. I’m feeling better. Things are starting to fall in sync a little bit and the baby is sleeping a bit better. I see small flickers of light in the distance. Just small ones for now, but light nonetheless…

Nothing like a few wicker baskets. Especially ones full of fabric.



Nathaniel loves sucking his thumb lately. He’s found it and he uses it liberally to calm himself down. I think he looks so cute.







For the first time since I started putting him in his bed, he’s been sleeping for over 45 minutes. I know that as soon as I type these words, he will wake up. But, for now, I am just thankful for the magic of it. May it continue.



David’s teacher visited today. I can’t believe he’s only got one more year of preschool. He’s growing up way way too quickly.

I love seeing this sign every time I sit at my desk. Thank you Jen Lemen.






David spent the day playing with my punches. He had so much fun.







And so did Nathaniel. When he wasn’t taking his super-power-naps that last like 15 minutes. Ugh.







I am reorganizing my blog for the month of September. Stay tuned. Trying to get better and more planned about what I do here. Not sure why. But I guess why not 🙂 Downloads, and more, are coming, I promise.



Rabbit rabbit.

I couldn’t pick one. I love them all.















Almost September.

I know these are blurry. But I don’t care. Sometimes it’s just about the memories.

Today we played with bubbles.







David loved it. He played and played.







And Nathaniel was in a good mood too, when he wasn’t being asked to nap in bed.






Happy Saturday.

My tags. I love them. I love making them. Definitely my favorite 2009 project.







I love him. I love him. Madly. so much. But we’re still struggling with sleep. I know it will pass. Just wish I wasn’t so tired.

I have a wooden fence that surrounds the backyard. Yet, there’s this little vine that has somehow found its way through from the other side and is seeping into my yard. I love looking at it. The way it’s peeking in. I love its resilience and persistence.



I wanted to take some photos of David today. Felt like it had been a long time. He made this face for me.







And here he is sitting at his table, coloring his workbook as he watches movies. Yes, he’s living the life.







We put together Nathaniel’s exersaucer the other day and now he gets to spend 15 minutes at a time in it. What do you think, does he like it?







Oh, yes, he loves it.







Not looking forward to tonight.

Just one little one today. I’ve been feeling a little out of it. Not getting much done. I guess it’s going to be one of those days…

Sorry about posting this a day late. I didn’t even realize that I missed posting yesterday until I was in bed. I love this little angel I have sitting on my desk.


I know this photo is blurry but look at that face. How can I resist it?







And here’s a portrait shot, I don’t take enough of these lately.







Nathaniel had his 4-month appointment today. He’s doing great. 30% on weight and height but perfect. Strong. Happy. Lovely. He also had some shots so he’s been feverish. But otherwise all’s calm here and pretty much the same.

This is a splurge I just made. Emera bag is specially padded to hold my camera.









Nothing like the joy of discovering a new toy. And rediscovering it.







Little brother, you’re awesome. Today you’re 4 months old. You sat up unassisted for 4 minutes. You are getting to be a better sleeper. At least when I swaddle you. You laugh all the time. You can fit your whole fist in your mouth. Your face lights up when you see your brother’s face. You love love love tummy time and will roll on your tummy all on your own. You are the best addition to our family. We love you madly.



Today, I went to Nathaniel’s doctor’s appointment only to find out it was actually tomorrow. It’s been like that lately.

More of Nathaniel on his tummy. Feeling unsteady but I adore this boy so much.
