When all those little things (the 3rd poopy diaper in a row, mud all over my freshly mopped floor, yet another whining child, a baby who won’t nap, etc.) start to add up one after another when I’m already exhausted from a busy, long week, I know it’s time to stop, take a deep breath, and let myself be reminded of how blessed I am.
My beautiful Emily – she is getting so big:
Her hair is getting so long too!
My sweet baby Luke:
My busy sweet Joshua:
Wearing his favorite Thomas the Tank Engine pajamas from Grandma – he’s so busy these days I can barely get a photo of him before he’s off again:
My so-quickly-growing- up, smart Nathan:
Luke with some of Emily’s favorite “pets” that she likes to let him “hold” – he was so busy studying them that he wouldn’t look up for the camera:
Playing with his bouncy seat toybar that he loves – he will sit and “talk” to the hanging animals for a very long time:
Checking out Emily’s puppy:
These two are so close – Emily is such a little mommy to him. Just this morning, she took care of him (fed him his bottle and played with him) while I blow dried my hair. She is so sweet with him.

What a cute family! Have a great weekend!
so precious!
