Sunday!

Saying farewell to a very long week. Just about every scary grown up problem (as far as house & car go...) happened this week, all under a mountain of record breaking pure white snow. The snow its self is still beautiful to me, since Josh will be returning to work finally, I'm planning on getting more creative this week and getting some pictures of it. Creativity has saved many a housewife....
Despite it all, we are confident now (after small breakdowns here and there) that we will survive, and figure things out. We always do. Maybe five or ten years we can look back and see how silly we were to get so upset over a broken pipe or a little car trouble.
Or laugh at how broke we would get, and think to ourselves "how did we do that?"
Well, for now I'm trying to find that mind set now. We are young and healthy, have the most amazing and entertaining little toddler to hang out with, I have a good healthy pregnancy well on it's way to bring us another completely new person to hang out with....so no matter what else these winter storms will bring, THAT is what we do have! I will do my best to see that now, Noah is becoming more of a man every single day and I won't waste any of that time wondering how I will get to my destinations, 
I'm already here, and this is it!




I wish I could capture these moments better on film, just the mood of it, the lighting. I wish you could hear these little burst of memories and see them like I do. 
This is why I want a new camera to better capture them! For now, he's still adorable, flash and all.

Tomorrow will be Monday, again, and I will face it much happier than I thought. I will get satisfaction out of my routines because they benefit everyone around me, and at the end of the day that does make me happy. I choose to be happy about the week ahead because if not the mundane will claim me its next victim,& I just dont play like that.

it's a girl...still!

 we had another ultrasound yesterday with our wonderful Dr Sterling (20 weeks) and it's still a girl! i guess Josh has a tiny bit of doubt, but now there can be no mistake. it's hard to believe i am half way through already, and she is due June 14th. we are excited to have a summer baby, we were so paranoid about the flu and other sickness when Noah was born in December. now it's time to start the huge project that will soon be their shared, gender neutral bedroom! that will be in the next post...so here is the final highlight of the last year, just a few of my favorite pictures of Noah's first year, then i will start on everything that is happening right now!


 we stopped by Aja's house one day and Willy Wonka happened to be on, he was completely entranced by all the colors. he laid like this for maybe 20 minutes, it was so cute!
Noah's first pedicure! and according to daddy...his last.
he was six weeks in this picture, and we were leaving the next morning to go visit relatives in Arkansas. it was his first time meeting them, and he needed to make a good impression...
 one of our snowed in days! you can barely tell, but Noah is wearing his batman onesie, which was a gift from Amara. he wore it as much as he could until he grew out of it, it was so cool!
 i love this picture because you can see poor Noah being neglected in the background and sliding off his pillow! of course, he's so easy going he never made a peep!
always happy and smiling!
during these months when i had two little babies during the day,
we had really good days and really bad days! of course the pictures all look happy...so I'm thankful to have those!

we had gone shopping all day long, it was one of my first big outings with both of them! i bought a double stroller and just made it happen, i just couldn't stay home all day! getting them to be still enough at the same time to fall asleep was a challenge, but worth it for the pictures!
 this is at a 'cute baby contest'. Noah is maybe 12 weeks old here, he was the only boy and didn't win...a girl in a fluffy dress won of course. they just didn't appreciate Noah's style and swag...
 look how bald he is! he's already fighting kisses :(
 he just started using his bumbo seat here, i think the flash caught him by surprise
 enjoying one of the first warm days we had! he looks like Josh to me in this picture. he's funny how they change back and forth
 my cousin Kristin was holding him here and he fell asleep while we were talking, it was so funny!
