sunshine and smiles.

our weekend.

boys in their bike trailer with daddy while I ran alongside them. a gorgeous sunset on a friday night. perfect way to start off the weekend.

 enjoying sunshine and swinging in our backyard.

 daddy's helper.
I love watching you as your water the plants sweet Caleb. So careful and deliberate. You concentrate hard and smile with excitement and anticipation when daddy tells you he has a project for you to help him with in the yard. You love your daddy so much. I love the bond you share with him. I love you so much little man. I love how happy you are working beside him. I love watching his patience and gentle grace in the way he works with you. You, Lucas, your daddy; you boys have my whole heart.

 post family weeding event. watching daddy till the garden.

you love to dig with that shovel. my sweet boy. so content in the yard digging in the dirt and finding mud puddles to play in :)

you're growing up so fast Lucas. Our cheerful, sweet, peaceful, full of spunk Lukie Luke.

 lowes build and grow. followed by a costco outing. i am in love with the child sized hammers they give the kids. seriously such a sweet thing to watch. mommies and daddies. boys and girls. gathered around the table with hammers and directions. (takes some awhile to figure out how to build the project...you can't not smile when you're here. I watch and take pictures cause I am not going near those directions if I don't have to!)

frog feet. nap cheeks. lovey. my heart.

this boy. he's sunshine captured and giggles given. he knows no stranger. he smiles to children, he flirts with seniors. his eyes light up when strangers respond to his attempts to engage them. everyone is a friend. he is joy wrapped up with smiles and laughter, topped with baby boy chub and happy babbles and giggles. we love him.

 missing my sisters this weekend. a lot. watching my brother boys together makes me miss my sisters sometimes. it makes my heart fill up because my boys get to have each other, just like I have my sisters. there's nothing quite like a sister bond, I've realized watching my boys, there's nothing quite like a brother bond either... through all of life's ups and downs. no matter how far apart we may be in miles, we're always in each other's hearts.

 

 

love this quote.

Hope your weekend was full of sunshine, smiles, and dancing too.
