The big 30.
We celebrated our hero's birthday at home this weekend. We baked and I made some homemade pasta. We didn't do much of anything at all because we've been traveling a lot and between Caleb's specialist appointments the past couple weeks and our upcoming trip to Oregon we chose to just stay home and be together baking and taking family walks around the neighborhood. Caleb was just so excited about singing to Daddy (he spent most of his nap/quiet time on Sunday singing away about D's birthday), His excitement carried on over to Lucas who got all excited as well. It is so special to just be together as a family celebrating the one we love so much, even if we aren't going anywhere or doing anything big, there is something nice about doing nothing much at all except spending time together; even at home..
What I love most is watching his relationship with the boys. The boys are often underfoot while he does a project around the house and instead of getting frustrated with them, he lets them join in. He involves them; in baking, in gardening, building something, etc. He is so patient with them. Not once have I heard him yell at them. His parents did an amazing job in raising him to be the man that he is today. Yesterday while we celebrated him and all that we love about him, I lifted up a special prayer of thanks for his mom and dad who raised him. I know he wouldn't be the man that he is today without them. We are so blessed by him and I am so grateful to have him by my side.
Happy Birthday Dave.
we love you so.
also...the boys and I heard this song today on the radio. Love it. The music and the lyrics. Just brought a smile to my face on a Monday...
Lastly, a little Sneak Peek.
My sister took some pictures of us while we were down last weekend. I'm so excited to share more of them, but I better wait until after all our Christmas cards go out. Here are just a few she captured of the boys pre-outfit change. I'm so thankful for her willingness to always take our family pics. She is so patient! We found a random park and did the photo session sort of last minute. Both boys were freaking out because there were squirrels and birds around. (lots of nervousness lately over animals...we are working through it). She still managed to capture some sweet moments despite the circumstances. I love the ones she captured of the boys and I. I am hardly on the other end of the camera lens so it is nice to have these special moments captured with my sweet boys. Thanks Jen.
Happy Monday!
