Totally Worth it

the 3:15am-4:45am feeding, diaper change, and go down for lucas and then 6am wake up call from Caleb this morning; worth it.
the hand in your diaper and green and brown poop all over your hand, really caleb? as I'm nursing Lucas; worth it.
the 'i feel like i got run over by a truck and dragged down the street' exhaustion;worth it.
All worth it;
for moments like this with Caleb and Lucas.
Lucas' first coos and smiles this morning, and Caleb's love for his little brother.
Totally worth it.

I survived

my first day alone with the boys!! And it went great :) We played, slept (all of us, Caleb took a two hour at the same time as Lucas, and so I got to catch a little afternoon snooze in as well) the tantrums were few, thankfully! And I even managed to bake some cookies for the hubs, and make an early dinner. We had a nice morning walk, and Caleb played so well while I rested on the couch with Lucas. Caleb, you are such a sweet big brother! I just love watching you with Lucas. You love kissing his toes and head, helping to change his diaper, and are constantly saying 'Hi LuLu or Luleee'
I'm glad we got off to a great start :)

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Creating Memories...



One of my favorite childhood memories is watching my Nani in the kitchen as she baked up some goodness. Brownies, Rice Crispy Treats, Peach Cobbler hot off the press, chocolate chip cookies. Waiting to lick the spoon after she finished mixing, helping to pour in the flour and sugar. 3 eager little girls waiting for the oven to ding.
Caleb was grandma's baking helper today. He's still too little to realize that all that hard work actually produces some pretty delicious cookies, but he had fun with the mixing and the pouring and the counting for the measuring. 'Wow' 'Oooooo' 'Yay' could be heard through the house this morning, while Grandma helped Caleb as he dumped the flour and the sugar in the mixing bowl. 'cookeeeees' will be heard for the rest of the afternoon once he figures out where we hid them :)

Heart Squeeze

Grandma captured this sweet moment. A little heart squeeze for me. You have such a sweet and gentle spirit Caleb. We love you so so much.

Build and Grow

Just a little project on a Saturday morning :)

First Bath for Lucas

He actually seemed to be enjoying it, so much so, that he started to cry when he had to get out of the nice warm water. Perhaps...he'll be a water baby like mama?
