The perfect way to spend the day

is by the beach.

                                   taking in the sweet ocean scent

                                  and watching the beautiful ocean waves

I prefer warm ocean days, but I'll take cold too. Sunshine is best, but clouds and fog don't keep us away. A walk by the water always brings me peace and joy. I really do love the ocean. One day we'll live right by the ocean. (Hopefully) But for now, a 45 minute drive, is pretty good in my book. Blessed by these boys of mine. A simple day, ocean, picnic sandwiches, walking, and time spent with my little family.

Brotherly Love

Happy Friday! Ready for a weekend of sun and fun :)

so in love

 with your sweet smile, giggles, coos, upturned milky lips, your warm head in my arms, those dark lashes, rosy cheeks, your wiggles, and chunky fingers and toes. every little thing about you, lucas. you are loved little one.
love, mama

videos of the boys

here are a few videos I took of the boys. I wish I could really capture just how excited Caleb gets when Lucas wakes up in the morning and how much Lucas laughs when Caleb comes over to him or does something that is funny (to Lucas anyway). Last night while giving the boys their bath, Caleb took his clothes off and Lucas started cracking up watching him. I have no idea what was so funny about that, but Lucas seemed greatly amused. So here are a few clips of the two of them together and one of lucas coo-ing. When he is all done nursing he will put his hand in his mouth and look around coo-ing away. If brother is around he gets distracted and likes to pull off to watch. Caleb comes over a lot to give him hugs and then Lucas just starts cracking up. It is the sweetest thing. He also loves those hands and will often times stick them in his mouth mid-feed :) I also had to capture their dinner talk. It is so funny to watch the two of them chat together at the dinner table. I just love watching them as they interact together more and more each day.

a moment of play

 oh how i love watching my sweet boys play together. caleb reading, lucas watching. I love watching them both busy in their world. Caleb stacking, lucas grabbing at toys or playing with his hands. I love seeing them interact together. Lucas laughing, Caleb chatting. These little moments shared between them make me proud to be their mama.

good morning sunshine

your good morning smiles pretty much make my day.

the two of you together, smiling and laughing... doesn't get much better than that.

These are the precious moments I will always remember.

home sweet home
