Easter 2015

We had a little Easter egg hunt with cousins and neighbors.  The kids loved collecting the eggs and finding out what's inside.  We stuffed some with $1 bills. Matthew collected $3 total.  He's already talking about next year's egg hunt!

We took this picture the week before Easter while we were visiting family in NJ. We really need to take a family picture on a real camera (not the iPhone).  I guess you get what you get!  I love my little family.  

In These Moments

My baby girl turned 8 months  yesterday!  Where did the time go?!  

Parenting two kids is hard!  I admire all those who have more than two, especially the single parents.  Caring for a toddler and a baby is exhausting (and working full time), but it is also a blessing.  A blessing that I prayed and yearned for for years.  God has trusted me with these little humans and I strive to do the best that I can to raise them up to do good in the world.

There are good days and hard days. And sometimes during those hard days, I have to work extra hard to focus on how truly blessed I am.

At the end of the day when the children are sleeping and I can snuggle with them and just listen to them breath and wonder what dreams they are having and if they know how much of my heart belongs to them.  It's in those moments that I want to stop time and keep them little forever.  Everyday is a blessing.  I need to remember to find the good in each day!

FOUR Months Later....

....and my baby is now almost 8 months!!

And my first baby is 4 years old!

Where did the time go?  We have been busy with life.  Every now and then I keep thinking that I need to update the blog, then I get distracted by something else and the blog gets put on hold again...and again...and again.  

I have a lot to catch up with this blog or else Kate's baby book will only be 3 pages long! (I use the blog as my Scrapbook).

For now, these pics will have to do. I will have to make it a priority to posts about the last four months that have flashed by (especially while I can still somewhat remember)!

Matthew (4 yrs old), Kate (8 months)

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!
