I love getting to see how babies change. Most of the time they looks soooo much different in just a few short months. And this little guy was no exception. And he was SUCH a good baby. Very chill. Very happy. Makes my job wonderful. He was slim with the smiles, but that doesn’t make him any less adorable.
Sometimes I go quite a while between seeing families. And in that time, SUPRISE! they have another baby! And not only that, but they have a baby that is smiling and sitting and ADORABLE! And completely different from their sibling.
I love chatting with this family. Dad has the most awesome English accent because he is of course from England! And it is true, I am one of those Americans that becomes completely enamored with the way people speak from different countries and the phrases they use. And what I find so awesome, is that some of those phrases rub off on the kiddos!
The grandmas were with us as well (one from England), I regret not getting more photos with them, but sometimes when you get to concentrating on working with the kiddos, that those kinds of things don’t get remembered.
Thanks for the visit guys, it was great to see you and as always, love seeing how you have grown. And it’s always nice to see that giant puppy of yours!
We’ve waited and waited, but I finally get to start bringing flowers inside. And there isn’t anything better than the smell of lilacs on the dining room table. Beautiful purple ones from just right outside the door! And it always reminds me of this song!
The last month has been a bit of a blur, and getting behind in becoming my new schedule. Maybe I’m not behind, it’s just how it is now!
This sweet family came to visit a while back, and I’m finally getting to their sweet pictures.
We haven’t seen them in ages as they are our family. My husbands cousins. They have a brand new baby I have never even met and he’s a year old! What happens to the time? That’s what happens when families have their own little families!
Thanks for coming to visit you guys and thanks so much for feeding us!!!
Starting last October, the windows in the my awesome front porch began getting replaced. There are 14 of them, and the windows were very, very old. To no avail, we tried to paint them. It just didn’t work. So began the great window project. I wasn’t willing just to get rid of all these windows, so in true form we made other things out of them. Many other things. (I will show you after pictures as soon as everything turns a little bit more green around here…..) See the cross bars on the windows? They were impossible. And see how they were halfway painted last year…..they stayed that way.
Over Mother’s day weekend, in between games and family and photos, I jumped out of bed to paint my new tomato boxes my husband and I built the prior weekend. Actually, the hubby was suppose to build them, but I did a little too much complaining and wound up having to help. Which deep down, I love to do anyway. So it was all good. I also painted “PJ’s pad”….. a little shed we had built for him to get away in. The chain link in the photos will be going away this summer (thank the lord!!)
Obviously, there is still a lot of work to be done… but it is so fun to watch this place come together. I like to call it the compound. Buildings for all of us!!
More to come!
