A Nite With My Boy

When I got home tonite we tried to take a family walk. Despite the blue skies it was deceivingly cold. Wesley was fussy & frustrated because he wanted to ride Mia's bike. He is way too little for it but kept crying "biiiike." We lasted maybe 15 minutes.  Mia ended up going with Damon to run errands so Wes & I had some time, just the two of us. I have lots of mama guilt over how rarely this happens. I miss my boy when I don't get to tickle his cheeks and hear him giggle over butterfly kisses. His fussiness passed but he keeps pointing at his mouth saying "medicine?" I think his canines are coming in, poor guy. We shared dinner & watched The Voice. We read books, danced & played with Thomas. The perfect nite with my sweet boy. I love you Wesley David!!

Happy Birthday To My Dream Boy

Dear Wesley,

Today is your first birthday. I blinked & you became 22 lbs of squishy baby giggles & goodness. Thinking back to the those first hours in the hospital, I was filled with the

warmth & a peace that radiated from your tiny soul. One year later you still bring me such a sense of contentment. When we're together it's like it was always meant to be. You are the baby boy of my dreams. I love you.

My Littles

Not enough words!! They make our world go round & round. They make my heart burst into a million pieces. Mia & Wesley, I love being your mama!!! She loves wearing ballet skirts and would wear one everyday if it wasn't so cold. Someone is learning the the joy of Peek a Boo!!!

Four Years of Love : A Wedding Pictage

Happy Fourth Anniversary my love!! Today, you showed off one of your most lovable traits.  You came home with a bag of pumpkin carving tools, Halloween toys and candles. You taped newspaper to the floor and showed Mia how to scoop the pumpkins. Then you asked her, "What kind of mouth should we make." She whispered in her scariest voice, a spooky one.  That's what she got a spooky face for her pumpkin.  I love your sentimental streak . It runs deep and it's sweet to see a glimpse of the younger you when you share it with our babies!! To us, you are the best thing!!!!!!

Here are a million of our wedding pics because well.... i'm obsessed:) Links to all our awesome vendors HERE!!!!!!

 

Just Because

Wesley,
Today at nap time you let me hold you. For two hours it was just us, the solid weight of my perfect little boy nestled in the crook of my arm. I watched & held you, making sure I wasn't wishing away this moment by thinking of all the other things I had to do. I know all too well, very soon these moments will be fleeting. You will be too busy exploring the world, breathing in all that is new, to snuggle with mom.   So thank you for today my sweet boy,  I will cherish it always...

Should you think this post is overly mushy,  Keeping up with the Kardashians was on during our snuggle fest...lol

My Tiny BFF

When Mia was tiny (6 months & younger), I was terrified of her. All she did was scream for hours & hours & hours. We tip toed around on egg shells for months. I would hiss at Damon in my most menacing whisper, "Don't make eye contact," in fear of stimulating her into another hysterical crying fit.  I longed for her to grow, communicate & be a pleasure to be near.

Not only has she grown into the smartest, sweetest little one, she now has a sense of humor!!! Over the past few weeks she is starting to understand funny. She gets jokes, loves to make funny dances & wants to be silly.  She has the most contagious cackle.  She loved playing w Photobooth & we cracked up at our beautiful portraits!!!!  Mia, my sweet girl, there is nothing I love more then spending time with you!!!!!
