Kisses

"Mommy, how do elephants kiss?"

Joshua David, you melt my heart.

Don't Blink... You'll miss something

Monday I put Silas to bed at 8:30pm Michael told me he woke up at 8:30am and was awake for nearly 2 hours then went back to bed, where he stayed until i came home. I came home at 5:15pm and found Silas standing. He spent the whole day in his bed perfecting his new trick.

Today, swollen top gums two new teeth cut through and two on the verge.

Too much growing this week!

The Many Faces of Playing Catch

Are you ready? 

Keep your eye on the ball. 

What did you say I should do with my legs? 

Great catch daddy!

This one will go really far!

I caught it!!

More Oranges!

Our friends from church invited us back to pick more oranges and grapefruits. Again it was an amazing time. Joshua enjoyed their beautiful yard and had commentary on everything!! After we left we purchased a citrus juicer. The juice was so sweet, almost too sweet.  

"Those words rhyme..."

Joshua is really trying to understand rhyming words so he's been playing with word combinations and sounds the past few days. Tonight he decided he was going to find words that rhyme with stuck... truck, luck, muck... That's when mommy stepped in and suggested we try a different word. :)

I used to take pictures...

I used to take pictures.
I love taking pictures, but after having kids and full time teaching I stopped taking pictures like I used to. When we lived in New Ulm, I would take beautiful pictures, usually nature, but since Joshua, I felt like my pictures weren't as good. I have alway thought pictures I take of landscape have been better than pictures of people. Today I took my boys to the beach and brought my camera. It took me a while to get that side of my brain working, but once it did we were on a roll. I will admit to only keeping a handful of the 100+ photos that were taken, but today I took pictures, and it felt good.

So Vain?

I walked into my bedroom to find Joshua sitting on the floor with my phone. "I was taking pictures of my smile!"
