A day in the life...

All day. Every day. Letters.


This guy likes to observe.

Noah--The taunter.

Not quite sure what he was pouting for, but surely it was related to how he wanted his letters situated.


Noah could easily watch nonstop ABC videos on his Ipad in 50 different languages if I let him.

Once the rain clears, we'll be doodling letters in chalk on the road.
It's like groundhog day around here.

THREE under THREE.

When Mom had the twins & I had a free morning with Noah while Connor was at school, we planned a bounce house play date at Mom's.  The bounce-housing last a good 10 minutes before the boys had other plans.  I would imagine our play date was similar to herding cattle.  Towards the end of our play session, we got the boys all on the same page of playing ball together.



It was a rare opportunity to get all three to sit still and sit near each other, but with all hands occupied, it worked!  Once all three are chatting together in the near future, there will be trouble had!  

Brrrr....

My weekends when Connor isn't home, I usually book all my photo sessions to keep me busy.  When the weather was ridiculously cold for FL, I had to reschedule my outdoor newborn session.  I already had my camera set out, so we opted to bundle up & head out on a nature trail.  I was miserably cold in the wind, but Matt & Noah were troopers!



I'm a sucker for my boys' profile shots.  Noah's peanut nose and long lashes melt me.

We spent the evening watching Connor play flag football while Noah went back & forth from stuffing his face with unlimited cookies and jumping on the trampoline while we were at a Superbowl party with friends.  It was a nice afternoon & the boys were good & wiped out after playing in the cold wind all day!

Our lives this week...

While Connor is at school, this is what our mornings have looked like...


And when Noah's not yanking his tail, you'll find Seuss here...

And when it's too cold/rainy out to go play anywhere, we opt to run errands...
I'm tying up editing a wedding, while crafting Connor's football Valentines for school and prepping for a supposed-to-be outside newborn session that has turned into its-too-cold-for-a-newborn-so-now-its-inside session.  There's never a dull moment around here!

What we do

Connor is ALL sports, ALL the time.

Football, basketball, soccer...
And for the record, I have some outstanding skills now, since I'm Connor's go-to team mate when no neighbor kids are available to play!

Noah still wants to do ABCs all the time.
Watch Ipad videos, write with his water pen, doodle with chalk in the road...
Noah has been found saying his ABCs in different languages (french, dutch) and can recite the ABCs backwards.  And they say kids don't learn anything from 'screen time'... HAHA.

I know this is borderline not okay for me to take these pictures as Connor is so grown up now, but I had to!  These two are, by far, so incredibly adorable when they shower together.  They practice writing letters on the foggy shower walls while Connor sits on the drain to make a "lake."  They carry on grown up conversations and understand eachother.  Noah will say, "Scuze me," when he wants to be under the shower water.  Connor practices amazing patience with Noah's antics.  I adore them during this time!
