Food & Books

I feel like I take tons of pictures but lately I am bad about blogging some of them. Our days are filled with many little moments that I don't want to forget. 

Abby decided to take it upon herself to feed Will. Thanks for the help Abby!

Emma and Will enjoying some books. Emma is loving the idea of learning to read and Will just like to eat the books. The words and pictures are of no interest to him.

If you are not careful he will take the book from you.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a fabulous day this year. Andy and the kids did a great job spoiling me with love, food, and cute little gifts. 

Me and my babies.

My collection. I was so excited to get William's hand and footprint. 

Later in the day we got to celebrate with my parents.

The girls were excited to make Gammie some flower pots with their handprints on them.

Emma's present from school. She is so cute!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the special ladies in our lives!

The 7 Year Itch

Andy and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on Saturday. 7 years of marriage is sometimes referred to as the 7 year itch. For us, we were itching to try something new and revisit an old hobby we both use to enjoy.

Back in the day, before kids, we loved going rock climbing. We had never done it together so we thought we give it a try. It was a fun outing and a great team activity. It was wonderful being able to encourage each other.

For dinner we typically go to our favorite steak house, but I wanted something new. I found my new favorite place in town and hope to go back again. Olive & June was the perfect, quaint restaurant I was looking for.

It was the perfect day of celebrating our marriage and each other. Much love to my husband and all he provides for me and our little family.

Chit-Chat

These girls are always busy on the phone.

Happy 7 Months William Matthew

My little man is 7 months old today. I am not sure how much longer I can call him little. William is growing up very fast! I think this has been the fastest year of my life and I just want to cherish all of this baby that I can.

William at 7 months

-getting into a nap routine. Yippee!!
-wants to be on the move. He is good at getting around by rolling and semi-crawling.
-everything we own must go in his mouth.
-a bottom tooth is wanting to bulge out. Hoping it comes soon!
-has mixed reviews about purees. Some days he likes them and some days he doesn't.
-loves when his sisters play with him. Abby can make him laugh all day.
-laughs when he gets his diaper changed.
-is a very good baby and does a good job tolerating our crazy schedule.

Love you little man!!

How we end our day, him falling asleep in my arms.

Color Me

Our lives have been full of color recently. Emma decided to do her own eye make-up one day. A little goes a long way.

Over the weekend, I participated in The Color Run with some friends. It was a great morning, running and getting splattered with color.

Learning to Crawl

Will is desperately wanting to move and keep up with his sisters. Abby thought she would help him out with crawling by going behind him and putting her hands on his tushy and say push over and over. She is such a great helper.
