1- I love these sweet boys. David is always (and has always been) wonderful. But the other day I was thinking about how he's really picked things up to the next level. He's kind, patient, and loving. He works incredibly hard, and although busy season technically is over - he still has some heavy projects he's trying to push through at work. But even though he's still putting in a lot of hours and energy at work, he still gives us 100% at home. I'm amazed by him every day and can't say enough how lucky we are to have him. He knows how to make each one of us feel special and loved and we are blessed by that.
2-I've taken a HUGE step back with Red Ladder Design because I've found that if I take on too much it gets incredibly stressful for me and my kids suffer for it. I have done a handful of wedding announcements over the past few months and I'm glad to say that I was able to keep things pretty balanced. I just finished up my last set of wedding announcements and I'm in love with them. Look at these gorgeous envelopes!
3-We went to the farm with some friends and had such a nice time. It snowed last week (!?!) and had been a little rainy in the morning but the weather was perfect when we went and there were almost NO other people there. The peacock had splayed his feathers all out, which the kids loved, and we rode the horses 4 times in a row. Austin really wanted to ride the horses, but then got nervous and didn't want to ride the first time, but then he decided to try it and after that I couldn't get him off! He really loved it.
4- On Tuesday Caleb just would not nurse. He'd cry and cry and so I'd rock him until he fell asleep thinking that he'd nurse when he woke up and wasn't so tired - but then he wouldn't nurse again and would just fall back asleep. Finally after about 7 hours of him sleeping and/or not nursing - I held my crying baby in my lap while I pumped about 3 oz of milk for him. Pumping is hard for me and I'm not usually very successful at it so I was grateful I was able to get some milk for him. I started feeding him and he took the bottle right away. It was a stressful thing for me, but it was SO sweet because Lydia asked if she could feed him and she sat and fed him the whole thing. By that night he was nursing fine again, so I'm not sure what the deal was... but look how sweet these kids are.
5-I hadn't mopped my floor since Caleb was born. (Over 2 months.) Don't judge. Spot cleaning was getting us through, but I finally decided to bite the bullet and do it. At our house, mopping is a family affair. :)
6-These boys are cute. It won't be too long before Caleb starts catching up to Austin in size! (Also, we're hoping to potty train Austin this summer. He's definitely interested and probably ready but I've been putting it off.)
6-My cousin, Trey Knowles, is getting married tomorrow and my Grandma and Grandpa Knowles were in town from Boise for the wedding. We had them over for dinner and to hang out tonight and it was such a nice time. I love my Grandparents so much and am so glad it worked out that we could spend so much time with them. I'm glad that even though they live far away, my kids are growing up knowing and loving them, too.
Happy Friday!
