Santa baby

Laina and I stumbled upon this little Santa outfit that we put E in when he was a baby….and of course Austin had to take his turn, too! Laina just had too much fun looking at Austin in this outfit. He’s a pretty squishy, jolly person…so he played the part […]

Big sister, little brother

These four had a blast together. Laina and Elsa are the same age, and so are Elijah and Elias. I tried to keep my distance as the big sisters pretended their little bros were their babies :). I know the girls were loving it, but not so sure about the […]

Tree lighting

It was priceless to see the level of excitement that both Laina and Elijah showed this year at our neighborhood tree lighting! Laina could barely contain herself, and Elijah was more curious about this whole Santa thing. When Santa arrived, Laina’s face brightened up instantly, and Elijah was just very […]

Elijah and Elias

These two have had a few play dates recently, and the other day I grabbed my camera and snapped a few. What I’ve learned about these two is that they play really well together for about 2 hours….then they are over it :).

Zoo Lights!

Time to get serious about keeping our blog current. I’m implementing one of my resolutions a bit early and I’m going to give it my best effort to maintain this again. I have a lot of catching up to do, but I’ll just start with our fun December memories. This […]

Del Ray Art Festival

Preschool!

This picture is a couple months old, but I am still determined to play catch up with our family blog! Seems like a stretch considering I haven’t been able to keep up with it basically since Elijah was born, but I am going to give it a try! I know […]

Trick or Treat!

“You know what my favorite holiday is Mommy?? HALLOWEEN!!” Laina talked about Halloween for months…looked at Halloween magazines, talked about which costumes she wanted to wear, how we should decorate our house, how we should carve our pumpkins, etc. She fluctuated a little bit this year when deciding what she […]

this song is dedicated to…

Elijah! There is no way to explain how kids change your life.  Before we had kids, everyone gave us the same song and dance about how it changes everything but we were blissfully unaware.  On top of that, what you realize once you have more than 1 child, is that […]

Hi Baby

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the way Elijah say “Hieeeeeeyy, Beeebeee” every time he sees Austin. The way he says it is full of affection.
