Here is the last couple weeks in pictures...

Carter's 6 month appointment.  He is 20 lbs, healthy and strong!  And I am forever grateful.

We had a couple of days last week where all three of us were not feeling great.  There was a lot of whining, a lot more TV than usual and a whole bunch of snuggles. 

The weather has been mostly incredible lately!  I can NOT stay inside when we have such gorgeous days.

A date night with Craig. 

She was probably feeling icky. But, even when she feels great, she snuggles her daddy SO tight.  She LOVES him so much.

We made a very sweet card for Craig for Valentine's.  And then, she had a bath. ;)

Hanging out with cousin, Justus.  Carter likes to grab faces.

I got away by myself to run.  THIS is where I get to run, and it will NEVER get old to me.  Looking at this pic just rejuvenates my soul.

And this was our Valentine's dinner.  Paper plates and SUPER delicious crab legs.  OH, and two whiny kiddos.  Not the most romantic, but that's our life now, right?

In love with this picture.  She needs a piano.  So, I am searching for a little one.  Let me know if you find one! 

Enjoying an awesome Sunday afternoon. 

My super silly kids, and super messy house.  The Norm.

For a few weeks, we have watched Carter go from pivoting on his belly, to army crawling to FAST army crawling, to trying so hard to sit up, to SITTING.  He is moving SO much.  He crawls over obstacles, whether that obstacle be his cousin or a toy.  He started sitting up just last week, and had it totally mastered in like two days.  He is growing up SO fast, I cannot keep up.  It seems like he just wants to get up and go for a run with me.  

Not yet, Carter man.  Please, stay my baby for a little bit longer.  Love, Momma

Look how sweet.  She felt a little sick here, and I rested with her on the couch for a while.  We listened to lullabies and snuggled under cozy blankets.  I HATE it when she is sick, but love her tenderness when she is. 

Ummm,cutest baby ever!  BABY.  Not a toddler yet.  He is my BABY.  ;)

Have a fabulous weekend.  I am going to do my best this weekend to celebrate the last hours of my twenties.  I turn 30 on Tuesday.  Yipes. 

Wednesday

Daddy came to play at Gymboree today...

Keek

Just recently, I found out about Keek.  I created a profile, and post videos of my adorable children.  You can find me HERE.

Annabelle's room

It's been almost three years since we have moved into this house. I did not think we would be in here for three years, so wall decor and any kind of organization has taken me a while. Annabelle's room finally has a little more character and is a well lived in space. More about my awesome phone, it takes panoramic pictures. Here are some pics of her room...

Pics of the week

I got an awesome new phone for Christmas this year, and since then, I have taken a TON of pictures and gone Instagram crazy. It's pretty fantastic to have a phone that works as quickly and as quality as this one. I also got this blog app on here, so I can blog right from my phone. No more waiting to upload pics to the computer and taking a chunk of my afternoon just to write a blog post. THIS is why I have posted much more often. I hope to someday print some of this blog into a book, so I want all these picture memories documented.

Also, I have seriously thought about making this a private blog, open only to those I invite by email. I'm still really thinking about it. If you would like to continue to follow my blog, please sende your email address and I will gladly add you. You can find my email in the CONTACT tab above. ^

Enjoy some pics from the week....
(Check out that little boy who wants to crawl. Already on all fours!)

Daughter Date

A good friend of mine offered to watch Carter so that Annabelle and I could go on a date. This morning, I took her up on that offer and spent some time with my girl. Chick Fil A waffle fries, ice cream sundae and an indoor playscape. I love that girl.
