Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
While Maxwell isn’t quite the talented artist his Uncle Keath is…
he is getting pretty good at drawing the turtles!
I was pretty impressed with his creativity on them. And I helped him spell the names but he wrote each of the turtle’s names himself!
Turtle Power!
What a great weekend! What all went down? Well…
Samantha took her first “real bath”…
and looked really, really cute…
and did a little tummy time for the first time!
Also love this pic in black and white that I put on IG…
We had a visit from Lulu and Granddaddy to bring Valentine surprises…
We played tiger…
We opened more Valentine goodies – Batman and TMNJ books!
We played in the playroom (well, the boys did while I got to escape the house ALONE and go to to Target! Best Valentine’s gift ever!)…
We went out to a Valentine lunch where Samantha did her arm exercises in her sleep…
What up?
We enjoyed the beautiful weather in the backyard…
The boys went to church…
and we just had a great weekend all around! Hope you did too! See you tomorrow!
We’ve been celebrating Valentine’s Day early around here. The boys don’t have school today so they both had their school Valentine party on Wednesday. We made our cards last weekend and what kind did we make?
Big cats of course! 🙂 I was so proud of Maxwell for writing all of the wording on his cards. He then drew some cats on his and Spencer’s and then we just made color copies and tied them to the different masks.
Maxwell’s…
and Spencer’s…
Cute…and candy free! 🙂 I didn’t know Valentine’s Day was basically Halloween 2.0 until the boys got into school and came home with tons and tons of candy. They obviously love it!
On Wednesday, the boys wore their red and Samantha wore her pink, of course!
Maxwell had a great time at his school party and even ate some McDonald’s chicken nuggets. shocker! Love this picture of him with Mrs. Kathy…
and here’s my whole crew after school!
When we got home, we went through all the loot and goodies! They scored big!
While Robert will always “be mine”, we both know Valentine’s Day is all about the kids now and I’m so happy to have these 3 little Valentines!
My heart could burst! Happy Valentine’s Day!
First, Samantha had her 2 week check-up yesterday and is up to 7lbs, 13oz! She’s obviously a good eater! That puts her in the 75th % for weight. She’s 20.5 inches long now which puts her in the 50th-75th % for height. Head circumference is 14. Growing girl!
She had to get her heel pricked which she didn’t like at all but, we survived.
Tuesday was kind of a rough day. We had some carpet installers here and their banging and staple guns meant Samantha did more of this…
than this.
Then Maxwell slipped getting out of the bath and ended up with a very fat lip!
Poor guy.
But, we’re still making it fine. Let’s focus on something fun like the Sunday Stroll we took last weekend. The boys had on their glasses and were ready to go!
Our walk ended up being way longer than we anticipated but it was gorgeous weather and we were all happy for the fresh air. Spencer insisted on walking – or actually jogging – the entire way only getting in the stroller when we made him. He probably walked 2 miles!
He also bit it about 6 times but he’d just get up, wipe his hands off and keep going! This kid is tough…and cute!
Samantha enjoyed it all from the sling – her first ride in it!
Here’s to better days and many more pretty afternoon strolls!
Maxwell is SO sweet with Samantha. He just wants to rub his cheek on her cheek and pat her head and give her little hugs and kisses all the time. He’s frankly frustrated that she sleeps so much because he wants to be able to play with her whenever he wants! The way he talks to her is precious too – “Hi sweetheart. Hey sweetie. Hi sweet pea.” Such a good big brother.
These pictures are from when Samantha was just about 5 days old….
He just loves to love on her.
I mean…basically the sweetest thing ever.
Samantha sure got lucky in the big brother department!
And I sure got lucky in the kid department! 🙂
