Sweetness

April 5, 2013

This week has just been crazy busy and I haven’t even begun to go through all of the lake/Easter photos.  Next week I promise!

Today, another Instagram goodie to end your week…

I could just die at the sweetness.

Sometimes Maxwell is a little cranky when he wakes up from his nap so I had taken Spencer in there with me when he woke up and put him in Maxwell’s bed.  Maxwell loved it.  Having Spencer in his bed with him is one of his favorite things – right next to getting into Spencer’s bed!  He does love his ya-ya!

Happy weekend!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Best buds

April 4, 2013

Maxwell loves going to school and I love his little class this year.  There’s 6 of them – Maxwell, William, Law, James, Lila and Mary Hamner.

Here’s the crew, minus James, at their little school Easter egg hunt…

Law (the redhead) was tops around here for a while but William has now edged him out for best bud status.  We talk about “Will-wam” a lot.  “Will-wam funny.”  “I want to sit next to Will-wam at lunch.”  Ms. Jen says Maxwell, William and Law are just the cutest little trio and are always playing together.  When I picked Maxwell up from school yesterday he was playing with William so I had to snap some pics…

Love these sweet faces!

As for Spencer’s best bud, I think I’m still tops right now…as long as you don’t count Maxwell!  🙂

2 types of swings

April 2, 2013

Hope I fooled a few of you yesterday.  This year GJ was finally on to me…I guess she had to wise up at some point!  😉

We really did have a WONDERFUL Easter weekend at the lake.  I took a ton of pictures over the course of 48 hours – 789 to be exact – so it’s going to take me just a bit to go through those and get them up here.  I promise you’ll see them all though because there are some good ones on my camera!  Unfortunately, Maxwell was up all night Sunday night with the croup and was feeling pretty pitiful all day yesterday.  We’ve got some meds and are hoping for a quick recovery.

Until I can get through all the lake pictures, here a few more tot lot pictures – swinging two ways!

Finding balance

April 1, 2013

Happy Monday everyone!  We had a really fun Easter weekend at the lake.  It gave me a chance to really think on a lot of things I’m trying to balance in my life.  Work, babies, family, friends…blogging.  We’re all trying to find balance every day…even Maxwell at the tot lot.  Gotta practice that balance!

He’s got great balance!  Right now, I don’t have such great balance.  There’s just too much to do and not enough time in the day so something has to give.  I’m sad to say that the thing that has to give is the blog.  I just can’t do it all and am going to be signing off for…well, I don’t know for how long. Hopefully not indefinitely.  I’ve loved seeing you all here every day and hope to see you all again when I can get things a little more in control in my life.  I’m leaving you with some sweet pictures of my little Spencer…he and his brother are the reason I’m signing off after all.

Thanks for reading and April Fools.  Did I get you?  I’m never quitting this bloggy blog…knowing I’m capturing all these memories is the only thing making me feel balanced these days!  🙂  See you tomorrow!

Egg Hunt

March 29, 2013

Last Sunday we went to the egg hunt at church and Maxwell had a ball.  We’ve been having egg hunts around the house for about 2 weeks now so he was ready for the real thing!  🙂

Looking cute and Easter-y!

Spencer and I met Robert and Maxwell up at church and all of Maxwell’s Sunday School friends were very interested in checking out the baby!

Luckily big brother Maxwell stepped in to save Spencer!

I don’t think Spencer minded sweet Anne checking him out though!  🙂

It was then time to head over to the hunt which they had moved inside because of the soggy, wet ground.  While waiting, Maxwell got his basket stuck on his head…

I laughed and took another picture before finally helping him get it off!  🙂

Spencer enjoyed the hunt from the comfort of his stroller…

But Maxwell was on a mission…

His goal wasn’t to get as many eggs as possible though…

No, his goal was to get all the ORANGE eggs he could find!  He only wanted those orange ones!

He knows what he likes!  He ended up with a pretty full basket with mostly orange eggs plus a few red and yellow mixed in.  Not a blue or green in sight!  He was even more excited when I showed him the eggs had candy in them!

Even though he looks upset here, he’s actually just smiling through a mouthful of chocolate and trying not to lose any!!

Happy Easter!
