boys rule

thanks to bee-bop apple for these cool shades for jackman:)

love.

"the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love."
ps 103.8

"love is patient. love is kind..."
1 cor 13.4

"...love covers a multitude of sins"
1 peter 4.8

"we love because he first loved us"
1 john 4.19

thankful for a husband who, by the grace of God through Jesus Christ, is able to love his pregnant, moody wife.

it takes a lot seeing as his wife has been in this stage for the majority of their marriage thus far...

thanks lou for giving me grace and trying to make me laugh even when i don't want to.

she's electric!

goooooodberrys.

 a few weeks back nat and the kids came into town on her birthday, so naturally a trip to goodberrys was in order. (what did i tell you? we always get some sweet treat when we're with aunt natalie. birthday or no birthday!)

 ooops.
the classic 'drop-of-the-entire-ice-cream-cone-on-the-ground' scenario.
oh well, shaved off the top and ate the rest. and had fun looking at the melting ice cream on the ground.

look at these faces. walking advertisement i tell you. yum city.

and no i didn't forget to put a pic of the birthday girl on the blog. she refuses to have pics taken far to often...come on niblet:)

the finger

i'm pretty sure every kid has a phase they go through where they point to everything under the sun.
lj did when she was around 12-16 months and she would always say "doosh, doosh" as she's pointing to something. jack is now in that phase and he tends to hyper-extend his finger either upward or downward and make some sort of grunting noise, "uuuhhhh, uuuuuuhhh".
cracks us up:)
i love watching a little mind at work!

sweet treat

the new joke is that when we're with aunt natalie, the kids always have some kind of sweet treat. it's true. she can't help it. but i love it, even though i give her a hard time about it.
for milana's birthday a few weeks ago we had cupcakes outside...funfetti de-lish-ous-ness:)





someone was not happy they couldn't join in on the birthday fun:(





early harvest

with the warm winter we had, there is an early harvest of strawberries so we went picking at a local grower in apex for mom and cathy's birthday last saturday!
