“I never want to do this again!” I’m sure I’ve said it every time we’ve moved. But this time feels so much more overwhelming. Doesn’t help that I have two babies to take care of amongst all the chaos of packing and unpacking. And the daily tasks still need to be done. Washing clothes, washing bottles, washing bodies. Words like struggle, heavy, stretched thin, come to mind.
But I do have to admit I’m enjoying the decorating challenge. Deciding what pictures go where, what to display, and we couldn’t have picked a better house that is my style. Everything is fitting perfectly. I’m pulling out pictures we’ve had in storage over a year. All the little parts of my old life in Utah and I’m enjoying seeing them again.
One project I’m putting together is inspired by this blue frame I found a few months ago. And since I have a huge wall to fill, I want two large vertical portraits of my boys against a blue wall. They’ll go over our bed. And I love that they’ll be there to smile back at me when the bedroom door is open. Now I just need to shoot the perfect pictures.

Here’s from my first attempt. There was a little too much sun. I’m hoping to try again on a cloudy day. And I think Perry took better pictures than me. I’ve got to try again.

Our life in little moments.

He is growing so fast. Faster than I remember Jack growing. But Jack was my first, and every waking minute was spent marveling at him and his existence. Time was slow back then. I could rock him for hours and watch him sleep.
I can’t be slow now. I’ve got a curious toddler to keep track of, and right now he’s in his loud phase. I keep reminding myself to slow down and marvel Scott’s existence and who he is.
Today Scott caught the giggles, and just looking at him set him off. So I slowed, and became his giggle maker. With my camera to the side, we were smiling face to face, and I wished he could be 5 months old for 5 more months.

I just can’t get enough of this hat that frames his face and pops those eyes. Simply adorable.

And my baby has a pearl, an Epstein Pearl. Do you see it on his gums? He’s had it for over a month that I’ve noticed and it should just go away soon. I had never heard of them before.
.
And Jack was getting antsy that I wasn’t paying him any attention, and kept getting in my face. What can I say, he use to be the target of my camera.
.
ah, I love your face, Jack.
And from Facebook:
My toddler started a new game: Poo Ball. It’s were you take the poo balls from your diaper and throw them all over your room.
I don’t like playing it.
I’m loving the interaction between them. Especially the time we were on grandma’s trampoline, and Jack tripped and fell on which caused Scott to bust up laughing. I love that Jack kisses him, right on the lips. I love how Scott just quietly watches Jack. I love that they will always remember just having each other around.
