"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Owen: Celebrating his cousins 1st birthday with a train party. Wearing his train hat and enjoying his rootbeer. He sure loves his cousin. 

Baby: A little book to record your sweet life, big brothers comb and the second time we got to see you and hear your precious heartbeat. Its hard to believe that was a month ago. When I asked your big brother if you were a boy or a girl he said, "maybe a goose!" We love you so much, our little goose. 

Counting the Days

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside,

when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time,

and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Owen: He is a big brother!! It was so sweet to watch him pick out a bunny for the baby. He knew right away that the baby should have the "black" bunny. 

Baby: I am due November 15th with our second little sweet pea. We couldn't be more excited that God has blessed us with another baby!

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Owen: He let us know a couple of weeks ago that he wanted tiny hair. He was like a little old man sitting there happily getting his hair cut. What a big boy he is.

These two

I'm so grateful for these two. I found these images from our time together last April in Fort Bragg. They have such a very special relationship with each other and mean so much to me. 

Easter goodies

I love to look at Easter goodies for Owen. I love to have a little basket and a few things for him to hunt for. Each year he is at a different stage. I cherish my memories from the past years and look forward to seeing how he is more grown up this Easter from the last. I love remembering his first Easter, Paul and I were so excited about hiding eggs for the first time and he didn't really know what was going on. Last year he was so excited to find eggs we just kept hiding them again and again like the never ending egg hunt. I was putsing around online for non-candy Easter treats and thought I would share a few. So far we have what we need for coloring eggs and a harmonica and natural play dough for his basket. I better collect my last things soon. Its just around the corner. What are you getting for your kids Easter baskets this year?
