Blessing

seriously, when it all comes down to it, aren't we all just there for the food?? the delicious hand-made food?? yum.

I like this picture, it showed how our attention was pulled in a hundered different places at once! It was so fun to see everyone and catch up. I loved that we had the dinner at our in-law's new house! wahoo! that means we're going to start renos soon! hoot hoot! I can't wait to get into the farmhouse!


And this is the lady who pulled it all together - Lane's grandma, the woman who cannot be stopped! she is a PRO at family dinners!

A few of Lane's close friends - except that i am for some reason cut out...i should be on the other side of lane! thanks dad....

yah for family! mandy...i miss you already!! We had so much fun! we have these big dreams of making everything handmade...although our latest venture into soap making didn't happen...it will though mandy! i promise!
Brodyn, cutest little nefew ever!

Dad was snapping pictures the whole time, and i like this one he took, we are just having a short sweet moment that i don't even remember. These two boys are my life and i love them so much!

The new faces of Locke!

Oh my goodness, i love this little guy so much! i thought he was fun before, but last week Gracie was holding him making a squeeling sound - and he did NOT approve! it was the first time he frowned and oh my heck, how does your heart not MELT over a fat lip?? he was babied big time after that, i assure you.

Lazy summer days...

Yeah, they're blurry, but i think i've already learned what i did wrong. But here they are anyway, what a little cutie! so sleepy, so lovely...


Cute little headbands i made to supplement my sister in law Mandy's candle home parties. get informed here

some little shots of Locke one afternoon. I can't believe how mature he is getting - his ability to focus on faces still surprises me. like when i'm holding him bustling around the house and stop for a minute to answer the phone i love how his eyes always try to find my face when he hears me start talking. Babies are so smart, i love how he loves me. even more then grandma...when he's fussy for her i love how i can take him and nustle him against my chest so he can smell me and know its his mom. I just love this little guy so much! and i feel like everyday i bond more with him and when I see glimpses of Lane in him i realize that this truely is our baby! truthfully when i see pieces of me it still scares me a bit - It makes me realize what a huge decision we've made to have kids. A huge decision. but a really good one. i feel like i've never been so happy!!!
