The Last Two Weeks

I can't seem to stay awake to post anymore. I have felt head-to-toe tired, and there's no reason. Everyone in the house is healthy, the kids are sleeping well, and our routine isn't any more packed than usual. PLUS, I had my mom here all week to entertain and assist {which she did ten-fold}.


You'd think I would be crazy energized, but instead I'm snoozing alarms, dragging my feet, and dozing off while reading bedtime books to Buby and Bleu. I wake up with a book in my lap, a nursing baby in my arms, and a whole late-night agenda to go.


So while I have not listened to voice mails, responded to emails or blogged much in two weeks, I am thoroughly enjoying playtime with our little tribe and doing my best to conquer the 6 Cs of my life this season: commuting, classes, cooking, cleaning, creating, and counting blessings.


Some visual reminders of now.





1. I'm so glad these two are still friends. Five years later.
2. Colorful bouquet from Buby after his workday adventure in the city.
3. Paper rainbow + Starbucks straw = cool birthday banner.





1. Ollie will be 5 months. He's the jolliest old soul. Every minute with him feels like a gift.





1. Bleu girl making oatmeal/cranberry/peanut butter/chip cookies with Grandma.





1. "Magical" necklace making with G. Buby and Bleu went on to make several others.





1. Buby is all about patterns. 2. Ollie drools now. 3. Bleu takes so much pride.




1. Bleu's weekly lunch out with her two favorite ladies.




1. Marshmallow building with the kiddos. I first saw the idea here.






1. Running wild at our favorite nature conservatory.






1. Watching two brown bears with Grandma.





1. The awesomest carousel. I can't wait for Ollie's turn.






1. St. Patrick's celebration in G's hood. The kids were the parade.





1. Wanting for Spring.




1. Must-have: Bubble refills.




1. One clue that Grace was over: A massive fort.




1. Water. Fountain. Obsessed. Bleu assists E. after gymnastics class.





1. Tricycles and tennis in the snow.




1. Buby's baby doll in Bleu's carrier. She has become quite the nurturer.
