5/22/11 - 6/4/11

I really can't believe it's June already!! So far this year has been full of joy, heartache and everything in between and I am so glad I have been able to have it all documented. The BIG things and the little things, the everyday and the extraordinary, the things that make a life.

I love taking pictures of my kids so that family that is not near can watch them grow. I love that I can scrapbook things like our TV or a soda can, and know that 20 years from now we will be able to look back on those things and see how much they have changed. I love that someday my grand kids will be able to look at this book and see what life was like for us, something I would love to have from when my grandmother was my age.

I want to thank Becky Higgins for giving me the opportunity to document life in such a simple and effective way, that I still have the time to actually live it.

6/4/11- We have been slowly spring cleaning over the past couple weeks. Today we tackled our bathroom. It's so nice having everything cleaned and organized. Sometimes, something so simple can make you feel so good.

6/3/11- The big boys helping clean the kitchen floor. Keegan turned cleaning into a slip n slide game to make it more fun.

6/2/11- Dastan wearing his new "babylegs." They are leg warmers for babies and they are great. They even fit over his chubby thighs!

6/1/11- Keegan has really been into helping lately. Today he wanted to change Dastan's diaper all by himself. I had to tell him that he was about to put it on backwards, but other than that he did a good job.

5/31/11- I was able to meet 3 more mommies from my group today. It was a lot of fun getting to meet them and see their baby boy's. I love my "march mommies."

5/30/11- Carpet shampooing time. They look so much nicer now.

5/29/11- Ian found a turtle in our backyard today and brought him in for a visit. Aslan was very curious as to who our new little friend was.

5/28/11- My kids were so naughty that today that they had to go in the stockade. Actually we spent the day at Colonial Williamsburg. It was a lot of fun getting to see how people lived over 200 years ago.

5/27/11- Triston had a bad earache last night and on into the day. So he spent the day cuddled on the couch or cuddled next to me.

5/26/11- Tummy time. Dastan is getting better at tummy time everyday, he rolled over for the first time yesterday (tummy to back). Check out that tongue, he loves sticking it out.

5/25/11- Dastan always holds his hands like this while he is eating. He also wiggles his toes while he eats.

5/24/11- Keegan really likes to make lunch for everyone. Today he made fruit, and it was very tasty!

5/23/11- Apparently he gets to decide what we will be watching today.

5/22/11- WWWHHHAAATTT??? It looks like he's a bit shocked, doesn't it? I laugh every time I see this picture.

Have a great week!
