I'm thankful for...

my sweet little Noah, the newest addition to my gang of boys, oh how I love every chubby inch of him!



my ENERGENIC toddler, whom I grow to love more and more everyday.



and for Edgar, the leader of the gang, awesome father and husband.

The Simple Things-Baby Toes

Its amazing how flexible babies are. Yesterday I went to a Pilate's class and today I am VERY sore, which gives me even more appreciation for how easily Noah can pull his chubby legs legs up and put his toes into his drooling mouth. My little man is so easily entertained:)

Raking Leaves Again

This fall we (um...ok Edgar) had to rake the leaves in our yard several times. And every time Tristan LOVED helping out. Then last weekend the boys and I were hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's house and my dad was raking too. Tristan was all about helping Grandpa rake and really got into using his Tristan-sized rake, although I'm not really sure how much help he was.




Hard at work!



Jumping in the pile you've raked, the best part!

The Simple Things

I’m joining Rebecca Cooper, author of the blog, "Simple as That," and totally amazing photographer, in documenting the simple things in my daily life, the little things and the little moments that make me smile. Each week I’ll post a photo of something simple that made me happy the past week.




Its been awhile now that Tristan has been into lining up all his cars, nice and orderly. But his latest thing is lining them up, crashing into them, lining them up again, crashing into them again...

This morning he got out all his cars and started this routine. Then he decided mommy should line up the cars so he asked-errr demanded (yes he's 2), "Mommy put them," and I complied.

Little did I know how gratifying this could be. Simple.
