“when you accept gods will in every aspect of your life, you will find god providing you with strength, courage and a dignity that resounds to the heavens. it resounds to the heavens because it doesn’t have that far to go. heaven, you see, is suddenly in your heart.” – mother mary angelica
two years strong…
i cant believe these last few years have gone by so fast. the monday before easter, samuel had his yearly eye exam with our favorite eye doctor. his prescription has changed just a tiny bit in one eye, but the doctor thinks he could use a little more wear and tear on his glasses before we get a new pair. samuel you did so great. you had a hard time with eye drops but quickly bounced back. i have loved watching you fill in these glasses. they fit you so well now. i’ve noticed recently how you want them immediately when you wake up or get out of the bathtub. you are such a big boy now and realize how much they help you! i also love when you draw yourself and make sure that you have your glasses on in the picture. you melt our hearts big time kid.
since the appointment was the monday before easter, we made a week of it and hung out in bc. mama got out and was able to visit with some of her best friends
{ didn’t get many pics to prove it, but memories are better 🙂 }
we enjoyed some rather cool afternoons that week, along with one sick day for jack 🙁
these guys made the best of the crazy week. so thankful for the two years samuel has had his glasses, for yet another good eye doctor visit, for the visits with friends i miss so much and thankful for these babies who keep me on my toes.

bluebonnets.. take one
yes, i got you guys up and headed out the door all for the sun to still be too bright. :/ i’m determined when this rain clears out to go back in the evening. i can’t believe how much more they have popped up after easter! this is mama’s favorite part of spring….
who says its hard to get three kids to look at the camera…and smile? i completely agree with them. these kids are so loved, they still got an ice cream cone to celebrate.

muddy puddles!
jack and samuel,
we pray every night you two stay close to one another. you have the best friendship. ever.

hello march {in bc}
this quick trip was actually before jack’s first tball game of the season. mama went to visit nadia before their new addition arrives 🙂 jack and samuel only had one night to play with joshua during this visit. the poor thing ended up with a fever after the first night we got there. they still played their hearts out though. the weather was perfect. there was lots of swinging, riding “joeys” and telling knock knock jokes…
{first time in gramps and granny’s high chair plus the first time to eat a graham cracker}
thank you gramps and granny for letting us soak up the gorgeous weather with you!
xxoo
put me in coach!
he’s ready to play another season!
the biggest littlest fans…
we loaded up the car after the game i couldn’t help but smile…sitting right by our car was a big butterfly.
i think we got our “hello” or rather “good game” from heaven 🙂
we are so excited for this season and so proud of daddy for taking on the role as coach. they had an awesome first game!

{seven months}
anna kate frances, i think you are loving seven months. you are trying so many new tricks!
you recently said goodbye to the swaddle at night 🙁 but you are handling it much better than mama …you are trying new foods like avocado, bananas, sweet potatoes and apple sauce. you liked it all and then hated it all but now i think you are back to liking it all again. you love puffs and graham crackers for sure and you love picking them up by yourself. you have been feeling under the weather for the last week due to allergies i think but it doesn’t stop you from having fun. you get super excited when we start walking upstairs. i think you know it means playtime. you love swinging and jumping. you love music, especially the baby kangaroo song. its pretty darn cute to watch you when the song comes on. life with you just gets better and better. we are so excited and a little nervous to see you on the move!
happy 7 months anna kate, we love you!
