hello march {in bc}

{photography}, cousins, kids, sister

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…

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!

jack,  i think samuels love for drawing is rubbing off on you.   you are much more proud of your work and we are all so excited that you are writing new letters.  you discovered you could do it all by yourself when you drew a basketball game with ut vs tcu.   this is a picture of you mad that ut lost a game.   you and your sports crack me up…

about a month ago daddy called me up and asked if he could take jack to a ut basketball game.   its jack’s new hobby,  all. things. basketball.    seeing as how we have a crazy semester going on, i asked if  we { me, samuel and ak}  were invited too.   i told daddy it could be a fun family trip, despite who was playing basketball :p  ….   it really was a great day.   the kids were awesome and we all had a great time!    anna kate,  you were a trooper.

until next time austin…
