A few weeks past her big day but I finally completed this apron for my aunt's birthday.

Love when I find my boys lost in a book, especially when they are sitting side-by-side.

My husband finally did our taxes this week {leave it to the accountant to wait until the very last minute - though, in his defense, he's a forensic accountant so taxes are not his thing} and after announcing the amount our refund would be, we both immediately and simultaneously said: Sounds to me like a new {insert object we have each been pining for i.e. for me that would be a new lens}. Then we both laughed at our knee-jerk, selfish reactions because, well, what did our refund go towards in reality? A new supply of cloth diapers which you know you need to replace when your two-year-old points to the one you're about to put on him and says: Silly Mommy, that diaper is broken!

For whatever reason, getting over the hump of my babies turning one is hard for me. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's the truth. {It's no coincidence that I have gotten pregnant each time my youngest was about thirteen or fourteen months!} So, now that my youngest has passed that twelve month hurdle, I am trying to simply embrace these fleeting baby moments of holding him on my hip, nursing him to sleep, and watching him crawl around while they last.
