My Babies ans Me...

Embrace the Camera again!

Our days seem to be flying by lately...

I suppose having a newborn in the house

and being that I am trying to savor every moment

of those newborn days

has something to do with the days flying by!

Angelina is three weeks old already...

how can that even be possible?

 Yesterday I got out the trusty

tripod and attempted to take some nice pictures...

 Angelina is such a calm baby...

now that she has longer periods of being awake,

she loves to just look around.

 We used to use the tripod all the time and

the kids loved it...

it got shoved to the back of the closet while

I was on bedrest...

So the kids were super excited to see that I

pulled it out again!

 Girl time!

James is in the picture too...

but all you can see is his feet!

He randomly decided to lay down for the picture,

so Elsie and I squeezed together in front of him!

I Love my kids.

I truly feel blessed.

Even when we are having a bad day...

{like a "terrible two'' kind of day}

I still have a deep down kind of joy and happiness.

Being a mother is what I am meant

to be doing.

I am in my happy place.

That said, I don't walk around with a smile on my face

all day long...

my mom gets far too many exasperated texts from me!

because being a mom is hard work...

especially when one child is 2, one a newborn

and one you are supposed to be homeschooling!

I guess the trick is to find contentment in the little

things and cherish those

little moments of pure happiness...
