Saturday was hectic. We bundled everyone up and ventured out to our local tree farm, same as last year (plus two)! We knew it would be a challenge to juggle two babies and billy while searching for and cutting down a tree, but we were delusional up for it. Here’s how it went down- billy wanted to explore and subsequently fell into a (small) hole, henry started freaking out, marie decided to make a big mess in her diaper, and we began debating whether to call the whole thing off and forget a tree this year. Needless to say these photos were taken before the chaos ensued. Just more evidence that the lives of bloggers are not always as effortlessly beautiful as photos may portray! However-we did bring home a tree, and it is a reminder of our chaotic new life…full of love, laughter, and yes, a LOT of diapers.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and this photo pretty much sums up what we’re thankful for this year…it’s overwhelming really. My talented blogger/photographer friend Kayla took this beautiful shot a few weeks ago, and thanks to her we have many new family favorites. I’m going to unplug the rest of the week to focus on family and friends but I’ll be back on Saturday with a gift guide and of course, more baby pics. Wishing you all a bountiful and memorable Thanksgiving!

 

four months…

henry + marie

Four. Four months. Already! It seems every day brings a new first-eating hands, grasping objects, smiling at each other, rolling over, and soon…solid food. Their little personalities continue to develop and delight us. Our days are filled with baby laughs and giggles…times two! Is there anything better?!

 

three is a magic number

 

You know what they say…three is a magic number. As it turns out, it has been quite significant throughout my life, and especially incredible when it comes to our babies. The first two months were a lot of work, with minimal return for our efforts. We were in a sleep deprived stupor most of the time, and newborns mostly just eat, sleep, and poop. The three month mark was a major turning point, for us all. We are more comfortable in our new roles, and they are more at ease in general. All of a sudden, they have become little people! A boy and a girl with two very different personalities, smiles, and fascinations. A curiosity for everything-mommy’s glasses, billy kisses, the sun through the trees, and just last week-each other. It is truly an honor to discover the world again through their eyes…their innocence and wonder is disarmingly beautiful. Three has been absolutely magical, and as much as I want to freeze it in time, I can’t wait for what’s to come.

It started with the red velvet chair, inherited from my grandparents. Currently residing in the basement awaiting reupholstery, it was just waiting to be in the spotlight. Brought into the sun for a few days, it provided endless inspiration and the perfect backdrop to showcase some heart melting outfits. There is something so fun about dressing babies in adultlike clothing…we had a laugh thinking that they even looked “sexy”. Marie is sassy in cheetah, and Henry is sporting his sweet v-neck onesie and first pair of jeans. Billy was dying for some camera time + got in on the red velvet action!
