My sweet, sweet boy just turned 9 and I can hardly believe it.

Happy birthday to my most favorite boy in the whole wide world. I love you so. xo

And just like that…my baby girl turned four.

Happy birthday to my sweet little birdie!  I love you so.  xo

It’s hard to tell if she’s trying to grab a handful of bubbles or sunshine, but either way I’d say it’s a good choice.

When your 8 year old boy spontaneously makes you a valentine with three exclamation marks you know you are a very lucky momma. I hope your heart day week is off to a good start, too! xo

Last year I resolved to take more photos of our everyday life and I’m so glad I did.  Now I have hundreds of photos from 2012 to look back on!  I also made a point to start getting some of the photos printed, and it was so much fun to see how much my kids enjoyed it.  There’s something so special about holding the photos in your hand, instead of just seeing them on the computer screen, and until I saw it in their faces I’d forgotten all about that fact.  My kids adored looking through the moments of our daily life that had been captured, so this year I’m resolving to do more.

More photo taking.

More photo printing.

More moments recorded.
