Our Day in Photos

Here's a day in photos. It's not a special day, just a regular day, doing regular things :)

Things I didn't photograph: me snipping at the toddlers, toddlers throwing food, me force-feeding Graham mashed potatoes because he wouldn't eat lunch, diaper-changes, me wasting time on the internets. Also, there's 1 picture of Graham watching a movie...that wasn't the only time he watched a movie though...

But here it is:

Waking up happy:
 Breakfast: Burned egg that Daddy made. Didn't go over well. Ended up eating a million blueberries instead.
 Frankie and Graham love books right now. Especially this one:
 Naptime = Mommy's snack. Homemade carrot cake from Behn's co-worker:
 Up and ready to play:
 A walk downtown:
 Daffodils:
 Playing at Hopkins Green:
 Movie Time:
 Got a hold of mama's phone:
 Smiling because he knows he can't have the phone:
 Dinner: Homemade Fettucine Alfredo, Spinach Salad: 
 No bath tonight, Daddy putting on G's pj's: 
 Brushing all 6 Teeth:
 That's the jist of it! I should've taken a photo of myself collapsed into bed at 8:30 p.m. I'm always exhausted at the end of the day.

However, looking at these photos makes me realize how long, tiring, and sweet these days are :-)

    Aww. Love the post. Looks very similar to a day with the Isaac and me. Isaac has a lot of days too where he watches a bit more of a show then I probably should let him... but well.. you know... it can be helpful!

    Also, my mom has those plates (the cake pic)!!! :)

Currently (what's up right now)

Ok, few dear readers, I haven't heard from you much lately. Which I get...because sometimes this blog is kind of BOOOORRRRING! So, just for fun, here's what is going on currently: Currently Watching: Downton Abbey , like the rest of the world. The heard the season finale on Sunday is 'devastating.' How can anything be more devastating than episode 4?? Downton , I warn you, if you are disappointing or break my heart, I will leave you.           I also dabble in Parks and Rec and Parenthood , with a side of The Bachelor . Currently Sweating: me, on the treadmill in the basement. This, with the combination of cutting out sodas and some snacks, means that the jeans that were very  tight when I first had Patrick are now comfortably baggy. YES! I still have work to do, but am feeling better about myself. Currently Reading: 7  by Jen Hatmaker You guys, I love this book.  "A mutiny against excess." Jen Hatmaker journals through seven months of givin

Patrick Wilford is Here!

Both of my boys (what, I have 2 boys?) are napping right now, so it's time to update this blog with Patrick's birth story before I forget the details. Words to describe Patrick's birth: terrifying. fast. wonderful. merciful. unforgettable. We'll start with Friday, September 7th. I had my 39 week OB appointment and was 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Promising, but no guarantee I'd go into labor too soon. However, I did go ahead and schedule an elective induction for the following Tuesday (the 11th) because I liked the idea of knowing I'd make it to the hospital, plus my favorite doctor was on call that day, plus Behn had that whole week off of work so I knew he'd be there for everything. So it just made sense, even though I did want to try to have another natural childbirth. On Saturday (the 8th), I was excited because I knew there was a coldfront coming in. I was so ready for cool, unhumid air, but also was hopeful the change in the air pressure would c

Off the Bookshelf

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I have been reading. Here is what is on my bookshelf: The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson I first got to know Clarkson when I read the book Desperate, which she co-authored with Sarah Mae. I friend from church had raved about Clarkson, and so lent me this book when I showed interest in more of her writing. I'm only a few chapters in, but loving it so far. And, frankly, I really need to be reading these sort of books right now, in the throes of "Stop it!" "Don't kick your brother!" "Obey me RIGHT NOW" and the never ending dishes...the early mornings...the snotty noses...the incessant whining...the poopy diapers...in all the ordinary and mundane that is motherhood. To be reminded this is a mission- gives it so much more significance. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays by Ree Drummond My sweet sister-in-law Lydia gifted me with this (signed!) copy of the Pioneer
