Beautiful morning in our postcard downtown

Caroline loves church because a) coloring and b) coffee hour

Cotton candy sky

His favorite spot is on my back, even when I’m not wearing him

Totally normal grocery shopping

Sleeping like a posed newborn baby

The sun starts to set before the bus even comes

This coat was an excellent purchase

Waving at the big girl ballerinas

Nursing, sleeping baby in Target

Even the filler paper from Shop Sweet Lulu was fun

Stars in his eyes

So November

They asked me to take this photo

Birthday invites from Jumping Jax Designs come with goodies

Baby sword fights seem like a wise choice

This weather can stay

No nap baby can’t stay awake when he’s wrapped

Raking is the worst

That house is called Greene Gables. They’re not green and it’s pretty abandonded, but I was still pretty excited.

Pile of gravel + waterfall = best day for a 6 year old

The turtle’s name is Stretch, which Caroline forgets every time

Anyone need a really poorly made tutu?

Toddler nursing is a little like being mauled by an animal

Everyone needed some love on Monday

And then he got stuck. Poor choices.

Probably the largest collection of Wendy’s kid’s meal toys in the world

Shopping buddy

He is SO convinced he’s helping

Ballet has replaced swim as my least favorite activity (because I have to bring all the kids)

My children asked to be locked in a closet

A friend asked me to take a picture of her bow

Evan asked me not to talk to him anymore because he was too busy

Bus stop weirdos

Partners in crime

The queen of snack-stealing

Toddler Party

This appears to be a very low budget horror movie, filming in my neighborhood

Sleepy baby

Babies are not super helpful on photoshoots

I’m going to make-over that Cozy Coupe, but Linc already loves it

Caroline wants a pet “just for her”. I said no to rodents.

They both love this

OMINOUS ORCHARD IS OMINOUS

Putting the kids to work making a pie they refused to eat

Toddlers on the loose

Riding the dog like a small horse is frowned upon in this establishment!

Stupid time change

Why look at fish when you can hang out in the aquarium reading area?

$3 worth of dead fish make the stingrays way more fun

The force is strong with this one

He’s plotting how to knock the largest number of things off the shelves

While the sun is up the weather is GORGEOUS

Poor ear infection girl

Matching leggings 4 life

MUCH needed nap time

Super ambitious sewing plans (so far so good)

Wearing two babies instead of one

Suspicious baby is suspicious

Sleeping like he’s posed for a newborn photo

Weirdos

Bacon crackers. So simple. so delicious.

Playing cards is my favorite

Ok, sure, I GUESS you can bring that birthday party snack in the car

BEEP BEEP

Sunsets this week have been amazing

He would sleep in a mountain of blankets

I let Evan walk to the end of the street to put something in the mailbox and he was really excited

Being a big kid

A murder of crows, circling the bus stop.

He’s reaching for a leaf in my hand, he doesn’t actually know how to look at a camera

This is their new favorite game

This was outside my house all day, and after a lot of peeking out the windows to see what happened I think the elderly man who rented the apartment in that house passed away. So not interesting, just super sad.

Bare feets

Being a scary ghost

View from Bluff Point

View from Avery Point

Very nicely sharing the Panera buzzer

Toddler friends

It was VERY COLD by the ocean for my evening session

Even my husband got this right, and he doesn’t even care about my garden

The faerie village was amazing

Oh ok, go ahead and look 15

ORCHARD WEDDING YOU GUYS SO MANY PICTURES COMING SOON CONGRATS JACKIE I NEED TO STOP YELLING

PUNNY LICENSE PLATES ARE MY FAVORITE

Empty baseball stadiums are cool

Somehow a grocery trip still costs $100, even when I buy hardly anything

Beaching it up

So happy when Sissy comes home from school

I love his little Judo outfit so much

This week’s weather can stay forever

Prima Ballerina attitude already

Dogpile on the baby seems like a fun game

HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS WHAT IS HAPPENING

I went just for swim diapers

More soccer

View from the top

I bought a basket AND a cart to organize my stuff…so why isn’t it organized?

Setting up a new reward system

I did not go chasing any waterfalls

Grump faces

Winner of the farmer’s market

MORE SOCCER

Important errands

A very windswept session at the park
