Owl cupcakes

While waiting for an oil change and tire rotation, Libby and I entertained ourselves by reading magazines. She saw these cupcakes and we just had to make them.



And here's my baby scooting around.




And this one is getting so big, and acts like he looks...goofy and inbetween ages. One minute very grown up, and the next having a toddler moment. We all have them sometimes:-)


Luca took these silly pics of Libby.

One of the greatest feelings on earth

Looking down at a sleeping babe in my arms is heavenly. His little hand clutching the collar of my shirt. He smells so sweet and smiles in his sleep.

"Injuried"

Due to a fall from the monkey bars, Jameser has a supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Is that where the expression "funny bone" comes from? Well it wasn't funny, although some of his quotes make me smile.

At the hospital he said, "I'll probably just be here for like 2 days, but they will probably have really good choices for breakfast, right mom?"

Or when I told him how sorry I was this happened, and how I had envisioned us having such a nice weekend with family, he said. "I'm still having a good time. I just can't flex my muscles really much."

About not being able to play at recess, he said, "I'll just sit on the bench and stare at the sky to see how fast the clouds are moving. (Sigh and pause). But that will get boring in like 5 minutes."

He has been really brave and sweet about everything.

Here is a picture from Miss Libby's fourth birthday.


And here are a couple portraits I took as practice. Libby looks a lot like Luca in these.

Visitors

We had Jer's brother Christopher and his family with us for a few days. They came all the way from Texas, and we were so happy to have them. Christopher and Libby's birthdays are 4 days apart so we had a joint party for them. The kids cried when their cousins left. The house feels very empty today.

My kids like to take pictures with the tablet. Every now and then I'm amused by what I find.




Weirdos

I'm posting because I know my sweetie checks in on his kiddos during the day. I know I'd be missing them so much if I were him. Libby and our neighbor Ryan have had a lovely time playing together today.

Railroad jammies

These pajamas are a fairbank boy favorite. They were a gift to baby Luca, and now tommy wears them, and looks nearly identical in them.

Little miss muffins

Libby has been asking to make muffins ever since the muffins for moms event at brother's school.
