fifty two weeks : week fourteen

it’s good to get out and get some fresh air with these peeps.  lately we’ve only had one day a week that we are all together.  dad has been swamped with work and we miss him much but so thankful for all that he does for us.

fifty two weeks : week thirteen

coming home and spotted out the window by remy.  they must have sat starring and making faces at each other for 5 minutes laughing hysterically.

fifty two weeks : week twelve

a picnic in the park with “nana banana” as they call her.  it is so nice to live close to my parents, i wouldn’t want it any other way.  i love that my kids get to be so close to them.

i kind of hate that ry has to be in school and has to miss out on some of these fun times.  and next year marley will be in school also, what a bummer (in some ways).  but it will be nice to have time with my littlest punk.  and lets face it, that girl is gonna love school, or at least the part of hanging out with friends all day.

 

fifty two weeks : week eleven

just a couple skater boys.

hearing my boy and his friends skate outside the house reminds me of the days when my friends and i would be hanging out and hear some skateboards near.  we’d get all giggly wondering who was going to come around the corner because we loved skater boys.  i remember being in my house and hearing the noise of a skateboard and running to one of the front windows in hopes that it was one of the cute skater boys.  oh those were the days.  now i hear it and i wonder what little girl is looking out her window at my boy and his friends.  for some reason i still love that sound outside my window.

fifty two weeks : week eight

an afternoon in the life of these two waiting for big brother to get home from school.

rems run in with an allergy

after a couple visits to the doctor to figure out what was going on with the poor little boy, he kept getting worse.  an amoxicillin allergy.  a few hours after this first photo we ended up in the ER.  by the time he was seen by a doctor he was so swollen that it took seven tries to get the IV in.  it was a mess.  it was scary.  but the next morning he looked so much better.  all the nurses (and doctors) were so great to us and took such good care of him.

it is beyond hard and heart wrenching to watch your child hurt like this, and pretty eye opening and humbling.  it was like a smack in the gut (for me) to remember to be present, and to slow down and be grateful for every moment that i am so graciously given with my three.

fifty two weeks : week seven
