Growing Up!

Just the other day I woke up and looked at Jacob and thought, "He seems to have changed over night, he looks older today!" It's crazy how fast kids grow. Thank goodness for pictures right? For me, and the kids to look back on and reminisce.

  Katelyn {3 yrs. old}

 Katelyn {3} Jacob {13 mos}

I know a lot of you are photographers out there, so tell me... How do you get both kids to sit and smile at the camera at the same time? I swear I have never caught them both smiling together. It's either Katelyn is smiling and Jacob is not, or Jacob is smiling and Katelyn is not. Or Jacob just randomly gets up and walks away. I may have to try this when daddy is home, he's sure to get a smile out of both of them.

I just ordered Jacob's book of his first year. I can't wait to get it, he has been such a joy in our lives this past year!! :)

What's New?

Happy Valentine's day!
Remember you are always loved :)

Life has been busy. We are looking for a job, getting our house ready to sell, trying to figure out where to live. It's all just closing in on us so fast. I can't believe it.

The little ones are doing great! They make me so happy. Lately I've just felt like 99.9 percent of my day is pure joy {pretty sure I could say 100% because of them, but sometimes I have to do the dishes or something and I get a little heartbroken ;)}. I hardly ever find myself frustrated at them or upset. We have such a great routine, they both are angels, and they just keep me laughing and happy. So life is great.

Nick is working hard in school. Working hard at finding a good job. Finishing up all of his last requirements. Being a dad. Doing housework so we can sell our house. He's just great!

I really am so excited to begin this new chapter in our life. I don't know quite what to expect, but right now I'm just excited.

Here are some pictures of the kids. Katelyn and Jacob adore each other. And I'm so happy that they get along and play so well together. It sure makes me, as a mom, so happy.
