Happy

 Kathryn and Cyrus joined Amy and I on a quick trip to the Lake this week.

Creative

 Meal time is a huge deal right now. Between prepping, feeding, cleaning and trying to eat...sometimes it's hard to experience the fun. But Cyrus never dissapoints. I took a picture of him at dinner this week as he was decorating his sippy cup with noodles. "Christmas lights." He kept chanting to himself.

Happy.

 I'm very thankful for the ease of digital photography...or else I might only capture film photos like the one below. 

Pumpkin Pickers

 Libby and I have fond memories of picking pumpkins when we were little. It's something I think we might have in common with my kids too!

Too Fast

 I'm not sure how...but my three year old boy grew up really fast. 

Blueberry Kathryn

 Just like Mama. 

Corn on the cob

We have all been looking forward to corn season. This guy did not even wait for his first ear to be cooked. He loves Grandpa's corn and has been waiting all year for this day. 

Grin

This little lady really likes her Bumbo seat.

When I go to work now, I feel muted 

From my boys

Abel and Cyrus picked these for me. I frequently remind them that Mommy loves flowers and they can give them to me anytime. Yesterday was an "anytime."

Playing Dress Up

Brian says some people have too much fun playing dress up. 

worth a thousand words

This little set of people fill my world right now. I posed them several weeks ago, pajama clad and ready to start a new day.

My favorite things about their stages right now: listening to Abel talk; watching Cyrus' hilarious creativity; dressing Kathryn in adorable outfits ALL the time.

Introducing Kathryn Grace Reames!

She joined our family yesterday at 7:44 AM. She weughed 6 pounds 8ounces and was 19 inches long. She is doing well and the doctors are letting us leave the hospital sometime today. I look forward to introducing you to her in person. She is a lovely baby and makes lots of cute faces. She also has a huge lower pouty lip which I'm sure she will try to use to her advantage with her Dad and big brothers...

Ride

It's nice to live on a quiet road where sled rides can occur right down the tire tracks.
