i heart faces-Yellow...

When I saw it was "yellow" week at i heart faces I thought of this picture...this photo exudes Joshua's joy after falling into a mud puddle. I thought for sure there would be tears...what a delight to see this smiling face!

Weekend Wanderings...

Will...

7 weeks...

Backyard Baseball...

Orioles vs. Athletics

Fascinating...

and a fun way to help Daddy with the yard work too!

"Wake Up Will"...

Joshua is busy the majority of the time but when he does spend time with Will he puts his whole heart into it...no surprise for those of you that know Joshua! In this picture Joshua is helping me wake Will for a feeding. He spoke so gently and repeatedly gave him little kisses on the head.

As I've said before...you have to capture these little snippets and remember them because in a house full of boys...gentleness is not evident the majority of the time!

Reflections...

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today? said Piglet.


I love this outlook as we jump into a new week full of exciting possibilities.

Four weeks...

Today at Will's one month check-up the doctor reviewed his growth chart and acted so pleased. He raved about how much he has grown and then stopped and said...

"Oh, wow that says 15 I thought it said 5. How much did he weigh when he was in here 2 weeks ago? (He rummages through his chart and finds the answer...7lbs 9 oz) Wow, he has gained 2 1/2 lbs. since then (9 lbs. 15 oz.). Well if he sleeps 5 hours or so at night you have no need to worry!"

I guess that explains those beautiful cheeks!

Sunny Days...

Yes...

he was the one that said "Seven is heaven!"


Well...he's only one away in this picture but I think he's changed his mind!
