Lia: after school afternoons. a scrape on her chin from a tumble in gym class, sweet little uniforms, and that toothless grin that still gets me. Nicolas: being a ham and getting his way in life. he's not a fan of school pick-up lines and he lets it be known loud and clear until...

Lia: and just like that, the evenings of dashing off to ballet class have come around again. She's years away from pointe classes but this girl stands on her tippy toes every chance she gets. Nicolas: big grins over organic apples. I'm doing this series - a portrait of...

Reading... Me Before You. This was this month's book club pick and I've yet to finish it. I'm bummed that reading has been pushed down on the totem pole but I carry the book around anyways hoping for a few minutes to escape. Cramming... all. the. time. My course load is no joke and I feel...

Seven months... Has me like whoa. He's less of a baby and more of a mobile, squawking babe. Is all about the ring sling. He plays shy and buries his head into whoever is holding him. It kills me. It's THAT cute. Is the happiest babe around. LOVES solids. Size 3 diapers. Mostly...

Our girl went off to Kindergarten today! I was pretty prepared for a meltdown or two and I stashed some tissues in my car but surprisingly, there were no tears all day and L is crazy excited to keep going to school. She's in class with one of her best friends already and...

   Lia: hiding in the tunnel is one of her favorite things to do at the park. Most days kids like to cram in there until they are spilling out. An empty tunnel on a cloudy day was a treasure.  Nicolas: ten tiny toes. Those perfect feet are almost always in his hands or his...

These last few days of Summer are flying by. Tomorrow is all we have before life once again changes before our eyes. We've kept the kids up and out late all weekend.

This week was full of Mondays. I felt pretty bad all week long. And parenting two kids on top of everything else took a toll. The days were long and hot. Dinner time drama was a thing. Bruises and scraped knees were a thing too. But oh the good things that happened! Lia met her Kindergarten...

We have a Kindergartner! She starts next week and we're all pretty much full of mixed emotions. But, we're definitely excited for our girl! I honestly couldn't decide between letting her pick up a bag at Target or finding something we'd all be happy with. So, I did a little research and threw together...

Lia: we took a drive to the dock to watch the sunset. There was an overcast and then an urgent potty request so we left defeated for the evening with big promises to catch the sunset before summer ends. Nicolas: evening time is never his finest hour and though he was pretty sleepy,...
