Bunny Ears

This kid cracks me up!

On our way home from dinner this evening, Hampton and I ran into Target to get a birthday present for his friend Carsen's party. On our way in, we stopped at the Dollar Spot to look for some fun stickers to add to her gift. Hampton quickly found these bunny ears. He looked at me and matter of factly said, "I need to put deese on to hop like a bunny." I helped him put them on and he proceeded to hop like a bunny all through the store. I was doubled over laughing because they kept falling off so he held them on. Everyone who saw him smiled or laughed too.

I let Hampton pick out some new art supplies for Carsen. We debated between some Color Wonder products and sidewalk paint. I wanted him to get her the Color Wonder stuff, but he insisted we get the paint. I have really enjoyed watching Hampton make decisions and stick with them. He is definitely becoming who he was created to be and I am so grateful to be a part of the Lord's plan for his sweet little life.

After we checked out at Target, he wanted to wear his bunny ears out to the car. Ben rolled his eyes when he saw Hampton's treat, b/c boys don't wear bunny ears :), but he too laughed to see Hampton's excitement. Hampton held his ears on the whole ride home and hopped into the house like a bunny. So much fun!!!

I am crazy about my precious family!!!

I guess his excitement faded more quickly than I thought it would. He will probably be excited about them agian in the morning. Night all!

2 Month Stats

Lucy and Reid got 2 shots today at their 2 month appt. True to form, Lucy was easily consoled, but Reid took it a little harder. They both calmed down pretty quickly, but had a hard afternoon and evening. I don't remember Hampton reacting to his shots, but Lucy and Reid sure did. They both ran a tiny fever, were fussy and had sore legs (where they gave the shots). Ben is out of town, so I was thankful that it hit them at different times. I was able to hold and comfort both of them. Here are their stats.

Lucy:

9 pounds 10 ounces

21 1/4 inches long

Reid:

10 pounds 6 ounces

21 3/4 inches long

The babies are starting to smile and it is SO cute!!!

Eight Weeks Old

My sweet babies are 8 weeks old today. It's hard to believe it was nearly 2 months ago that they joined our family. You would think that by now I would have it together, but I still feel like I'm treading water. From the time I wake up to the time I crash on my pillow, I am going pretty much non-stop, but at the end of the day, I have nothing to show for it. I have a list a mile long of things I need to accomplish, but none of it gets done. I remember feeling this way with Hampton and I have to remind myself that even though you see no evidence that I have been busy all day long, my kids are fed, loved, learning and happy. I just want my house to be picked up too!!! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything and I L-O-V-E my family. I'm just a little overwhelmed right this second. Enjoy some sweet pictures of Lucy and Reid. I am crazy about them!


LUCY JAMES

Reid Matthew

Last night as Ben was putting Hampton to bed, the following conversation took place:

Daddy - "What do you want to pray for tonight?"

Hampton - "Boogers!"

Daddy - "Boogers? What about boogers?"

Hampton - "For people with boogers...bunches of 'em."

Then they both burst into laughter.

How sweet it is...

Images of Grace

We were so blessed to have the opportunity to have Lucy and Reid photographed by an amazing photographer. Amy has a true gift for capturing life through pictures and we were thankful to be able to "help" her start her new website. She has a well established photography business, but needs to start a website designed specifically for children birth through 1 year. On her blog, she asked for volunteers, especially multiples, to help. I have admired her work for quite a while now, so I jumped at the chance!!! Here are just a few...

I can't wait to see all the images she captured...it's going to be hard to choose!
