Bittersweet

Today was the boys last day of school before the summer! It was truly bittersweet. I have enjoyed the time they spend there so much because it gives me a small break to catch up and spend some good time alone with Piper but it is so sad to see my baby boys growing up. I know know know I will miss this age so much and it is slipping away so fast. Seeing Piper eating baby food and sitting up by herself almost puts me in shock. I see that she is going to grow just as fast as they did and it is something to really think about. This age is hard because there is a lot of whining and tattle tailing but it will be gone shortly and I will miss it so much. Here are some pics from their last day of school compared with their first day. First day= babes. Last day= boys...

And I cant forget this cutie that joined the family after we had taken the first school day pictures...

The Ordinary

Life is full right now but it is good. I havent blogged in quite some time and it is mostly because I never pull out my camera. I want to capture everyday life with it, but Instagram has become so much more convenient. I always have my phone on me, so when life is happening, I use my phone to capture it. I actually love it because those are the moments I want to remember and I have begun to print all my Instagrams in a book so I will always have them!

BUT I do like to have my real camera too! Today I pulled it out to take pics of the boys and Piper out on the porch. We spend a LOT of time out there and I dont want to forget the memories. Don't get me wrong, I do and ton of refereeing and disciplining right now and we see a lot of tears and hear a lot of screaming, but I want to remember those times too. They are challenging but they have been vital to my growth spiritually so for that, it is awesome. We have sweet time too and here are some pics to try to capture them...
