Growing like weeds.  We had a rather chilly, summer day today so I bundled up and took a couple shots.  I get motivated by cooler weather and it felt good to take pictures, as I have not felt like doing much lately.

Swim lessons may have come to a close, but I know this certainly won’t be the last time the boys take lessons.  They really loved it and Andrew worked through a ton of his fear, I was so proud of him and got to see him in all his glory today for their last lesson.  Bittersweet?  Only for a momma who is watching her little man grow up.

Where you just want to curl up into a ball and forget the world?  Thankfully I don’t have too many of these, but every so often one peeks through.

But on the bright side… it’s snowing outside and everyone knows how much I love my snow!

Having a great time!

My nephew turned 4 a few days ago, such a big boy. I totally remember the day he was born. I was actually out of town when I got the call, but could not wait to return home to see my first nephew. He is such a joy for our family and a wonderful friends for my boys.

We love you Soli!

We spent some time downloading a few kiddo aps for the boys, the Bug Squash is among the favorite at the Bauers home.

Part of the Christmas magic for me is getting to capture memories with my camera until the next Christmas. I just love taking snapshots throughout the day, documenting the festivities. Although it was blowing snow and freezing outside, inside was warm and fuzzy.

Here is a quick peek into life at the Bauers’ home on Christmas morn. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Oh boy… if ever there were a shot that reminded of me when I was little, this is it! I was notorious for wanting to grab attention and in this picture, Nathaniel was just waiting for me to watch before he took off on the slide. A glimpse into my childhood for sure!

My days are filled with a lot of this…

and a lot of this…

The best part about the baking is the sampling according to the boys!

This picture floods my heart with memories.  I  love catching snowflakes like this, so seeing Dewey doing it, just tickles my mommy-bone.
