Reuben's parents came over to babysit for awhile in the evening, and when we came home, Alena was in the middle of reciting the entire Cat in the Hat book to Grandma!

One Year!

So today marks one year since I started this daily picture blog! The time has truly flown by, and it's hard to believe I go back to school in only 10 days. I've enjoyed capturing joys of each day and would like to continue to, but am unsure how this next year in the life of our family is going to play out. So with that, I plan to continue for now, but am giving myself the space and grace to stop at any time, or simply update more infrequently with main happenings in our family. Thanks for following!

Being stuck indoors on this beautiful day with 2 sick kiddos, my mom read my mind and brought frappuccinos over. :) And the Starbucks May happy hour has begun!

Only a baby could be this happy after puking for the 3rd (out of 4) times in the course of 2 hours and getting it all in her hair. My smile? Sometimes you just have to laugh at these situations.

I'm feeling sad that nursing Nora is winding down more quickly than I had hoped, but seeing her drink her bottle like this really is so cute. She melts my heart. :)
