I can’t resist little ones in hats.

I had trouble narrowing these down at all.

Big brothers are made for teaching you how to slide on things right?

So much fun!

Nick was in charge of gift buying last year.

Can you tell?

Hot wheels and motorbikes.

A lot of people sometimes mean you stay outside as much as possible, even to open gifts.

Looking back at these pics makes it hard to remember that these months were filled with hard days and harder nights.

Look at these precious faces.

Makes rough nights worth it.

Ten times over.

I love sleep so if you had asked me during I might not have been as upbeat.

Ha.

During rough moments my youngest boy showed me what love was.

He offered his hand to someone no one wanted to be near in that moment.

And he always seemed to be able to offer grace in those moments.

These moments.

So beautiful.

I want to learn from the others but remember these the most.

Love that gap toothed smile.

They love animals.

Feeding animals at Carmichael’s Pumpkin Patch.

I have teased Nick about getting goats and sheep because it keeps the kids so entertained and calm.

Probably should not add anything else for now.

We went from never going to pumpkin patches to going as much as we can!

You buy a sack of feed and have instant entertainment for close to an hour.

So nice.

Feeding and seeing ducks at the local pond has been a big hit also.

So now we need a pond with ducks obviously.

Favorite kind.

These images are some of my favorite’s that I have taken of her.

That hat was one my boys and I was sad when he outgrew it.

So glad I get to see it for longer.
