Your Daily Mo

Track star in the making!!

How does your garden grow?

The garden is finally starting to do it's thing and it is so fun to watch our veggies grow. I can't wait until Moses and I can go and pick dinner! What fun!

Here are our beans. We've had the same problem with the birds as last year, but the netting is helping.

Lettuce and scallions.

Herbs!

A close up of the basil. They are just so darn cute!

Zucchini!

Squash!

The strawberries and cantaloupe are in the box behind the squash the tomatoes are along the fence.

We will begin harvesting the lettuce this weekend! I can't wait for the first salad.

Sarah Beara

Tummy time!

How mama gets things done. Well, how I get the laundry from point A to point B, anyway.

My babies.

This one is for Nana!!

Sharing.

Sweet big brother.

Checking each other out.

This has been my first week of being alone with the babies and things are going well. Yes, I did cry as soon as I made it to Target yesterday, but I made it! And Brittany let me cry and then bought me a frappuccino. Thank you, Lord, for girlfriends! The tears were nothing that a little nap couldn't get rid of :) Sarah is doing great and is such a fabulous sleeper. She naps well and sleeps 5-9 hours in a row at night - no complaining from this mama! Moses either loves her.. or throws balls at her head. We're working on it... and keeping her out of reach! He has gotten much better at being gentle and giving her kisses. Each day I just feel so blessed that this is my life. There are moment of chaos, but they are getting easier to handle. Anyone else ready for #3? Just kidding :) I think.

One month old!

Sleepy girl.

Doing what she does best!

I can hardly believe she is one month old today. I really don't know where the time has gone. She is starting to stay awake longer and longer during the days but still loves to sleep. She and her brother nap at the same time during the day to give mama a break which has been wonderful! Sarah even sleeps well at night and is easy to get back to sleep most of the time. She handles her brother like a champ, and he is learning how to be gentle and has started giving her kisses on his own. Her eyes are blue just like her daddy's and I can't wait to see what color they decide to stay.

We love you, sweet Sarah-beara and have loved having you as a part of our family.

Thank you Grandpa O and Auntie Pretty!

Moses looks so handsome in his new digs and it's pretty darn cute (I mean manly) when he and his dad wear their matching camo cargo shorts! As soon as Sarah grows into hers I will post a picture! THANK YOU!!

Surviving the First Six Weeks Part II

Here are a few things and people that have made this past month wonderful!!

Making sure my little man gets plenty of play time. He prefers it to be outside.

A sweet husband that really likes his kids.

Oh shoot, how did that get in there.

A wonderful mother in law (that is Moses in this picture).

Thank you for all the trips to the grocery store, washing our floors, doing our laundry, playing with our kids, doing our dishes - all of it. You're so darn wonderful!

Thank you for spending a whole week with us, Mom! We sure enjoyed having you!

Look how much fun Moses is having!!

And when all else fails, just have a cup of Joe!

I can't believe that Sarah will be one month old tomorrow. Time is FLYING. Real life begins tomorrow - Jeremiah had to return to work full time at some point! Everyone has gone home and my mother in law is even going to be in Canada for two weeks! Ack! Truth be told I'm excited to give this mom of two thing a go. I'm ready for a little real life!
