A little slice of our days

Picture taking is not my forte, actually I'm pretty terrible at it, but I was looking at the pictures on my phone from this last week, and bad as they are, I wanted to save them here. Do you ever feel nostalgic for something you are in the middle of? I guess that's how I'm feeling today, so in an effort to capture our life, here are a few pictures from this last week that are pretty typical of our life right now


Karl LOVES Food. This baby can put food down like no other baby I've known. He will eat a couple pancakes, a bowl of yogurt and a whole banana for breakfast, and then be hungry as soon as he wakes up from his morning nap.
This smile melts me every time. Here is his newest trick of standing on his head and then trying to do flips on our new rug. It is super soft, and he loves playing on it. 


Duncan is such a social little guy and LOVES his friends. Every day after preschool he asks whose house we are going to, and is traumatized that we are hardly ever going to someones house, ha ha. Here are his best friends at a little Valentines party we had on Valentines day
I found a paper he had been writing/drawing on the other day, and he'd written his name on it, I had no idea he knew how to write his name!

He loves his "glass cups", and is sad when I give him the kid plastic cups. He always asks now "Can I please have a drink of water IN A GLASS CUP"

Jefferson decided he wanted to make a "quilt" for his pony Snowflake a while ago, and we finally got around to making it this week. He chose the fabrics, I helped him draft the pattern, and then he told me the widths and I cut the strips with the rotary cutter, then he pinned and sewed them together, then pinned the pattern on, cut it out, and then sewed a back on, and turned and topstitched it (he had a few areas where the topstitching swayed in from the edge, and he said "I did it on purpose, to make it look extra fancy"). He did it almost all by himself, I was amazed at his patience with this project!

All finished!
