{Simplicity} Week 7 & 8 Catch up time

February has come and gone too quickly! We finally decided to pack up our minivan and take the kids on a road trip to see snow for the long holiday weekend and to celebrate our second's second birthday. 3hrs drive later, we find ourselves having to turn back because there was no power in the place we were going to stay at and the road conditions were pretty scary because of a snow storm the night before. We did manage to find a little patch of thin snow in the lower elevations and gave the kids 20 minutes of snow play before driving 3hrs back home. Thankfully the kids were really patient about the 6hrs of driving. It gave us hope that we could actually travel some distance away with 3 young kids. :)

Mmmmm.. roses. What more do I need to say here? It's the way to my heart and my hubby got them for me. (*^^)

Sneak peek

Brotherly love

I had a great session with my cousin-in-law's family. It was my first time meeting the younger one and it had been a while since I saw the older. These two played so well together already! And yes, I got to pinch to chubby cheeks.

{Simplicity} Week 2

*whew* what a week.. Barely made it to this posting before the end of the week. This week is all about looking through the child's eyes.




My son never ceases to surprise my hubby and I at how sharp his eyes are and what things catch his attention. In a recent walk in a community farm park, my son kept asking me what those "blue things" are. I must've stared at the ground for a few minutes trying to figure out what he was looking at and came upon this little gem. It was simply a set of glass embedded in a piece of cement. The colors are so brilliant and beautiful. I've got to get on his height more often and see things from his perspective more. Everything seems so "new". :)

Growing family

This family is about to add a new little one to the mix. I went to the session with mainly maternity in mind, but their little boy stole my heart. He was such a cute, curious, happy boy! The siblings will be about 18 months apart, just like my own little ones. :)
