The Day They Meet

I made these shirts for the day our 3 guys meet each other. I don't know how I'm going to handle all the cuteness once they have these on and they are all together for the first time. 

Momma Love

It is hard to believe this one isn't going to be my littlest baby for much longer.

Boys, Bump, and The Beach

I had scheduled to take the day off of work yesterday 6/24/13. I was going to use is to catch up with laundry, cleaning, and finishing up some baby prep. Instead I followed that little voice that always seems to call when I need it the most. That little voice that interestingly enough sounds a lot like the beach. I packed up the boys, my sisters, this belly, and we all headed down to Ocean City, NJ for a day of fun in the sun. 
These boys have salt water running through their blood just like their momma. They love everything about the shore...finding sea shells, walking the boardwalk, swimming in the sea, and building sand castles.
It was a picture perfect day and it was pure joy being with my 2 amazing little men. We only have 2 weeks left until baby brother's arrival so I've been trying to soak up as much of these guys as I can.

Name Game

Wow, I can hardly believe it's only 27 days until the little guy makes his arrival! I also can't believe I haven't been on here in over 2 months...sorry. Things have defiantly progressed but one thing hasn't changed, the little guy still remains nameless. We go back and forth everyday between a few we like and have since the beginning. It usually lasts about 5 minutes and then it turns into who can out do who in the crazy name game. The kids are always good for suggestions too. Optimus Prime Smith does have a nice ring to it. 
Hopefully we can come up with something in the next 4 weeks. Suggestions welcome!

Forever Young

Braeden and I were walking home from the nature center on Tuesday. I want to make sure that I never forget our conversation...

B: Mom, what would you do if I were 10?

J: I would cry, I don't want you to be 10 yet.

B: What if I were 6?

J: I would be sad, I'm not ready for you to get older so fast. I want you to stay little forever.

B: Okay mom, I'll try an stay little for you, but don't go crying when my birthday comes around.

That kid sure does know how to make me laugh, and even if he does grow up and get older, I know he's  always going to be my sweet little boy.
