loving lately


a sleeping baby (in the basket) and walking into a clean kitchen first thing in the morning, thanks hubby!

walking out in the backyard to find this...be still beating heart of mine. 


some more alert/smiley faces from Mr. Harper

finding the oldest brother singing itsy bitsy spider to his little brother to keep him from crying. (and yes he is wearing his sisters pj's by choice :))

morning book time while mama makes breakfast

ohhh waking up to homemade chicken broth that's been on the stove all night. my favorite drink.


grandma/meema's reading books, all is good. 

breakfast in bed mama? yes please!

singing not yelling..well,sorta. oh please stay small my lovies. 



impromptu "craft" squirrel feeders, made from what mama with a newborn had on hand, apples, peanut butter and tortilla chips! They thought it was rad. 

what my girlie girl has been wearing to school some days..thinking all these boys might be rubbing off

and then again, it goes both ways around here...

silly baby sleeping positions in daddy's arms

our "new" garden space. Daddy and the kids have been working hard clearing trees and brush. Can't wait to get planting soon. 

our runnaway baby, found walking down the street with a suitcase and shovels!

littlest brothers

my newest super fun hobby 

all imagination these days and pretty sure he was after a shark, love the face


he melts my heart


loving those kissable and dirty cheeks having fun in the sun

stillness while ALL (4) are napping and finding little things around the house that show some of the imagination that morning. Rosie is seated at almost every meal, still. 

ity bity baby watching me cook

a little vintage in our kitchen, it's lime green on the backside and I adore it.

sleeping on grandma with one eye open, just in case mama decides to get too far away

looking out the kitchen window to see all the hard work of my family after taking down a tree for garden space. so cool. 

basically the cutest thing I've seen in a while. cute little redhead in wool, can't get sweeter.

a little girl decided fell asleep while watching "fireworks" outside in the backyard while the boys were napping. sucking on her na na and all. 

a big boy who dresses himself everyday now, today we needed some shorts with whoops so we could wear our dada belt. 

the boys making boats to sail down the rivier

oh yes!

not as excited as the first one was..haha

best.daddy.ever. does circle time after work with the kiddos, usually baby in hand too. love him. 

catching a glimpse of a beautiful California sunset with the family

..and making breakfast to a huge amount of laughter meant they were up to something..yup this really does happen around here. they are the best. 

lots of loving around here lately. Happy first day of Spring!!!
