my heart

It is really hard to see your kids hurt or in pain. Not to be able to be the one to fix them. Harper had surgery last Thursday. He was in great hands, but wow was it a hard day.

wispy curls

2nd edit - brightness/crop

You can just barely see Harper's wispy curls poking out. I am pretty sure once he gets his first haircut it will be the end of them.

short hair!

Milo got his hair cut the shortest it has ever been. It really is adorable. He REALLY looks like a blonde mini version of Patrick.

just enough orneriness

just a bit of orneriness

Hoping to get back in the groove of sharing. We took Harper and Milo out yesterday to get some 2 year portraits of Harper. As I was culling I came across this one and it just sums up Harper's personality perfectly. Hope to have some of both the boys later this week.

my pink shoes

Milo has repeatedly asked for pink shoes for the last 6 months. I told him as soon as he outgrew the shoes he was in we would buy pink shoes. He finally outgrew his size 10's and he still LOVES pink, so pink it was. He actually first picked out a pair of sandals with a heart, but they didn't have his size. He saw these and it was LOVE! He likes them alot alot alot. And I love him alot alot alot.

learning conversions


bw4, originally uploaded by * Happy Family *.

I am starting to learn how to do black and white conversions. I went through a few revisions with some constructive criticism from a photography board I belong to, but I think I finally got it.

being silly

This is Harper being silly when I was trying to practice back lighting. He thought it was silly that I was on the ground. I wish I would have had a chance to back up. It will be a cute snap for the scrapbook.

We got this awesome shirt from Kimberly of Westmama Designs a few days ago. I always love everything we get from her and the boys just love her designs.

My attempt at getting a shot tonight. I don't have a lens anywhere near long enough. Next time I will have to try using a tripod and remote.

*had* high hopes

of getting back into my Joy of Love project today, but I seem to have woken up with a stomach bug now. The kids seem to be feeling better, but have a lingering cough from our last round of sickness. I was feeling better until I woke up in the middle of the night feeling awful. Maybe next week I will be back.

kid art

I took our picture walls down in our living room because I was ready for a change. I decided to put up a wall of kid art. I like that I can keep it fresh it by changing out the art work. Both the kids love it and I think it makes them feel a bit special.

sick

I am behind on my joy of love pics because everyone is sick. I will get caught back up though. No one wants a camera in their face when they are hacking and are burning up from fever.

The kids were sick last week and it seemed they were on the upswing, then Milo had a fever again yesterday when he got up. Now they both have a fever today. Patrick has it also. I just started coughing, but I am battling it! Moms are not allowed to be sick.

If you don't hear from me within a week send help.

the joy of love, 03: then and now


the joy of love, originally uploaded by * Happy Family *.

Diapers to underwear!

up...

at 1am, sigh. Everyone else is sleeping soundly. Me, not so much. Both kids have been sick and I was up with Harper last night until 5am. My sleep schedule is way screwed up now. So tonight, instead of sleeping I am painting blocks for a valentine craft. If only I could figure out a way to never have to sleep.

the joy of love, 02: how they look

Sad to be snowed in.

v-day crafting

We have never had much in the way of Valentine's decorations, so I am working on it. This wreath is was super easy and turned out really cute. My wrist fell like it might fall off after I wrapped the wreath form with the yarn though.

the joy of love, 01: what they do

Willette is offering this great class called the joy of love for FREE during the month of February, so I thought it would be fun to join in.

Total hodge podge of stuff from the last few months. Patrick has a few more videos to put together then he will hopefully be all caught up and make it easier to get future videos put up when things actually happen.

happy to be standing

Harper doesn't navigate the snow very well. He doesn't seem to mind being in the cold as long as long as he can keep himself upright.

the look


, originally uploaded by * Happy Family *.

This is the look I get when he is not in the mood for my camera to be out. He just wants to sled already or to be able to throw a snowball at me.

We have all been very busy lately. I am trying to get myself a bit more organized and focus on getting some projects done that I have been putting off for much too long. I am also trying to get back in the groove of scrapbooking.
