I have no idea how you mama's out there who have four or five kids are able to keep up with a blog. I hardly have time to go to the bathroom these days, much less write long and thoughtful blog posts. By the time they go to bed, I am beat. I am a tired mama these days. But I sure do have two cute kids! :) Here is a peek at some of the cuteness that our little house has been filled with lately.
Cuddling in mama and daddy's bed before bedtime. Yes, our pillow cases don't match the sheets. Yes, there is a wet spot from a bottle that leaked. Focus on the cute kids please.
Bath time. Oh how our boy loves the bath tub. Splashes and laughs and splashes and laughs. He even lets you pour water over his head and thinks that it is funny.
Dress up. We do this A LOT. She wears the tiara and the high heels (her "pancy" shoes) at least half of the time.
And, of course, Elmo needs to dress up too.
Madeline loves raw corn on the cob. I let her try it once because she was being so impatient when I told her that I needed to cook it first. I thought one bite would convince her that she would rather wait. Nope. She ate the whole thing.
"Don't touch me, brother!"
More dressing up. She has learned how to do the "cheese" face.
And more dressing up. Notice the wings she is eating while eating supper.
Madeline goes through spells where she wears these rose-tinted sunglasses all the time. Even while watching Pingu on Netflix. Oh yes, and holding her friend Mr. Potato head at the same time.
Quite a handsome guy, don't you think? :)
The little guy LOVES to make noise. The more noise the better in his opinion.
Ready for the 4th of July parade in our little town.
Spraying Daddy with a squirt bottle to help him keep cool. Don't you love the feather hat that she got at the parade? :)
, Cool dude. He LOVES to swing, and the higher the better. Quite the opposite of my cautious little girl who likes to just barely move on the swing. I lightly push her, and she tells me, "Too high mama! Too high!"
Gotta love the icing goatee. July 2nd is the birthday of one of M's friends, so we had some cupcake fun with them on the 4th.
Yea for birthdays and yea for cupcakes!
Yes, and yea for sparklers too! Madeline thought this was great fun. I LOVE that she is getting old enough now to do fun things with.
Flowers that Daniel sent me on a particularly hard day. Yes, I will admit that the transition to having two young children has been overwhelming on some days. Daniel has been so helpful and supportive.
Playing in the water on a very hot day at my parents' house. My sis and her daughter came to visit for a week earlier this month.
A little over two years ago, there were no babies in our extended family. Now there are four with a fifth on the way! These are fun years. Abigail jumped off the stairs only moments after this was taken.
A couple of my college friends had a shower for us a couple of weeks ago. It was such a special day. Isn't this the best cake ever?
And I love this one too! Kristen was my roommate for four years. She has three sweet girls with a fourth on the way!
Lots of diapers! The best present ever!
And this is what Benjamin thought of the shower... A great opportunity to take a nap. :) He is such a great sleeper. He goes to sleep easily and even sleeps in the stroller occasionally. He has slept through the night ever since he got over his jet lag, and slowly but surely he is sleeping a little later in the morning too. Yea!
Daniel's co-workers had a shower for us too! Lots of diapers and money for formula. :) It was so special and appreciated. They were so good to us.
Lovin' the blue icing. And notice the "silly bands" on Madeline's wrist. She got her first silly bands as a gift at the shower. She loves the things. So funny on a two year old.
Everyone signed a "Go. Seek. Love." shirt for us. I love it! I can't decide whether to frame it or make it into a pillow.
The guest of honor.
(The photos of this shower came from Daniel's co-worker Joan.)

Thank you for sharing all these photos!!!! I love getting a glimpse into my new friends' lives by their pictures!!! Also, thanks for the honesty about the rough moments. We need to know they are there so that we can more effectively pray for you!!!! ~Pam
I concur, you've got some pretty darn cute kids!
I love the signed Go. Seek. Love. shirt. That is priceless.
Titus eats raw corn on the cob, too! When I told him I needed to cook it, he said, "I don't want it hot. I want it cold." I thought the same thing: one bite and he'd give it back. Nope, he ate that one and then another!
Love all the pictures.
