oh, windy day

We checked out a new park near the water. We were so surprised to find waves and crazy wind. Harkin and I mostly stayed in the car watching the boys have a great time playing. I love that they still have so much fun together even though they are always with each other.
We are hoping in summer this may be a swimming spot, but we'll see.

moments at home

These are the moments that our days are made up of on a daily basis. Little things that I want to remember because all too soon it will be but a distant memory.

Puzzles being worked on.
Games we played.
Flowers picked for mom.
Babies finding their thumb.
Brotherly  love.
Towers and forts being built.
Note writing.
How small they can be.

My days can get busy with to do lists, but when I stop and just be in the moment it is quite remarkable. I want to live fully present with my boys now.
This is it.

frisbee play

 The boys, Daddy and Jax have taken up Frisbee. They play several times a day and have such a great time all together. Jax gets his running, instead of going to visit the horses next door, and comes in tuckered out.

so green and full

Watching the landscape change over the past few weeks has been magical. It's our first spring in VT and it truly has been wonderful as the buds, shoots and flowers bloom. Our walk in the woods is so different than fall and winter. With the trees filled in overhead I feel like we are walking in a secret world. I am so grateful that we have moved here and are able to fully enjoy it all.

a treat for mom

William decide that Mom needed a special treat for Mother's day. He took it upon himself to read through our King Arthur book and find a recipe which we had all the ingredients for already at home. We were not leaving the house since Landon was home sick.

I wasn't suppose to know what he was making but every now and again he would ask for some help. I was totally impressed- he made his own pie crust. I have only ever done that once in my life. He so enjoys baking, it is just awesome.  So what was it he made? Light as Air key lime pie and it was delicious.

A sweet from my sweet William. There is no better gift, than the gift of love.

at the lake

 

 

We had such beautiful weather last week that we decided to go check out a local lake. We are wanting to find a place to go swimming this summer. Of course, the boys wanted to go in now. The water was so clear but the beach area was rather small, but it will have to do, since it is the closest thing around.

Harkin had fun sitting under the tree with Mama watching the boys. It was a peaceful and a relaxing afternoon.
