But about a month ago I lost a years worth of pictures! yes a YEARS WORTH! so now this blog is serving as therapy for my lack of.... Time, computer support and external hard drive updating.
The crazy thing is.... I didn't post enough because I didn't have time to perfect my photos. Nate likes to call it "Doctor them up" I like to call it editing. So these are all SOOC (straight out of the camera) and I don't care. These are memories I don't want to forget. If I don't post them I might lose them.
Coop is 4 months old
Lila is 5 1/2
Boston is 8
and Mia is 2 1/2 and was asleep on the couch.
This day was Sunday, we got home from church and just wanted to lounge around. Nate was working and I decided to enjoy our beautiful children more. I realized I hadn't taken my camera out for awhile.
Sometimes, I just want time to go fast because life seems so hard. Other days, I laugh at how amazing my life is and that my children might be at a hard stage but a unforgettable small stage. I really don't want them to grow up I just want to be selfish with more "me" time.
Oh how I LOVE my life.
Cooper is changing everyday. He is spot on and reminds me of all the others as babies. How do I get so lucky with easy going happy babies?. It makes me sad when the baby stage disappears. Its almost like this magical stage. He is sleeping through the night, smiling constantly, trying to roll, and getting better at sitting up. We ALL adore him so much. He's just sooooo cute!
Mia is becoming pretty hard, like any 2 1/2 year old she tests me and is finding her own voice in this family. She already makes Nate and I laugh with how smart she is. She knows what she wants and can be feisty but also has the sweetest loving heart. I can tell she needs my 100% attention and longs for our old one on one time. She knows her colors and I can say that wasn't from me at all. She loves copying her sister and loves climbing the pantry for marshmallows. She's becoming a picky eater and wakes up at the crack of dawn (it drives even Bos and Li crazy). She is a total daddies girl and loves being with Nate.
Lila is becoming our little social butterfly. She loves friends and needs that constant interaction. She's not really shy and every year conquers her fears. She can go in front of a stage and can dance her heart out. She is also VERY sensitive and wears her heart on her sleeve. I don't see it as a weakness at all, she just needs to control what she puts out into the world. Her confidence attracts others and they Love to be around her. She is also ALL girl (and I really love that). From the moment we found out she was a girl I was ecstatic. I dressed her up in so many dresses, painted her nails as soon as 9 months and made her nursery as girly as possible. She already knows the routine from early on.
Boston is growing up so fast its truly hard for me to believe. I sit in shock at times that he's been alive for 8 years. Sometimes it frightens me that time can go so quickly. He is our first born which really means we didn't have a clue as to how to parent but he had our 100% attention from the beginning. He is smart and is always thinking and creating. He loves Math and can do math equations in his head (the ones that took me until wayyy later in life ha). If you ask him who his friends are he says everybody. He's not too aggressive (never was) and doesn't love sports. I'm hoping that will change. He loves building Lego's, forts, paper airplanes, etc. He isn't too competitive unless he's around Lila. Already the girls are flawking and that makes me uneasy a little. He has a little temper and feels like no one listens and or always is yelling at him. He can't stay mad very long and when I use the "don't smile tactic" he caves every time.
Just a few things I want to remember right now. So many more things but tonight is good for now.
Now for pics I took from Sunday May 24th

I love this post! (and not because I'm SO behind, myself) So happy to see that someone else is posting still!
I love reading your blog and relating to alot to your thoughts and feelings! 4 kids is intense and adjustment for sure- my house will never be clean for more than 10mins. I lost all of my eldest pictures from her first year and luckily was able to revive a select few it was very frustrating and sad. the next day I got an external hard drive and we update it every few months so that doesn't happen again. I just adore all your pictures- you have such a wonderful gift! what kind of camera and lenses do you have? I love how the background is blurred and you focus on your kids.
