Proud

I was feeding Saylor at 5:00 am when Joel got up to get ready for work, on his way out he kissed us both and stood there in the dawn light and said, "Isn't it crazy that we have a baby?" We have just been going with the flow which happens to be a little fast (yawn). So here is a snapshot of what we have been doing this past week and over Memorial Day weekend.

Saylor baby

"we want to hold her on our shoulder like you do"

We went to the coast and got some shrimp to boil, Joel did a great job on them!

The helpers

Mawmaw and Saylor waiting on the shrimp.

They're ready!

Cleaning up afterwards......or riding trikes naked while Pawpaw cleaned up.

We started swim lessons this week, this is Hudson he is a little fish and swam by himself in the big pool today! (this is in our blow-up pool)

First day at lessons, Katie, Brantlee, Collin, Hudson and Harrison with Ms.Diane and Justin

Three sweet boys growing up way too fast!

The boys and I have a song we listen to together and sing along called "You and Me" by Frances England. Having a new baby makes us realize sometimes how far we have come since our boys were this small.
How did you grow up so big overnight, how did you get so smart and bright, yesterday you were asleep in my arms, today you're growing off the charts, I'm so proud of you!
Today on our way to run errands, as we listened to this from the backseat Hudson asked, "Mommy, what's proud?" and I explained how proud means I am so thankful to have such a beautiful, healthy and smart boy that I want everyone to know you are mine. He smiled with pride and said "yeah" as he looked out the window.

  1. Ok, that last part made me tear up.

    Does Harrison have on your shoes in the "helpers" pic?

    Love the one of them riding naked on their trikes!
