Happy Mother's Day!

So it is fitting that my 100th post on my family blog be about Mother's Day:) Today is my 6th Mother's Day and with each little boy to enter my life it gets sweeter. It is such fun to see the sheer joy on their face as they give me their little poems, hand prints or as the case was this year fake cute little flowers from Nathan and a candle holder decorated by Jacob. I look forward to future years of homemade adorable heartfelt little gifts.

After church today my only request was that we go somewhere outside and take a walk and just be together as a family. So we went back to the Forest Preserve that I took the boys to earlier this week. We had a good time walking some in a different direction but eventually ended up back to the spot where the kids had fun on the rocks. It was sunny but quite windy and it felt so good to have it hit your face. Even Owen enjoyed it. It totally messed up with his naps and he is quite the little bear now but it was worth it.

Here are some pictures of our fun. It was so much better having Ian there (and Keira!)


We have quite the little photographers on our hands. Nathan took the above picture of Keira (ignore the finger mark:) and Jacob took the picture of me and Owen.
