Our family

Life is good for us Michiganders! I haven't gone back to work yet, so I get to stay home with the little guys and I am so grateful for that! Matt usually works Tuesday-Friday so we try to stay busy when he's gone. Nothing out of the ordinary to report over here--just thought I'd give you a little taste of our life through these pictures. Jake and James are almost 5 months old.....it feels like I blinked and they gained 10 pounds. We love them to pieces and spend most of the day trying to make them laugh!! Most of the pics I get of the boys are either on our bed or in their car seats. That's the only way to be able to manage a camera. I did take this pic of Jakey, though. James was in the baby Bjorn strapped to me, I was on the phone with Matt while trying to make Jake laugh by pushing him with my foot (the swing has no batteries) and snapping pictures. It turned out decent and I may have discovered a hidden talent: Multi-tasking.Matt on bath-duty. He looks mad, but he's not! James doesn't know what to think about the weird hat.
Smiley Jake and Sleeping Jake.

The fall in Michigan is "two words for ya: geor-geous". (Shout out to those who get that). These are photos of the trees we see on our walks. Jake is so fascinated with them and usually has this look of wonder on his face.

Little James enjoying our walk, too.



Me and my babies!!
Meeting thier newest cousin, Amelia. Yes, lots of babies under one roof.


We love these little boys!!

Your boys are so cute! I can see a lot of your family in one of them (I'm sorry I don't know which one, maybe I should flip back and figure it out). I think it's amazing you're even posting with two babies. Maybe that will change with two toddlers. Enjoy this fun age!

They couldn't be more adorable. You amaze me as a single mom most of the week. Bet you love your time together though!
