i am loving

:Pinterest:

with a mind as chaotic as mind, this little website is transforming things for me. i am just getting started but loving the little bit i've used it so far! i will have to be careful not to let it take up a lot of my time. i can get lost looking around and pinning things left and right. check it out and enjoy!!! it's genius.

:this guy:

he is just the sweetest. he's growing like a weed and will be a month old already on Friday! he's still bringing in the visitors and he has no idea how happy that makes his mommy.

:that my two oldest are sharing a room and loving it themselves. we braced ourselves the first night {last weekend} to intercede time and time again. thankfully after tucker got over his EXTREME excitement to be in the same room as grey, they both fell fast asleep until 7 am the next morning! I should have videoed it. tucker kept standing up, looking over the edge of his crib, yelling "hey grey!" over and over again. followed by grey coming out of the room with tucker screaming for him to tell us, "tucker keeps waking me up."  tucker finally settled down but was just as excited to wake up next to his big brother the next morning.  and a week and a half later, they both are still loving it.

tucker has also always been a fantastic sleeper so i had planned on not messing that up with a new baby in the house. last friday, on a whim, i decided why not try them together?! it's always been our ultimate plan that they would share a room so while they are really loving being together and playing together we took a shot in the dark.  it proved to be a great decision! 

 

grey told me tonight, "mom, sleeping in the same room with a little brother is hard work! but i'm really good at it." good job little buddy.

:and this:

tucker is truly blossoming into a big brother worthy of praise. he wanted to hold will all day today followed with kisses and hugs. even the crying didn't turn him off but made him all the more loving. who is this kid?! i sure am loving this side of him towards his little brother because before long he will be hitting and tackling him just like he does to his big brother!

:my husband. i know that seems like a given but i just appreciate all that makes him well, him. he is a gift for sure.

cara cara oranges

oh my. we have been through quite a few 5 lb. bags of these puppies. they are absolutely delicious. i eat one every morning for breakfast and every night for dessert. and sometimes i have one in the middle of the day. thank goodness sams has 5 lbs. for $5. oh yum!!! if you haven't tried them yet, go to the store, buy a 5 lb. bag and eat until your belly is content. they leave you just wanting more and you'll have to send your spouse out at an inconvenient time just to get some more. matthew would also say to put them in the fridge until they're really cold, slice them, and eat. seems as though it's about time for one right now!
