in recent days

wow may. it's a busy month around here. dare i say busier than a summer month?! maybe this year it is.

last week matthew traveled to idaho with the church staff. he loved the trip and i loved that while he was gone, we took a trip back to the ol' simpsonville. i got to spend some time with ashley, grant, and lydia at the zoo and we had a picnic. The day could not have been more perfect. 

we also got to spend some really good, and funny time with abby and cady while we were there. i took a few maternity shots for abs and cady and the boys played hard. it's so so strange to think about me and my friends from a different part of my life having kids together. i love it. i loved watching them play and seeing all their little personalities work together. that cady is a stinker. a cute stinker!

as usual, we enjoyed our time at poppie and marmie's. grey cried because he didn't want to leave. if i were him, i wouldn't have wanted to leave either! we eat good, we sleep good, we play a lot, and spend time with gram. what could be better?!

 tuck man has been singing "happy birthday" to himself for days now. he's gearing up for his second birthday on thursday. i can't believe that boy is going to be two. he's such a mess.

i have been editing wedding photos for what seems like 4 years now. i'm really enjoying the process and trying to stay organized. one extremely unfortunate event that has occured is that my editing program inserted a copyright symbol on all the pictures so i am in the process of going back through them to remove that. other than that, i am making my way through! i hope to share some on here when i am finished.

will is 10 weeks today. here's a few shots from this morning before matthew left for work. the three biggest boys were making will smile so very big. melt my heart...

i have piles of laundry to sort and put away, our floors are filthy, and our bathrooms are dirty but we are really enjoying each other these days.
