Relishing

just can't get enough of his toothy grins

The temperatures are still frigid outside and I don't think this snow has any intention of leaving anytime soon. Kevin and the girls have been taking the opportunity to test out their cold weather camping gear. I think they are slightly crazy but then again I am happily relishing a house with a good heating system - a luxury we did not have back in Oregon.

Baby F decided not to take his nap today only to fall asleep about two minutes after I put him in the Tula on my back. Of course that was right before we were heading out the door. But never mind that - I had to soak in that moment of sweetness. I took him off of me to get dressed and he stayed asleep. That is a rarity, for sure. Nap time is becoming more and more of a struggle each day. I am hoping this nap strike isn't becoming a trend. Little L gave up naps early and that was a challenge I was hoping to avoid with Baby F. I'm crossing my fingers it's teething causing all of this.

I love all the snow photos! My dad is big on Winter backpacking. Your little fellow looks so much like you. I've worn my babies down for years now, and still have to do it with the toddler from time to time. That picture with the carrier is a familiar, sweet view.

I love your photos! The way you frame things in your shots is lovely! On another note, the only way I can get my 2 year old to take a nap is to wear her in my sling or tula and sway in a dark room...I cherish that time each day...of course my other girls are 12 and 16 so I have the luxury of stealing away for 20 minutes or so-that might not be possible if they were still little!

Oh thank you! I was feeling pretty down about my photos recently so your words lifted my spirit! I am just picturing you dancing with your 2 year old each day. What a precious image.

Oh those last photos made me laugh - I used to try to do that so often, especially as the babies got bigger and heavier, but with about the same success rate!!
