Almost 2

I can't believe our baby will be two on Sunday. I was afraid of two.. but so far, it's been mostly hilarious and adorable. Just when you think you want to freeze time and can't love them more, you do.


I think he will be the youngest farmer ever. He can't wait to get up to go look out and see what tractors are here, what's going on, then we have to call Daddy and ask him what he's doing??? followed by Finn telling me all morning... "Da's plowing the field" Da's spraying the corn." (We are now "da, ma, and care")
He's been helping me in the garden this year, I feel like we grew it together. Whenever we are outside he always says, "how are the plants doing? and "Let's go smell the flowers."
I know some of this is because we do it..but there's a lot of things we do that he doesn't repeat. I think he has a natural love of nature.

Our first cucumber! "I don't like it ma."



He's a great boy.

6 months, a bunch of pictures.

Eating apples..she clearly loves it..





My friend Amber took these on our porch..

Finn & Claire

This week the sweetest thing has started to happen. These two have started to play together. Mostly it's just Finn making Claire smile or laugh. By wanting to put her in a box, or saying "boo" in her face really loud.


But how could you not laugh at this guy?
Steph..can you believe this still fits?

Spring..

Just thought I'd share some spring pictures.




And a few more of the girl, since I forgot to post 5 month pictures..

My boy

I love drinking tea before I go to bed at night, I have since I was little! I couldn't wait to have a daughter that I could give a little teacup to drink it with me. I was wrong.. Finn loves tea. I thought it was just going to be a one time thing, Joe is drinking it now too and so I knew Finn would want to try it. I got out a little tiny teacup and saucer.. (an espresso cup actually)..and poured him half tea, half water. He loved it.. and now asks for it every night. So now every night we have tea together, and "talk about animals". :)
