I haven't taken many photos lately, but I have loved parenting my two boys. James is sleeping until at least 4 every morning, and sometimes I find myself waking up at 7 a.m. (Yay) I am looking forward to planting my garden this spring. I am looking for great recipes, and here are my requirements. I found out I need to reduce my sugar intake, and need recipes that doesn't use refined flour, sugar, or artificial sugar substitutes. Please leave them in the comments on this post. I really appreciate all the help I can get.

The boys chilling at home on a lazy afternoon.

Lucas did somethig that everybody told me he would try, and it was hilarious. One afternoon he was playing with a baby doll, then he grabbed my nursing pillow, a blanket and opened up shop to nurse his baby doll. It was really funny, but I tried not to laugh so I didn't hurt his feelings. We had a conversation about how only mommies can feed babies like that. He is so observant and smart.

They are stockings right?

Adam had two weeks off over Christmas, and we loved having him home for so long. With a new baby we didn't go very many places in an effort to keep James healthy until he gets big enough to deal with bugs. We enjoyed watching movies, and playing games, and just doing silly things. Lucas is a good entertainer with just a little encouragement. We are kinda bumbed that Daddy had to go back to his job. I look forward to retirement--a lot, but for now we will hunker down and be really greatful for his great job.

This is James falling asleep one afternoon, he makes such sweet little faces. His smile is so bright it warms my heart everytime.
