Good Daddy

My work as a nurse and a lactation consultant impacts my family in many ways.  Whether it is having a living room full of new mommies needing breastfeeding help, stopping by someones house on our way home to help them trouble shoot a pump or attending birthday parties of my NICU grads, my kids take pride in what I do.  So when Gavin deciding on his own to put "Jim" skin-to-skin I was not at all surprised.  My kids have heard me preach the benefits of skin-to-skin relentlessly.  I think little Gavin has the makings of being a great Daddy in him!

Just Another Sunday Afternoon

We should have gone to church today.  But as you can see from Logan not even getting out of his pajamas...we did not.  We instead shared a much needed quiet day at home.  It was good for our souls!

Halloweenn {2015}

My little heroes were so cute tonight!  We had a great time with friends as always.  When we got home, the kids found cards in the mail from Nena...oh my gosh, how fun!

Pumpkins {2015}

We have our annual Halloween Bash at the Maclaskey's tomorrow.  SO tonight we decided we had better get our pumpkins carved.  Gavin requested a spider and Logan requested a transformer.  Any surprises there?  Sis was not pleased that she didn't get to help.  Of course by the time the kids asked to do this it was close to 8PM and we were really just trying to expedite the process!  Daddy did a great job as always.  I am so glad I have such a an artsy, talented husband.

My Cup Runneth Over...

What a weekend...I was home with the kiddos this weekend while Daddy worked.  Today everyone skipped naptime.  As a result by 7:45 they were all sacked out on the living room floor.  As crazy and chaotic as this time is, I am reminding  myself to slow down and enjoy it.  My cup runneth over...

Aunt Kate is Engaged!

My baby sister is getting married!  I got to do their engagement photo session today...so fun!  She and Tyler are such a cute couple.  My kids adore them both.  Can't wait to see how pretty their babies will be. ;)

Happy 50th Papa!

Tonight we threw my dad a surprise 50th birthday party.  While I have never thrown a surprise party before and this one was thrown together last minute, I think it turned out well.  Of course I forgot to take any pics during the party as I was busy hostessing away.  While my dad and I haven't always seen eye to eye, age is changing us both for the better.  He is now more patient, kind-hearted and loving than he has ever been.  Happy 50th Papa from the Taylor crew!
