Each morning begins with our children cuddling in bed.
The love and kindness between brother and sister warms this mama’s heart.
A perfect weekend moment.

Checking In
Goodness, I have so much to share with you and so little time to sit down and write.
I find that each day, nurturing and feeding our two growing kids, flies by.
Covering them in kisses, cooking nourishing foods, creating enriching activities, spending quality time together; this is the rhythm of our day-to-day life.
Our son has fit seamlessly into the fabric of our family.
Much to my surprise, I’ve discovered over the past month that taking care of a newborn is ever so much easier the second time around. I’ve done this before. I can do this. Things that overwhelmed me five years ago are now a piece of cake.
In so many ways babies are easy: feed, burp, change, snuggle, repeat. The challenges are to come. Raising a five year old takes ever so much more effort than caring for a newborn. Not in a bad way; just a different challenge. She keeps me on my toes.
And so I spend hours each day breastfeeding, fattening up and bonding with this beautiful baby boy, gearing up for the chaos to come, while supporting and loving our little girl.
Life is full.
Weekend Snapshot, Five Years Apart
One of my favorite things about living in California is having the perfect weather for family walks year round (the first photo is from today, the bottom one is from 2008 when our five year old daughter was a newborn):
I adore these photos of my sweet husband holding our babies.
By the way, we ADORE our new Baby K’tan

David and I have been loving these past two weeks of snuggles, kisses, and quality time together with our children. I may be the happiest I’ve ever felt.

Little brother keeps an eye on her; anything she does is worth watching.
