The Story Of Us

As you can imagine there is a lot going on lately.. My mom flew in a week or two before little H came and has been living with us since.. which means tons of bonding with the boys (a great plus since she lives continents away and the only bonding time she usually gets is via skype) plus tons of rest for me. What will I do when she leaves!? We have had snow.. so much snow.. well most of the country has had it's share of the snow by now .. and while it started out fun.. our house has a slope in the back so we all.. all except little H went sledding for the first time..ever! It was a lot more fun than I had expected. But now I am done.. I don't want to see another snowflake till December! I'm sitting here by our window watching the snow fall as I type this! H is a month and a half.. a month and a half! Can you believe it? I can't. D is being an excellent big brother.. he sings to H, makes grossed out faces when The H.. yes he like to add 'the' before

I hope all you mothers and daughter and sons had a lovely mother's day. We spoke with M's mom who lives far far away.. I wasn't able to speak to mine.. she is travelling right now and we don't get to speak much.. we don't live in the some country, not even the same continent and in different time zones but try to speak a few times a week and skype just as much but even those days when we are busy and days go by without talking I know she is right there in her home just a phone call away. This trip she is on makes me miss her a lot more, she with my dad and brother have been travelling for a few weeks now and won't be back home for another few weeks.. and her not being just a phone call away makes me uneasy.. if you could please say a little prayer for their safe journey and safe return home.. That's us when she visited last year for D's first birthday.. while searching for a picture of us together I came to realize that we have no pictures together.

D is almost two years old now and making a growth chart for him has been on my to do list since before he was even born.. yes, that is how far behind I am on my list of things to do.. hey.. don't judge! I started with cardboard from the white corrugated display boards you can get at any Micheal's or Staples. Cut it in to pieces.   I attached the two pieces with colorful stripes of felt. I used a pliable material mainly so that it could be easily folded. Else I'd have D pulling at it and most probably doodling on it.. I also used the same colored felt as an edging. The back being brown and covered with writing I decided to glue on some colorful gift wrap, so that it looks nice folded. I marked D's height at 6 month intervals and glued a button at the end of every marking. Then I marked M and my height too.. yes that is me under the 5feet mark.. I added a jute loop to both sides of the chart to I could fold it and hang in D's room. and in other n

Over the weekend we picked out of a few of the many many creations D made in his art class  and framed them.  And then his father with his assistance of course put them up on the wall.  For those who can't get enough of me ; ) Pin with me on  Pinterest and get my post directly in you inbox with  Bloglovin Let's Stay Connected, Shall We?

Last years.. just a mere 17 minutes ago I had just finished huffing and puffing and there he was my slimy little baby boy. He stayed in the hospital a week longer than he was supposed to.. he liked having all the nurses at his beck and call.. picky he, even switched hospitals. He wanted more special care.. Since that day he has kept us on our toes and we have kinda almost enjoyed every moment of it. So happy birthday baby boy.. I.. we can not imagine life without you.. well we can when we want to sleep in on the weekends and you don't.. : )  But you know what I mean. Here's to many many more..
