I love my life with my boys

This is a layout I made for My Mind’s Eye’s blog for April.

And the journaling says:
Many people ask me if I wish I had a girl. I guess being the mom of two boys must make me want to have a little girl but I must admit that I really don’t. I love my life with my boys and I just adore how much they make me laugh every day. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

I snapped this photo of you while you were watching TV. You’re holding a tissue cause you like to imitate blowing your nose since I have allergies and do it often. I love how totally engrossed you are and how cute your tiny fingers look in this photo. I just adore you so much.

The sweet moment of relief and gratitude

This is a layout I made for My Mind’s Eye February newsletter.

And the journaling says:
After you cried so much when we dropped David off on is first day of school i was very worried that your first day of school would be a disaster. I worried and worried. As we walked into the room, you saw this basket of cars and immediately began to play. When I started saying goodbye you were sad but only until you realized you got to stay. Then all was good again. I am so very grateful that you love school so much.

Creative time is the best time

This layout was for Maya Road CHA Winter show.

Journaling Reads:
There are many things I like to do with you or watch you play. But my very favorite is definitely creative time. I love seeing you paint and draw and make your own creations. I love t see how focused you get while you create and come up with ideas. How you like color as much as I do. Maybe it’s cause I love creative time best for myself, too. But my hope is that as you grow up you will always hold on to that creative side and enjoy it.

Yet Another Perk of Working At Home

This layout is for Write.Click.Scrapbook’s April Gallery. The theme is to scrap “I grateful for …”.

Journaling Reads:
There are many great things about being able to work at home. One of them is that I can take a fifteen minute break and set up a table full of stamps for you two to play with and then I can sit next to you and do my work while you create and play and giggle and if you need help i am right here. I am so grateful to get to work from home so I can see both of you growing up.

Never be too scared to explore and question everything

This is a layout I made for My Mind’s Eye for winter CHA.

And the journaling says:
My sweet boys One of the things I learned as I got older is that it’s important to explore as much as you can. Follow all your interests. Never be too scared and don’t give up too soon. You never know what will end up being the thing that fills up your soul and if you get scared to explore you will miss out on living life in the best possible way. So go down every path. Ask questions. Embrace life fully and wholeheartedly.

There are so many things that I love about you two but at the very top of my list is seeing the two of you laugh together.

I love how you’re lying on the couch together and laughing with so much joy.The two of you just light up every single of my days. I love you.

life is never boring with you two around

This is a layout I made for Maya Road for winter CHA.

And the journaling says:
All Nathaniel wants to be is like his big brother. All David wants to do is make silly faces so David makes silly faces an Nathaniel copies him. Then he checks jus to make sure he does it correctly and I just watch the two of you and laugh. I am so grateful for the joy and laughter you have brought into my life. You make it all so much more fun. I love you both.

You sure know how to be so dramatic if you don’t get what you want

This is a layout I made for My Mind’s Eye for winter CHA.

And the journaling says:
Little Nathaniel you are growing up and learning new things every day. One of these things is how to get your way more often. You’re figured out that it breaks our heart to see you cry so when you want something and don’t get it you immediately cover your face and break into tears. We all know it’s fake because if you get your way they magically dry up. But even as we know you
re manipulating us we love you so much that we often give in.
