My sweet boys, i know summer can be a lot of work for a work at home mommy like me and i am trying o make sure you have a lot to do so that I can work without interruption as much as possible. But I am also looking forward to summer so much because it means David will be home everyday and I can watch the two of you play together. That is my very favorite thing to do lately. It makes me feel so very grateful and deeply happy.

In the beginning of 2011 I decided we would take full family photos weekly. I know that even if they were posed and in the same spot, I would love having them What i didn’t know then was how we would invent tickle time at the end of each session and how i would cherish those photos even more!

You always listen to me and do what I ask without complaining, You take walks with me and give me hugs and curl up with me. But What i love the most is how happy you are. How you don’t have my sad demeanor. and how you can lift me up with just one smile and you smile a lot! I love you David.

You love to create a little drama if you do not get your way

Journaling Reads:
My little boy, you are now at an age where you are able to communicate and tell us what you want and now that you know we can understand if you don’t get exactly what you want you want, you put on this face of pure sadness and devastation. your hands cover your moth in shock and if you can you throw yourself to the ground. it doesn’t really work but we both smile at how cute you are sometimes we can’t help but give in.

This layout was for Maya Road and Little Yellow Bicycle swap.

And my final layout with Little Yellow Bicycle’s Twig line. I adore this line.

Journaling Reads:
One of the only regrets I have about living far away is that I am away from you, Yona. I know we had a tumultous childhood but we’ve grown into sisters who love each other so much and I am really sad we’re so away from each other. Even though I was really scared o leave the kids, I am so glad I took the plane to come see you while toy were in NYC. It will be one of my favorite memories of the two of us forever.

David you do not know this just yet but having a little brother means you have someone who follows you around and does what you do. Even at one he already does and I am so thankful you’re so kind about it every day.
