daddy moments

jacob is a lucky little boy to have a dad that loves him so! i find myself listening to the two of them from another room and i simply smile and feel joy. i love to capture their moments. today, they were practicing "how big is jacob? soooo big!" :)

costumes

last year, jacob assisted my 'soccer mom' look by being a soccer ball.

here's a closer up, but this was the end of the night so the paint was a bit smeared. i thought he made a cute soccer ball :)

and this year, he's shaping up to be a pretty cute little monkey!

like father, like son?

last year at the pumpkin patch...


this year at the pumpkin patch...


when i came across this photo of matt in the wheelbarrow last year, i started cracking up. of course matt would be in a wheelbarrow! and then i thought about this photo of jacob. these boys are two peas in a pod!

notes to self

(insert obligatory 'wow-i-really-suck-at-blogging-lately' comment.)

i'm really not fishing for any encouragement in the form of a comment from my faithful blog followers. just wanted to remember what it felt like to hit 'create new post' button :)

i'm thinking about gettin' back to bloggin'. no expectations, no 'i have to post twice per week' thoughts. just when i: a.) have the time, and b.) have something to share.

i'm loving every minute spent with my hubs and sweet babe and enjoying some freedom from the computer when i'm home. the whole going back to work thing sucks. it really, really does.

peace!
