This time 4 years ago 💕
.
.
Four wild + crazy years with this beautiful boy. 🥳
.
.
This year has been challenging for him as he’s had to learn how to become a big brother. And survive on less undivided attention. ☺️
.
.
In addition, he’s really been working to teach me patience this year. I think I’m finally understanding that. 🤩
.
.
But I couldn’t have asked for a more adorable teacher! 😋
.
.
So very blessed to be his mama! 🥰

Those lashes tho. 💞
.
.
I’ve been willing time to slow down, but it hasn’t been working. ⏳
.
.
My babies just keep getting bigger and I keep missing things. 🥺
.
.
Like this for example. Camilla just turned 10 months old on the 13th, but I *completely* missed her 9MO milestone photo. #momfail 🤦‍♀️
.
.
So I’m cheating and slapping a 9MO sticker on a photo that was taken within a day or so of that milestone and throwing it into my feed. 🤷‍♀️
.
.
And the 10MO photo will not be far behind. 😝

What cast of characters did you have in your inner circle this year?
.
.
This year we had a sweet black kitten, Spider-Man, and Steve. 😻
.
.
Halloween went pretty smoothly tonight until it came time to prepare for work + school tomorrow!
.
.
Particularly when the teacher springs a surprise ‘comfy day’ on us at the end of the week with less than 24 hr notice on Halloween. Complete with an invitation to bring special breakfast treats + drinks 👻

Costumes at school: YAY or NAY?🎃
.
.
Does your school allow it? How do you feel about that? 👻🎃🧛🏻‍♂️
.
.
GQ has never been able to dress up for school, not even when he was in daycare.
.
.
I used to think it was such a shame. Now I understand better the ‘why’ behind it, but as a child of the 80’s I still think it’s kind of a bummer. 👩‍🎤
.
.
That being said, it’s a HUGE load off my plate to not have to deal with costumes + holiday treats for school on top of everything else! 🤷‍♀️😅
.
.
However this day looks for you you’ve done it just right. Even if it doesn’t feel that way. You deserve candy! 🍭🍬🍫

Her face tho...🥰
.
.
This girl just radiates pure joy.
.
.
She makes absolutely everyone feel such love. I just wish I could squeeze her 24/7!
.
.
BTW isn’t the bear darling? My brother-in-law brought it from Russia when we got together this summer. His mom actually made it for her by hand!
.
.
Isn’t that the sweetest?

It’s been a week since we celebrated 10 years with this sweet boy. 🥳
.
.
This photo is the first photo we ever posed for together. ☺️
.
.
I share this photo every year around his birthday and realized I hadn’t yet done so this year. So here you go!
.
.
I still cannot believe it’s been 10 whole years that I’ve been blessed to have his beautiful soul in my life.
.
.
Such an incredible ride it’s been so far!
