Our Babymoon


Tonight I was looking through all of the pictures on my phone and though they aren't perfectly in focus, and the lighting isn't always right, they make me so happy! Each and every one is just the way I want to remember our babymoon. So tonight uploaded a few to share with you. This first one is when Claire was just hours old, she was hanging out with her best girl Violet. They have decided that even though they are cousins, they want to play twins with Lily and Iris's old clothes! I can't wait!!!


Here she is getting rid of some of that jaundice in the sun. On this day we sat here in front of the window in my big chair, with her stripped down to her diaper, and nursed all day long....Seriously, is there anything better than nursing a little bare baby?


This one was taken after a pretty long night. Molly had stayed up late with me the night before and when I got up early the next morning she held Claire (and fell back asleep) while I got the coffee going. So sweet!


Claire already likes to be played to, and around here she gets to enjoy a good session at least once a day. With her long fingers she'll probably be joining in before we know it!


Maddie LOVES being a big sis! She requested and posed for this picture, my little camera hog. :)


Maddie took this one the other night as I was stealing kisses from Claire's soft little neck. Aren't those neck kisses the best?!


Daddy showing off her first manicure...


Stylin' and profilin'. 


This is what I like to call "milk drunk". You know the look! It's when their little faces are just covered in milk, and you can't wake them up for nothing. It's my favorite.


Tim took this picture of Nana (my mama) on a Claire visit. Claire likes when Nana and Papa come, she told me the other night that she can't wait to go camping with them when she gets older. ;)


Every night little Claire gets passed around for that one last "hold" before bed. Tonight Tim and Claire fell asleep during their last hold...it makes me think of the other morning when he leaned over her cradle and told me "Mama, I'm gwad (glad) she wuttin a boy." I love that he loves to take care of his girls.

She was twelve days old today. It's crazy how one little baby can have an entire family completely wrapped around her tiny finger in just twelve days. We are just so grateful to have her! And we are so thankful for all of these special family moments that have made the last twelve days so memorable. I feel like the most blessed mama in the world! xo, Sam

You surely are blessed, and so is Claire to have such a loving family. I bet if you didn't nurse, you might never get to hold her!

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
