From 4 to 5!

It's been a very, very, VERY long time since I lasted posted....

And there's been more changes around these parts than I could ever possibly fit into a blog post, however, there is one MAJOR change that is just around the corner....

Yep, our sweet family of 4 will be a family of 5 in....well, at any time now! 

Little Miss Charlotte Wesley could come at any time now

with her due date just around the corner (December 9th)!

These two have waited a very long time (39 weeks and 3 days now to be exact!) and are incredibly anxious to meet "Baby Charlotte"!

I personally think another little sister will fit in perfectly with these two Loves!

Very exciting :).

My Loves.

*Warning, a GAZILLION and one pictures in this photo post ;).


These pictures were taken when Tucker was right about 4 1/2 and Gracie a little over 2 1/2.

Tucker is kind, sweet, caring, inquisitive, protective (especially of his little sister), intelligent, curious, independent, empathetic, encouraging, a processor and analyser, a pleaser, loving, gentle, a motivator, and leader. 

Gracie is sweet, loving, caring, feisty, loud, strong, tough, intelligent, spontaneous, friendly, social, talkative, independent,  kind, gentle, spunky, lives life out loud and in color, and has just enough sass.


The photographer, Anna Henry, did an amazing job capturing all these things, but my favorite is their evident love for each other :).

Friday Flowers!

A week or so ago, the kids painted terra cotta pots.

Today, we went to our local garden center and the kids picked out flowers to plant in their painted flower pots.

I left it completely up to them, which ever flowers they wanted.

After lunch, the kids planted their flowers, all by themselves!

They were so very proud :)!

Lots of tender love and careful hands!

Gracie said, "Just pat it gently, Tucker" several times lol!

 A little water makes flowers grow!

Tucker very patiently and lovingly showed Gracie how to water the plants just right.

She took careful notes.

 I'm not sure if the right kind of flower got put in the right kind of flower pot or not, but....

I'd say they're as close to perfect as anyone could get :)!

Sunny Thursday
