TELL: Cousins

I am behind in my posting...what else is new.  

For Mothers Day we headed down to Austin's parents house.  It was so fun getting together with all his family.  it was fun to see the cousins unite (minus 2)!  I loved watching our little man play with his cousins, he still is much smaller than all of them but they were so cute with him.  I really didn't take many pictures the whole weekend, but snapped a few during a bubble blowing session...and we had to round them all up for at least one group picture.  

Look at this bunch of cuties!

TELL: We are BACK!

After my last worrisome mom post you may know that we left Rowen for the first time.  It was hard, it involved tears, MANY check up phone calls and a weird feeling at the pit of my stomach...BUT I survived!  And believe it or not I think I did pretty well.  It might have had something to do with the fact  that we were only gone for 36 hours, that the whole trip was a whirlwind of driving, not sleeping, taking lots of pictures and almost missing our flight home (literally ALMOST missed our flight home, they had to reopen the doors for us).  There just wasn't much time to think about missing our little guy.  Although the trip was short/crazy Austin and I got to take pictures and video of this adorable couple on their wedding day...

TELL: My Insta week + MIA

I have been MIA for a bit and let me give a small explanation why...

Along with all the work I have been trying to catch up on I have been mentally preparing for this weekend.  Austin and I are going to Texas and leaving Rowen for the first time.  I cant begin to explain how I feel about this.  I have been trying not to worry, think of the worst, or get overly anxious but I just cant help it.  I hate that I am going to be so far away from him and not be able to put him to bed or be there when he wakes up.  ha ha yes I might sound overly obnoxious and a little melodramatic (Before I had my own child I would have thought the same of someone else) but its just my deep down mega crazy motherly instinct that has kicked in.  AND well I love him...ha ha isn't that enough? 

So although he will be in the best hands EVER (my mom) while we are away, I still worry.  And my week has been less consumed with other things such as blogging and more about the "what if's".  BUT this last week was wonderful I have many things to share.  In the mean time here are a few of my phone pictures from last week.

this last week involved:

BABY ducks in our (apartment) pool

Little friends

New Sandals

Pizza on the sand

parks

Fountains and farmers markets

TELL: Painting Babies

Another post that is long over due.  

awhile back my friend Robyn had this idea.  She had done it before and I loved it.  Just put a bunch of paint on a canvas and let the little guys go to town.  Well...this experience has made me come to the conclusion that I do not have a future Picasso.  And why you say?  Well Rowen HATED it, he hated it on his hands he hated it on his feet he hated everything that had to do with the feeling of paint.  He did enjoy chewing on a paint brush though.  

Below is a perfect picture of his disgust.  He is thinking...what is all this crap?

His best bud Rome did quite well, isn't his hair fantastic?  

ha ha I put him on the canvas hoping he would at least walk on it, and he was soooo sad, then fell.  What a horrible mom I am

it was all worth it in the end...they got to be classic boys and play in the dirt, guess dirt feels better than paint?

Tell: My Insta Week

So I am without a lens for my camera...and have been for about 3 weeks now.  It broke and is on the repair.  It is pretty depressing and I have sooooo much to share but I just dont want to take the pictures with my camera phone.  Im hoping I will get it back this week, I miss it oh so much!

 So I swear I have more to share then just instagram pics :)
