…just a little account of life with my sweet boo + bunnies last weekend! sometimes, on any given day, i like to hand my sister my camera because she captures the littlest sparkles just oh so well for me. 🙂
and you know! it’s occurred to me lately, that i think maybe the smallest life moments are the ones i want to preserve the most. because down the road, i’ll probably remember the big life moments! it’ll be easier to recall the larger, more spectacular things. and like i wouldn’t have my camera with me for full documentation of spectacular things, anyway! ha! but it’s so easy to forget the everyday things, because they seem so normal and routine…
but it all changes so quickly!
i already find myself going back to old photos to remember details of what regular life was like when steven and i were first married or when maddalena was teeny tiny… and i can’t even tell you how many times i go back in my blog archives to see what we were doing at certain points in time! it all turns into such a blur so fast… and one day i’ll want to look back and know what madd’s hair was doing when she was three [crazy awesome stuff!]. and how stinkin’ delicious rocco was at 7 weeks old. how steven’s haircuts [and arm muscles, ahem] were all sorts of handsome perfection in 2015 and how brittany like, never got any. or wore shoes. haha. or how funny our family looked without… whatever other kids we’ll have! one more, at least? right babe? 😉
so, lately! here in august of 2015… i am happiest outside, on a porch. preferably the farm porch, and that’s nothing new, now is it! but i’m really craving it these days. rain or shine, fresh air, porch life. with my ladybug romping around, leaping, dancing like she does. snuggling with my newest little man… he nurses, he doses, he nurses, he dozes. hopefully having my tallest man bring me a lovely glass of red once we get near enough to 5pm. 😉 and having good conversations and hearty laughs with my parents and siblings and whoever else is buzzing around, doing all of their things!
and speaking of normal/not normal, stevo flew out to the san diego zoo this morning to see their vet hospital for the day… for work! and i am all sorts of jeal. i told him he better take pics of ape surgery or whatever the happs are there today, because pics or it didn’t happen, right!
you had a baby 8 weeks ago—-no way!! you look amazing! and you should have came to SD and hung out with us 😉 next time! um we love the zoo- just became members! and couldn't agree more, always forgetting the day to day from the past (which is usually the sweetest part of life).
you are so sweet, thank you, beauty! i still totally feel like i'm made out of play-doh. 😉 blah! and stevo was only getting to visit the SD zoo hospital AND they took a small private plane, anyway, or believe you me, i'd have begged!!! one day!!
You look like you didn't have a baby! So awesome. It is so true it's hard to remember the every day and find a way to record it. I make such a conscious effort to video the kids. I love watching old home videos and I want that for them. The loud tubbies. The sledding in the back yard. Riding their bikes up and down. That stuff. It's important. As at Madd's curls.
ahhh sweet music to my ears, not true at all, but thaaaank you!!! and yes yes on video, too. it's hard because now all our videos are these 1 minute blips on iphones so you really have to put an effort into it! one day i'm planning to compile, because i'm with you… they have to have old home videos!!
What a beautiful family! I know what you mean about wanting to capture all the small stuff too. I actually go through my facebook every now and then and check out pictures of what I was doing this time last year. Oh and P.S. I can't believe you have kids already, you don't look like you had a baby 8 weeks ago. You look fab! Wish I had your metabolism and genes!
yes facebook! in college i used to check my facebook photos to make sure i wasn't re-wearing an outfit to something! haha! now i check all sorts of things to jog my memory! and now there's even timehop! crazy. i'm glad. and THANK YOU!!! that seriously makes me feel good. i definitely have a little ways to go before i feel like i'm normal looking brittany again!! the babes are so worth it, though! 🙂
oh my goodness! Those sweet baby cheeks!
