Happy Valentine's Day from Lane!

We hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. We spent actual Valentine's Day home with our kids, but celebrated tonight at Nantucket. It was nice to get out, just the two of us and enjoy dinner and drinks and actually be able to have good conversation without having a crying baby or naked toddler in our face. Yes, I said naked - it's his new thing.










Sweet teeth

So, both of my kids definitely have a sweet tooth. We had some of Lane's 1st birthday pictures done and in them, we had a smash cake. Well, the cake came home with us - what was left of it -and within 24 hours the entire thing was gone! DJ nor I ate any of it, just the kids. Dutch even found ways of getting the cake down from where I had to continuously hide it. I came into the kitchen one afternoon to find this...

#2 Lovelies

#2 thing of things that I love...

Sunny, warm days. They remind me so much of all the funtimes I had growing up with my family and now also remind me of all the fun memories I have made with our little family - at the lake, pool, beach, park, etc. As a kid, I spent most summer days in the pool, but we took many vacations to the beach and spent countless weekends at the lake. I loved the water and I see now that DJ and I's love for the water is showing through in our little ones. I try not to speed up the seasons and want to enjoyall the days with my kids, but the truth is, I cannot wait for warmer days when we start cooking out, being outside more often and venturing off to all things "water".

LOVE is in the air!

So, to keep with all things "LOVE" this month, I thought I would do a tribute to the things that I LOVE! Something new each day until Valentine's (yes, I am starting a little late)!

For today, it's a simple smile - well, two smiles :)

This smile:

And this one, with these two chicklet teeth:

Let's Race!

Dutch loves to drive his new car and thankfully, Andy, a boy that lives down the street, likes to drive his too. Andy must have more practice because he can actually steer the car and knows how to really drive it. Dutch, on the other hand, doesn't turn much - which then ends with a head on collision into our house or someone! Anyhow, the boys got together over the weekend and decided to race down the driveway...





Calling all Ducks!

DJ and Derek have been doing their fair share of duck hunting this winter, but now it's over...sigh. Each morning that they went, Dutch hurried outside to see what they got that particular day. Lane and I stayed inside where it was much warmer! Check out the pictures below!
