Lunch & Summer.

Today we had lunch outside. 

The weather the last couple of days has been wonderful. 

Perfect. 

Perfect eat outside weather.

It's not like we never eat outside, actually we do quite often, but I usually don't think twice about it.

But today, as we were eating outside, I started thinking about summer and all the fun stuff I'll get to do with the kids this year.

Last summer I was hugely pregnant with Jacob, and while I didn't work most of the summer, I didn't want to do much. No one really does when they are huge with their second child. 

But this summer will be different. 

I won't be working and I won't be pregnant. 

We can go to the beach whenever we want.

We can pack up and leave for the River whenever we want.

We can go to the park whenever we want.

We can swim in my parent's pool whenever we want.

We can do whatever we want, whenever we want.

I can't wait. 

Seriously, can't wait.

Busy {but not really}.

I realized today that I haven't posted for a while.

I just haven't been in the mood. 

I haven't been reading as many blogs and I haven't been commenting as much as usual. 

I guess I've been in sort of a blog funk. 

We've been sort of busy these past few days while I haven't been blogging.

Not crazy, overwhelming busy, just busy with things to do here and there. 

It's been nice.

We've been spending quality time together as a family, alone time to get re-energized, and couple time to reconnect. 

Like I said, it's been nice.

I also realized I haven't been taking too many photos. 

Part of me is happy because that means I'm taking part in the moments that are happening and I'm not watching behind the lens. 

But part of me is sad because some of those moments will never be captured for me to see again. 

Hopefully they will stay in my mind for as long as possible.

Here are some of the moments I did capture and I'd like to share.

I love the way Jacob is looking at Ethan in this picture.

 

 

I have a couple videos I might add tomorrow, if I feel up to it, but for now both boys are asleep so I'm off to bed.

Phone Photos.

I was looking through the pictures on my phone today and I realized I really love some the photos I have taken.

Camera phone apps are so fun and easy to use. I find myself using them more and more lately, especially when we are out and I don't want to lug around the big camera. 

My only problem is that I never take them off the phone and save them to the computer. 

So I did today.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Do you use your phone for photos?

If not, check out some of the free camera apps out there and give them a try.

You'll thank me.

Marking My Calendar.

Well I did it.

I registered for this, sure to be lovely, event.

It's a little ways away but I'm excited.

And my sister Erin is going with me. She just started blogging and I'm happy to have a friend to go with. 

In a few weeks I'll be seeing this pair in concert.

I grew up listening to Rod and Stevie and I can't wait to hear them live. 

It'll be awesome, I'm sure of it.

Then just a few days later I'm going to this.

If you've never heard a song of Mumford & Sons, get on iTunes right now and have a listen. 

I love them.

I listen to them everyday.

Ok, I'm a bit obsessed.

So needless to say, I'm so overly excited about seeing them live.

Plus, the whole concept of this tour is amazing. Check out their website here.

Last but not least, I'm seeing the cast of Glee live.

I imagine my ears will be happy for days and days upon hearing these fine people sing.

So there you have it. 

A few things that are filling up my calendar and making me one happy gal.

My Desk.

Is clean, organized, decorated, and now a functioning work space.

This hasn't happened in about 8 months. 

I'm patting myself on the back.

St. Patty's.

 We wore green shirts, ate green eggs, drank green milk, did green crafts, and had green cookies.

.

It's good to be Irish, even if it's just a little bit.

Wednesday Snapshots.

Today we stayed at home.

Nothing to do, no errands to run, no one to see.

So we just played and enjoyed our relaxing day at home.
