A Brothers Love…

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn

A Brother is a special gift

Sent from God above

For us to cherish daily

And fill them up with love

In the beauty of a brother

It’s so plain and easy to see

Just how wonderful they make your life

And how they were meant to be

Now what is it that makes a brother

It’s quite difficult to say

Except he is the reason

Why your sun shines everyday

 

–Paris

I used my new FREE lightroom preset on all of these photos.

Good news: we are going TODAY to pick up Carsyn’s Stroller and Stander. I am so excited!! I can not wait to cruise him around in his stroller instead of carrying him all the time or trying to prop him up in a regular stroller. Bad news: Dustyn has been a little sick with a fever the past few days. BLAH! Oh and we may be getting hit by a big hurricane this weekend. Joy! Not!

    Oh the quote is so lovely. I hope my son has a brother some day. I just love the focus on Carsyn's sweet little hand and his lashes with the negative space is so precious. And Dustyn's eye so curious. I can tell he is smiling! Lovely, lovely post Sarah.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.
