Happy Birthday Brother!

A big 26th shout out for my baby brother!!

Happy Birthday Bub - we love and miss you

The race

Jackson vs. Finn is never a fair match (at least not since Finn stopped biting) but look at the determination on my sweet son's face. I think it's adorable that he thinks he has a chance!

Jackson - Finn is supposed to turn out bigger than you - be careful. Finn - your time will come, my love.

The water fight

The boys spent a wonderful spring afternoon running free and wild in our dear friend Sabra's backyard. It brings me such joy to see my children free and yes, naked as they experience some good clean fun together. It amazes me to look at these pictures now and to feel such peace as I look at them, because Jackson and I have had a "long" and "trying" day together; the day was long, my patience was not, and Jackson was "trying" to make me insane. Two hours ago I wanted to ship my children to Timbuktu - one way, and now these pictures make me want to kiss them and never let them go.
