My Dear Forest Boy, 

I feel like the most privileged girl in the world to be your momma. Watching you learn and grow, these past months, has been the most magical, new and emotional adventure my heart has ever taken. All of a sudden, the mantra of countless moms, dads and grandparents saying: "Enjoy it, they grow so fast..." has become the beginning of a new reality for me. I feel like I want to press the pause button, weeks at a time, so I can soak up the new pages of your exploding personality. Now that youre going to be a big brother, I find myself living in slow motion more than I used to. I know that in just a few months, well have a new friend and adventurer to share our time with. It wont be just you, me and daddy anymore. That thought excites my heart and it makes me kinda sad at the same time. Not a real sad, but just a realization that things will be kind of different; a good different but different just the same. I cant tell you how thrilled I am to watch you be a big brother and have a new friend for life. I cant wait to watch you two play and come in from outside covered in, Lord knows what, with big grins on your face. But, back to us. You are our best little buddy. You make me and your daddy laugh and love like no other human on earth can. I love you. You have been sunshine to me, and have been the source of so much growth in my own heart and life. The last 5 months, when my heart was the most broken its ever been, you were the greatest source of comfort and light in such a dark time. You were literally the heart of Jesus to me in my most vulnerable moments. Thank you for that sweetheart. You are such a joy. There are so many new happy memories to be made and places to be explored!  Your daddy and I adore you!

Its going to be a fun day today! We all will get to find out if youre going to have a little brother or sister. You, me and your Daddy, were getting ready for another extravaganza of love, arent we!? Lets go, full speed ahead! 

All the love in my heart, 

Momma

Some of my most precious memories being made lately have been taking Káel to his favorite park on sunny days. Sam captured a few of these memories for me a couple of weeks ago. I love having a film guy as my husband. Cant wait to watch all of our videos with our kids when they are older! ;) <3

baby weight loss in the first week

Has it already been a month since Cedar was born and our journey as a family of 4 began? It doesnt quite seem real yet.  Weve been taking this time to get to know our new, wee lad and gather up whatever rest that we can. I am at my worst when I dont get sleep. And the past few nights have FINALLY given me and my little boy the sleep we both were needing. I havent had one full nights sleep since C was born. But, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of zs. ;) Friends have been spoiling us with tasty meals, flowers and treats, this past month, which has been the biggest blessing. I thought it was a blessing when we had gifted meals with Kael, but having two munchkins has proved it a little more difficult to find my rhythm in the kitchen again. So, it has been a lifesaver now more than ever. ;)  I will say, yesterday I masterfully grocery shopped with both boys without incident and felt pretty proud of myself. 

Breastfeeding is going GREAT now and has become a new found love of mine. (I never thought I would be able to actually do it, let alone enjoy it.) It was tricky for the first 3 weeks but now it is just the best thing. (minus of course the fact that I have milk spots on most of my shirts now and am realizing I need a whole new slew of threads to support my boob feeding effort. haha!) Cedar is entering that amazing and magical stage where smiles are frequent and tiny coos and babbles are starting to be what I look forward to every morning. Definitely makes 3 am a more pleasant time when Im greeted with flirty smirks. Im still writing my birth story, its coming soon, I promise. Theres a small sliver of time a day that sometimes allows me to sit down with full attention to the thoughts of my heart and Im trying to take advantage of it whenever I can to write. 

Here are a handful of images from the past several days to give you just a tiny peek into our daily world. 

Beautiful fall flowers from our friends at church. 

A good day of both boys napping meant my poor kitchen got some attention. 

Mister Kael LOOOOOVES preschool

My first love and mini heart throb...in all the unorganized chaos, he still naps like a champ.

Is it weird that Ive been looking forward to this moment since I was a little girl---putting my kids preschool artwork up on my walls... Its seriously one of my favorite things EVER!!! Kael proudly points to his masterpieces each time he walks through the hallway.

Clothes pins have a certain level of fascination for Kael, so...we created a little game. My friend Kristina would be proud of me. ;) 

The little pumpkin who makes my heart beat fast.
