Berg and Hank

Saying Goodbye

We have had our ups and downs as we built our new house. This was one of those tough moments when Berg had to say goodbye to the place he knew as home; a moment when I wish I were a better parent and knew what to do and what to say to make things better. I wanted to end on a happy note, a fun memory for my Bergie bum to cherish, so we had a race around the house. Kind of silly, but at the time it was all I kind think of. We have been at the new house almost three weeks now. I feel like life is starting to slip back into some form of normalcy and we are slowly getting settled. I think the boys are adjusting to all the changes well and hope we can look back on this whole experience one day and know we made the right decision for our family.

Lots of Love

There are so many elements in this picture that would normally bother me; the crazy outfits, uncombed hair, ginormous stroller, but I love it! I can just see the love and adoration these two have for each other and it melts my heart.

Hank 14 months

I do not know where the time has gone. The last few months have been a bit of a blur as we have worked on building the house and I realized I hadn't taken a picture of Hank in a while. It makes me sad to look back and see my last post of Hank and have a visual of how much he has grown up. This little wild man of mine has brought so much happiness to our family. Hankie is always on the move, exploring, and getting into things he probably shouldn't. He has mastered walking and recently started to say a few words (mama, dada, bubba, more, all done, dog, night night, hello). He idolizes his big brother, adores his Dad, and is currently quite attached to his mommy. We all love him dearly and wish that time would slow down just a bit so we could enjoy our baby a little longer.

Oh Mr. Hank how we all love you!

Hank 7 Months

Where, oh where, has the time gone? I can't believe my handsome little man is already 7 months old! He is crawling, rolling, enjoying real food, and adores his big brother. Hank is very determined and loves to get his hands on anything that looks interesting. He is always happy and smiling unless we are in the car. Hank, you are a little bit of sunshine for me; your smile brightens my day and makes me so happy. I didn't think it was possible, but I love you more and more each day...wish I could stop time and keep you my baby forever!

I have been having one of those weeks (maybe months) where the laundry pile just get bigger and bigger, as well as, the paperwork, dishes, to do projects, and so on. I get in the habit of telling Bergen when Mom's done with work, done cleaning the house, done doing who names what we will play. After reading some things last night it hit me: there's always going to be a project, my house will never be spotless; but my little boys are growing up way too fast. I can't claim I am going to change over night into super mom, but TODAY we went to the park in the midst of work, projects, and a messy house and played. It felt wonderful.
