well, it's a new week!
things are changing slowly around here... we've still been busy doing a whole lot of nothing, but also hiking a ton in the mountains which has been absolutely won.der.ful. in every way. :)
we're getting ready to head to my grandparents' house for another couple days of yard work. aaron will probably be starting his new job this week or next. i have a photo shoot coming up this weekend. i have been busy scouring homeschool curriculums and trying to put some plans in place for roman's kindergarten this fall.
.
amidst all of that, i wanted to stop in and share some miscellaneous photos from recently and some of the little "happy thoughts" in our lives right now :)

two little faces and four little hands with chubby fingers to adore.
also, it kills me that roman love to wear my t-shirts to bed right now. ;)
( yes, i know they have mullets. this was pre-haircuts! )

these crazy curls, and this soft, smooth, cuddly little baby boy of mine.
i always hate to trim his hair, but as you can see it gets a little out of control. ;)

asher's spider obsession.
he literally LOVES this little collection of "piders" as he calls them. he has all these little games he plays with them and i love when he says, "where pider?" or "he nice!" while petting the big tarantula. it kills me that asher is getting big enough for these things. i still think of him as the little baby padding around, but here is now- packing up roman's hand-me-down backpack with his favorite toys.
