Children are truly a blessing from the Lord. We continually thank God for the two little gifts He’s given us. Isaiah continues to grow and be a sweet baby. Becca is also growing in her interactions with Isaiah. She’s quick to jump in for picture taking if I’m taking pictures of Isaiah.
I’ve learned three things about myself and taking care of the kids: 1.) Each day I must rely on God’s grace to give me patience as I parent a toddler an infant; 2.) I must have a morning snack and afternoon snack or I become rather cranky and impatient; 3.) As much as I like to have everything neat and tidy, dishes and straightening up can wait when both kids are napping and I can catch a nap too.
A few last pictures from the 4th of July. We went to see fireworks sponsored by the Arlington Highlands (shopping center). Before lunch, Becca and I spend some time preparing for the event by watching fireworks on youtube. The preparation seemed to help, and Becca not only enjoyed the fireworks but was very anxious for them to begin. We found a great spot to watch and enjoyed the apple juice ice pops and popcorn we brought from home. (Isaiah slept through the fireworks but was pretty mad that his feeding was late due to the time it took to get out of the parking lot!)
Continue to love the pictures. You’re amazing to be keeping up with two kids and two posts a week! Love you lots…..
SOOO Cute!
Love the pictures! Can’t believe how fast Isaiah is growing. He’ll be up with Becca before you know it! Love you all.
Glad you are still able to get out and do fun family outings that Becca enjoys – esp with Isaiah still so young. I know it helps Becca to feel special. Arlington looks like a fun place to be for holidays. We were able to see some fireworks from our front yard. It was a relaxing way to end the day after our drive back from Georgia on the 4th. Happy 5 week birthday Isaiah! Your 1st 5 weeks have passed very quickly. Your chubby cheeks are so cute – and its looking like you are going to have your mom’s pretty, dark eyes (at least they look dark in pictures). Glad you are all doing well! Love you!
Great picture of Becca in mommy’s shoes. Looks like she has on drop earrings at a glance. Beautiful little girl!
Great pictures as usual. What a great idea to watch fireworks on utube to help Becca know what to expect. You always come up with such great ideas!
