This photo was taken before the room swap, i.e. awhile ago, but I still wanted to share it. Especially since it is so similar to this one!

There are times that they fight, scream and hit each other; however, there are also times that they play so well together…

And excuse the underwear, pants are optional most days around here.

this last one is out of focus but I still love Charlie’s face in it :)

This morning we braved the crowds to enjoy the Winter Park Christmas Parade and then we followed it up with breakfast with Santa at Jay’s school. All of it seemed pretty crazy and busy but at one point during breakfast Jay looked at me and said “Mommy, this is a really fun day.” I guess all of the crazy was worth it ;)

Thanks for everyone who enjoyed the festivities with us.

Charlie was obviously much happier about seeing Santa than he was last year!

I am not sure why I decided to photograph Charlie (and Luc as well) in the same outfit as I used for Jay’s 3 month photo shoot but I am sure glad that I did! It makes these side by side comparisons of the boys that much more fun! After looking at these photos here are my thoughts

-They all look alike; however, I think they all look very much like their own little people.

-Jay was not as small as we once thought he was.

-Charlie was always as big as we thought he was.

-Luc looks to be the longest of the boys.

-Luc is a peanut, a very happy peanut!! I mean look at those legs!

Enjoy and happy Friday to you!

This one I only have one of Jay and Luc but I included it since it shows how long Luc is in comparison to the other boys.

a shared big boy room

Eventually the boys, Jay and Charlie, will be sharing a room. We have tried a few times to get them to either nap or go to bed in the same room unsuccessfully. We know that it will happen eventually and we have made a big no-turning-back push this week for it to happen. Our fingers are crossed that it will work out and that they can figure things out. That being said, I did take this upcoming “move” as an excuse to change some things up in Jay’s room. Everything was finished before Luc arrived (yes I did all of the painting while 8 plus months pregnant) but I haven’t been able to post anything about it until now. Aside from painting both the room and the dresser, not much else was done and I didn’t spend much money (I only purchased the wall paint, the large J and C and blackout roller shades for the windows, everything else was just moved around from one place to another or repainted). I am pretty happy with how it turned out and LOVE that I can now take photos in there that aren’t a pain to color correct ;)

Cross your fingers for us that this arrangement eventually works…

Here’s a few of the before photos so you can see the awful wall color.

Here’s the after. When I took these photos I hadn’t changed the photos in the frames yet or painted the wooden frames grey- they are that way now but you will have to either visit or use your imagination to picture it;)

For all of the crazy that surrounds us daily there are a handful of moments just like this that make it all worth it.

I am not going to waste time with words these days… the photos will just have to speak for themselves :)

Notice the car shared by Jay and the keys shared by Charlie ;)

blue waters- beach time

Here’s the second installment of photos- the beach. We spent almost every morning on the beach playing in the beautiful water and sand. It was glorious and these photos don’t really do it any justice.
