catching up

There is no way that I can ever catch up on the two years that I have neglected this sweet blog of mine. But I have been drawn to it frequently over the last few months. Maybe it’s that our babies are growing up and I’m nostalgic for their tiny little selves, maybe I miss having a “real” camera in my hand instead of a phone that captures less than stellar images. I’m not exactly sure what it is or even if I will be able to keep anything up around here but I am going to try.

So, hello again world… for now at least…

And because they have grown so much, here is a pretty recent photo of our sweet little boys. Goodness I love them so :)

cousins

Last week while Felix and Nicole were in town we were able to grab a photo of all 5 cousins together. We had to wake three of our four boys up from naps to attend the afternoon family gathering, where the photos were taken, and needless to say Luc was a little less than thrilled to be smiling for the camera. We grabbed one decent photo of the 5 boys ages 6 and under (which is no small feat) and then another that I love! Not because it is picture perfect but because it cracks me up SO much! I love my boys and their sweet cousin.

pj’s

I LOVE dressing the boys in matching clothing and even more so I love matching PJ’s. It’s getting more difficult to find matching stuff the more Jay grows but I will keep doing it until I literally can’t anymore, because really why not?

Sweet, freshly bathed kiddos…

And this because it makes me laugh!

jay bird- 6 years old

When I took the photos of the boys all together I took the opportunity to take a few photos of each of the boys individually. It really is hard to believe that this kiddo is 6 years old and stands taller than my elbow. He’s missing 6 teeth, almost finished with kindergarten and reading on his own. He is growing up before my eyes…

infectious smile

brothers

I am not exactly sure why but when Charlie turned three months old I put him in the same outfit for his photo shoot as I did with Jay and in turn I have used it with with Luc and Remy. It is fun to see a side by side snapshot of all of them together at the same age. Especially, since one of the most common questions we get since having Remy is who do you think he looks like? Honestly, I think he just looks like one of the brothers. I see glimpses of each of the boys from time to time but nothing that tips the scale towards one boy or the next.

I don’t have Jay in this lying down pose but it’s still fun to see the others side by side.
