Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~ Alex Haley

Charlotte’s Web ~

I am a little short on words tonight, but as I was preparing a wedding post, I came across this beautiful photo. Reminds me of my favourite book – Charlotte’s Web.

I still have lots to post, including a gorgeous Indian wedding – I removed one recently and will be updating it more soon, so stay tuned!

my dear little angels

Curled up all cosy and comfy in bed, I turned on the music and climbed in beside you. As I lay there watching you drift off to sleep, I had the most agonizing pain in my heart, and I began to cry. You didn’t notice, thank goodness, because if you had asked me what was wrong, I am afraid I would not have been able to answer – I had the biggest lump in my throat. You see, lately, I feel so disconnected to both of you….you are both growing up so incredibly fast, right before my eyes and I miss you terribly.

I want to step back and reconnect again. I want make it all about you, your fun, your energy, and all about the love I have for both of you. I promise to stop and listen to you and give you the undivided attention you deserve. I promise to have more patience and understanding. I want to go to the bridge and play Pooh Sticks and maybe kick a ball in the park. I want to look into your eyes when you are talking to me and not do 4 things at the same time. I love you both with all my heart for eternity.

Spring…we love this time of year. It always invites us out to explore. These images are from last year, but just looking at them again makes me anticipate our next adventure.

“The only thing worth stealing is a kiss from a sleeping child.” ~ Joe Houldsworth

You are the loves of my life. While you sleep I can sit and watch you for hours. I love hearing the sound of your sweet breathing, and I love watching the amazing peaceful look on your precious faces. You are always on the go and I cherish this amazing time when I can actually sit and soak you all in. Your momma loves you so…

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it.” – George Moore

Family time is very important to me. On this beautiful day, we decided to head out and go exploring. The day started with beautiful blue skies.

….and the day MUST start with a big cup of Timmy’s!

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
– Oprah Winfrey

The first day of school is always exciting at our place, but for me, it’s also a bit hard. Not because they are going to school, but because my babies are growing up.

This is what we woke up to….glorious.

I love the little details

Telling me a great story.

the great journey ~

In that moment, quiet surrounded me. It was as if time actually stood still. My breath caught. My heart stopped. Slowly, gently, I wrapped you in my arms. I felt the steady rhythm of your heart next to mine. Softly, I pressed my cheek to yours, closed my eyes and exhaled… In the stillness of that quiet miracle, I held you, my new daughter, for the very first time. In that moment at last, the journey of many hearts beat as one. And you were home. ~ unknown

My heart is full of joy for you. She is pure love, pure joy. I thank you for bringing this beautiful little girl into all of our lives. We are so blessed.

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
Kahlil Gibran

When I first found out we were about to be blessed with a son, my heart filled with tremendous joy and responsibility. Not only was I being given the opportunity to be a mother to this precious boy, I was also being given the cherished opportunity to raise a loving and wonderful man. He is but just a boy now, but everyday I look into his eyes and see the qualities of a great man. Thank you for picking me to be your mommy. I love you my little superhero. The world is so lucky to have you.

windy walk ~

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. – Helen Keller

On a windy day, we went for a short walk. I was tired and just wanted to do nothing, but knowing how much you wanted to do this, I obliged. You were so happy, you danced around. I enjoyed our short windy walk; I will always have this memory. It has now become part of me, part of our story. Short windy walks are precious…and so are you. I love you so much.
