Home Days

Every month, we set aside one weekend and call it our family's "home days."  We've been doing it for a couple years now and I love it - especially during the busy months.  The concept is that we save one weekend a month for us.  We don't really go anywhere, or make any big plans with anyone, and what's left is a whole weekend of time for us to reconnect as a family - - to catch up on things around the house - - and to enjoy these simple, precious moments together.  Because life just goes by so fast!  As our lives get busier, I find myself enjoying our home days more and more.  

Here are a few highlights from this weekend.  :) 

Samuel & Micah already "wrestling" like brothers...  actually, its more like Sammy wrestling Micah...  but pretty soon our little tank will be able to keep up for himself.  

It was such a beautiful weekend, we couldn't help but spend the day enjoying outside.  I love taking advantage of brotherly moments... here's a sampling!  

One of my favorite things about February & March is that the jasmine is in bloom!  It smells soooo lovely and it hits you as soon as you take a step outside.  

Sammy helped me pick some to put in a vase inside.  :)  

I love this picture.  My two darling boys, and their twenty precious toes.  

What better way to end this post than with a video?  Here is Micah blowing a whole lotta raspberries for you all.  :)
