Looking Back

Natalie lost her first tooth this week. (Pictures to come).  She was excited but it made me sad and missing other toothless children I used to know.  So it sent me digging through old photos.  Then to top it off we are preparing for a bulk pick up for our dilapidated couch that we have sat on and yes, even, peed, and puked on over this past decade.  I spent even more time looking through old photos at the kids on our ugly, plaid, green couch.  I found myself missing my buzz-cut little boys even though they are home right here with me…..DRIVING ME CRAZY STILL (just in a new way) on this snow day.  Some days I wish I could just jump back and forth in time.  Thank God for pictures!

So many photos we have that remind me of  so many things.  Like the way the boys would “comply” when I told them to put pajamas on but mix up their bottoms.

The way Jake carried that dog “JoJo” for YEARS!

The way they looked at Natalie the first time they saw her.

And then how they all looked at Ben!

The million and one ways we caught Andrew looking like Mike!   

So many photos so much fun…think I’ll just post some of my favorites every once in awhile!

And before I forget the green couch that is about to GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
