I know, I know, I know.....I have seriously neglected this little blog. Life....geez, it really catches up with you. Between the kids, the house work, keeping a small business on the side, and all the ins and outs of life, I just can't ever seem to stay on top of anything. Let alone the stuff that technically can slide. Just a little. In my state of overwhelms I guess I've given up a little on the documenting stuff so much just for the sake of having a bit more time to actually experience stuff. Does that make any sense? I mean, I haven't even been taking as many pictures of my kids it seems lately, because just when something really cute or happy is happening, I run to get the camera and poof the magic goes away. Kids scream because they don't want the camera in their face or they get shy and clam up. I'm mad because I destroyed the moment or practically missed it all together. And when it comes down to it....sometimes I just want to experience something without having to take a picture of it! Not always of course, and being a photographer I can't help but want to have every single moment in a still to look back on forever and ever. But I guess I started thinking, what am I missing by instead of just soaking up that precious second with my kids, running to always get the camera, or ignoring them while I'm on the computer trying to document the cute thing they did on my blog. At least this is what I told myself to justify my complete and utter failure at blogging and taking pictures of my own family. Haha. :) It's definitely more of a pacification for myself than anything. But I guess there is still some truth to it. I always think I'll want the document to remember everything by...whether it is words or pictures, and I'm sure that I will. But I also want to actually enjoy the memories as they are happening I suppose and not be so stressed to document it. And sometimes I'm just not good at doing both. Ahhh.....But I really want to!!! So how does everyone else out there do it??!! Please tell your secrets. :)
Phew....thanks for listening. I must have needed to get that off my chest. :) lol.
Either way though, these cuties are growing like weeds and keeping me as busy as ever. They are fun and wild and feisty and sweet and oh so crazy. Like I said, I really haven't been good at taking pictures lately, but the other day I quickly took a few snaps of these kiddos. I love these simple pics because they are just them. They really really are such sweet little friends right now and I'm just loving it. It's so magical watching a friendship grow between siblings.
So just to give you a little peek, here are my little sweeties at 4 1/2 and 20 months old. Hopefully I will step it up and get more blogging done VERY soon!!!! :) So don't give up completely.

Ahhhhh! Those pictures are so beautiful and sweet! I love them! They are getting so big. Thank you for posting :)
I'm glad you are back! Your little babies are adorable. I feel exactly like you do sometimes. I hope you guys are doing well. We love the Henrys!!
ooooooohhhhhh Ash, you're doing it exactly right. well, either that or we're BOTH justifying our lack of documentation. I've gone through that EXACT battle in my head when smith is galloping around and clapping his hands with nothing but a superman cape on and laughing and giggling and hugging my legs. to run and grab my camera and spoil the moment by saying "back up a little honey, stand still for just a second for mommy!", or do I just hang on to those little hugs for dear life.....
and speaking of both, we're BOTH expecting! and BOTH in September! we'll be quite the sight come May :)
and good gracious, what adorable little ones!
