An Update and A Few Pages

The house is moving along! It's bricked and lots of progress has been made on the inside as well. The stucco guy is coming tomorrow to begin, so where you see the Stine plastic...that will be stucco. Obviously, the boards will down too...they were needed to keep the rain out.
And here's a view of the back. I LOOOOVE, LOVE, LOVE the huge windows!! I want (translate neeeed) lots and lots of natural light, so I'm head over heels for these windows! The small posts on the patio will also be replaced with 10x10 cypress posts. I have so many ideas swimming in my head with how we will landscape the back yard. :) And now, on to a few scrapbook pages I've done this past week.

Ordinary Moments:
Journaling reads: It's in the ordinary moments that life becomes extraordinary.


Remember This Moment:
Journaling reads: Flowers. From my little boy. We had just arrived at Point du Hoc. I had to stay in the car to feed Noah. Brady and Daddy got out and started looking around because B was in the middle of a tantrum. About 15 minutes later they showed back up at the car. I could tell that B had a handful of something. Rocks, I assumed. Instead I was sweetly surprised. For in his little outstretched hand were a bunch of the prettiest little yellow and white flowers. I'm a sucker for these offerings. These tiny little treasures made me pause in my frustration. They made me realize that though our parent/toddler relationship isn't perfect, I'm doing okay by my boy. After all, he still wants to give me flowers.
Very Sweet:
Journaling Reads: Life Is Very Sweet Being Your Mom

Window: (This LO is for a "Life Lessons" book I'm putting together for the boys.)

Journaling Reads: Life Lesson 102: If one door opens to another door closed, keep on walking til' you find a window.

Free Bird:

Journaling Reads: Oh, B! This is what you most loved about Paris. Chasing the pigeons at the Louvre. I think it may have been my favorite part too! :)

That's it...have a great week, y'all!
