Her older two & my older two are all age-wise grouped right together. Same with Mariah’s sister, Kluane & her middle and youngest. I love having all of our kids around the same age. We don’t get to see each other often living in different states, but it’s always so nice when we do. Mariah & her husband graciously let us invade their home on our way back from North Carolina. We stopped in Seattle for a brief 48 hours or so back in June & stayed in their camper with our two youngest boys (aka ‘the twins’ ;) ). I snuck outside with Mariah’s two for a quick minute while she watched the babies & Mr. MachC ran off to get us all some coffee drinks.

 

It was definitely worth it for these brother shots. ;)

(Have to say they were a breeze to photograph. You’d think we’d all spent years together … not that they hadn’t seen me in OVER a year.  Or maybe you’d think that I have a lot of boys & ‘get’ how they work … that might be a possibility ;) maybe … )

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, even when times are busy & hectic. Thank you for taking the time to silently share in my world. (And in case you didn’t know, I do love comments ;) & hellos, so please feel free to break out & say hi every now & again, it would make my day.)

 

In the meantime … some reads across the blogging world that have caught my eye … what have you read lately worth sharing?

* Perspective, from Gigi … “I am mothering four young children who someday will …”

* From Stacey about Bedtime at our House: “Parents, remember that now is your opportunity. You may feel yourself harassed as you struggle through the day with children, but you are living the happiest, most golden years of your life. As you tuck them into their beds at night, please be kind …”

* It doesn’t equal happy. Choosing joy. Choose happiness.

* Love these snippets on finding joy in motherhood. #3 totally made me smile :) I say that all the time, that I am the perfect mother for the children that were given to me. There’s a reason they are yours. There’s a reason you were meant to be theirs. Trust that you are the perfect mother for your child. It’s the truth.

Live on purpose. Live with purpose. Live your purpose. | Ralph Marston

Love that. Think about it.

Enjoy your weekend! Enjoy your Joy.
