Hi Everyone!

This is my favorite time of year. All the azalea bushes around town are in full bloom and I can't help but think that this is a small glimpse of what heaven will be like. The trees are also blooming everywhere and the combination makes for a magical feeling as you drive through the city. Love it!

 Love that toothy grin

 Here's our smiley guy! 

 Playing out in the front yard the other day and Blake brought me a pretty pink blossom from our tree. Seth brought me a "flower" too. Just as special of course. :)

 Owen hanging out while I do some dinner prep. :)

 Finally got an "After" picture of the boys' closet. I think Micah did a pretty good job!

Took my tennis shoes out of the closet and found them to be tied together. Blake has a fascination with tying knots lately. Never know when you might find a new masterpiece around the house.

 Eight weeks old, people!

 He is getting bigger every day. It's sweet to see him starting to try and use his hands. I just want to sit and hold him all day! I don't know how I get anything done during the day with this cutie pie in the house!

 Owen's new friend is the ceiling fan in the living room. Makes for at least a good five minutes of sitting happily.

Well, I have a doozy of a Blake-ism for ya'll this time...

      We are sitting at the breakfast table eating our (almost) daily oatmeal and Blake says, "When I get bigger I'll be a daddy like our daddy... (how nice, I think to myself) ...and you will be the mommy." (oh boy, how do I explain this one) Blake-"Will daddy go to another house that he wants to?" Me- "You think Daddy should go to another house and I should stay and be the mommy?" Blake- "Yes" Me-"Well, you have to marry your own mommy so that I can stay with our daddy." Blake- "Well, I just want to keep the mommy that we usually have." Me- "You have to marry someone else to be the mommy with you. So who do you want to marry?" Blake points to me. :) Sweet boy.

      Same day, Seth tells me, "You need to cut your hair so you will be a man". Lol, I don't know where these things come from! It's not like we sit around and talk about it. These thoughts just pop out of their mouth between bites of oatmeal, honest!


In other news, Micah and I will be celebrating our FIVE YEAR wedding anniversary next Friday! Can you believe it? Does that make me a real grown up now? We are planning a little trip to Charleston that weekend. Should be a lot of fun! Neither of us have been there before and we hear it's beautiful. 

Hope you all are doing well! 

Love, 

Kari, Micah, Blake, Seth & Owen
