christmas vacation or one month of jacob preston

there is so much to say and no real time to say it :)
one day i just know i will figure out how to do this blogging thing again, not bc its all that important in comparison to other daily duties, BUT because i do really love it and bc, when done regularly i.e. NOT how its been done recently, it provides stress relief and outlet of quasi-creativity.

so, here is a recap of our past month, many pictures and few words:

after christmas eve at my parents house, then christmas morning and christmas day at our house with stephens family, we journeyed to the "camp" for new years.  we were there for five fabulous days.  five days of no mirrors or makeup {literally...i did not look in a mirror until i got in the car to go home}.
i am planning on devoting a completely separate post on the camp...posted about HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.  the job is complete and we are now just filling in the gaps with lamps, furniture, and...yea...bathroom mirrors :)

stephen and i have already discussed moving up there permanently and him just buying a smart car for the commute.  ;) seriously it is extremely hard to leave this place. 

somebody turned FOUR while we were there:

this is what happens when i try to take "newborn pictures." 
as in it does NOT happen.  all three of my children just choose to cry instead of squish into anne geddes positions and peacefully doze.

  9. Maybe it's my pregnancy hormones...or maybe it's because this post was so incredibly amazing, but I am in tears! Your pictures say a MILLION words. Your family looks like you all have so much JOY in your hearts. I love the picture with the 3 siblings all dressed alike, and only Bennett has a big old smile! That is amazing. My daughter will have a sibling this summer and I am so incredibly excited! You are supermom. xo
