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:

wearing the dress i wore on MY first christmas...or maybe my second...anyway: 

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.

baby wearing:

i heart self timers, as they provide the only pictures of me and my babies:

like i said, no mirrors and no makeup...forgive me:

new years eve bonfire {we went to sleep before 10pm}:

happy one month littlest 

you, too, deserve a post all of your own.

it is coming, i promise :)

hopefully see you sooner than later!
