Fun Day:)

Today was a fun Monday! I am so blessed...amazing friends and amazing family - I have no right to complain about anything. Krista Hutton is one of my most dear and favorite friends who always makes time for me - and this morning we got to take our boys to Botanica and enjoy the beautiful gardens! Her grandma had given her 2 free passes and she sweetly thought of me to enjoy them with her. I hadn't been to Botanica in years, it really is a beautiful place. God's creation never ceases to amaze me. I was a little worried about Malachi because he still hadn't napped when we met at the gardens at 11am (very rare for him) but true to form he was still sweet and enjoyable:) We had a picnic in the middle of the gardens and enjoyed a less humidity-filled day. My favorite part was playing in the fountain with Malachi - I'd lay him on his stomach on the stone and he would splash his hands in the water as hard as he could and laugh at the cold water hitting him in the face:) (pictures to come). He makes my heart smile:)

After the gardens I went to mom's to see her and ginger and my beautiful niece. Malachi finally fell asleep on the way there so I laid him in the crib once I got to her house - he only slept 30 min! Crazy little man. My mom and sis went to Avery's 4 month check up and I ran some errands until they got back home then we hung out for a little bit. Malachi finally fell asleep on the way home from Grandma's and slept for a good while - and once daddy got home he slept on his chest for awhile longer...one of my favorite sights:) It was a good day, a blessed day. I'm so thankful for my healthy baby boy and my husband who is the love of my life and the most amazing father I could ever dream of. I have a family that is close and shares a love that is rooted in Jesus....I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you Lord for blessing me so richly, I'm undeserving.

Okay I'm trying to ease myself back into blogging, or really I'm trying to get into the habit of blogging period. I have lots of pictures and videos I need to get on here, but that will have to happen another night. Right now I'm going to go help my hubby give our adorable little boy a bath, and laugh when his splashing is enough for me to consider the kitchen floor mopped:) Good times....

I really am honestly so super jealous of you getting to share so much of everyday life with family. Maybe I can just join yours =)

Sounds like a great day, I love those!
