House Photos- Update!

I've been meaning to post an update with newer pictures of our house for a while now. I've been holding off because at some point of every day our house looks like this:

Also, I look around and see a lot of little unfinished projects and things that we still plan to change. Things take time though and evolve slowly so I know that if I wait for things to be perfect they never will be. I've been sitting on these pictures for about six months but with our 4 year anniversary of buying our home almost here, I'm going to go ahead and post these pictures as a snapshot for how the house looks at this point in time. A couple of the photos are recent and were taken just so that I could finish this post.

Landon's room has already changed a lot since I took these photos. His crib has been converted to a toddler bed, the hamper moved, the changing table and rocking chair gone, and a train table has been added to where the changing table was.

Ethan's wall nightlight is shaped like the moon. Ethan is in love with it. The moon nightlight can be set to different phases of the moon (which also controls the brightness level). 

And this is our house! 1306 sq feet. I know the house (mainly the yard) looks a little different in the way I photograph it for our daily life pictures but that's because when I'm photographing my children I try to photograph it through their eyes and my eyes, and I'm photographing it as a home. I can't believe its already been four years! It's been a happy four years though!

A busy morning at home

Today we've played in boxes, made a mountain out of sand, and counted the legs on a spider. We've chased bubbles, climbed, shared a picnic with some dinosaurs and had pretend sword fights. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a Friday morning.

And two pictures taken on my phone:

Ethan wore his sword on our walk around the neighborhood and had fun slaying shadow monsters. I will be sad when Landon gets too big to enjoy his little under the slide fort!

{Daily Moments} Magic Bubbles

"I'm making magic bubbles and blowing them to all the kids. When the bubbles hit the kids, it makes them happy"

(then later, "Hey...why did the camera see my bubbles as flying octagons?!")
