It is crazy to think that Leland will be two in just a couple of weeks. The past two years have really flown by, even though some days were long. I have grown a lot the past two years….grown up a lot too. I have heard having a kid will make that happen you know ;) The little things that used to bother me or get under my skin don’t bother me so much anymore. I’ve learned (and am still learning) to see beauty in the ordinary and mundane. In making countless toddler sized meals, listening to the Wiggles on repeat, and listening to conversations of mainly gibberish. I’ve learned to not have as high of expectations and to loosen up a little bit. This time we have before his little brother or sister comes, I’m taking to heart. Enjoying this time and spending the days with my favorite little guy…

“The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.”

Jay took these pictures of us this weekend…Leland was mainly preoccupied with the apples & putting them in the basket :)
