Guests!

Sometimes back in May, right after mother's day, we had some guests from Tennessee: Sarah and her lovely daughter Kate. I haven't blogged for a while and I am just starting to update all the recent happenings. It's hard to get organized with two kids :) Today i got up at 5:20am and decided to play with some pictures and update my blog (and i intend to do so from now on :) So here are just a few pictures from Sarah's visit (we took photos of each other's with kids and then edited them ourselves. Too bad i accidentally deleted all the pictures Sarah took of us...man it was early in the morning :)

Me and my beautiful kids. Ahhhh :)

Boat time!

One of the first weekends on the boat this year. We have upgraded our boat to Sundancer 280 in January and we intend to spend every weekend enjoying it! So last weekend we invited our friends Ania, Jason and Iza to spend a day with us on the lake. We had a terrific time! Noah just loves Iza to death and he feels very comfortable playing with her. The kids just played in the water (although the lake was still very chilly)run around and then we all went and got a dinner at Sunset Cove. What a fun day!

That's my boy!!! LOL

Strawberries...

For mother's day, I decided to do something special with Noah so we joined Ania and Iza for strawberry picking! (Noah is in love with Iza, who is 4 years old and he claims that she is his best friend...her and Sara both). Iza and Noah make a good combo since their energy level is similar so they almost always end up having a good time together, just running around or jumping on couches for example :) Anyways, strawberries was such a great idea! I don't remember last time i ate so many strawberries :)It was pure fun and both kids LOVED it. It was hot but we still managed to stay there for several hours, eating strawberries, chatting and just having blast with the kids! After all, we stopped by a huge field of flowers and just let the kids be KIDS. They held hands, run around, picked flowers and got to be really wild :) Oh Noah was so sweet. He kept bringing me flowers saying "happy day mommy" sooo adorable. These are the moments I live for :) Thank you Noah to be such an amazing son. I am beyond blessed to have such wonderful children!

Sooo yummy!












Leah at home the same day :) I made her this pretty head band with fresh flowers I picked up on a flower field. LOVE all these pictures.

Happy Mother's Day!

I am not a perfect home-making, cookie-baking mother.
I don't like cooking and i certainly don't like cleaning.
I'm not the type of mom who plans the kids activities and stays on schedule.
I've never done too well at mothers meetings or play-dates.
Elegant clothes and high hills make me nervous.

I am, however, a mom who plays chasey through the house and catches butterflies in the garden.
One who lets her kids jump on beds and roll in mud.
And then, when they are all cleaned up, lets them do it all over again.
A mom who lies in bed with children every night to read stories and hear their hopes.
A mom who still gets up in the middle of the night to make sure all is okay.
A mom who encourages free thinking and wild dreaming and self-believing.
A grateful, hopeful, flawed mom with endless supply of silly laughs, dances and smothering cuddles.
One who loves you more than anything else in this world.

Happy Mother's Day.

14 weeks old Leah

We had a very nice weekend. On Sunday, me and Leah went to a yoga class together and Noah and daddy stayed on a boat for a day. It was a very restful day for me (since Leah is super easy now...how lucky am I?) so we just chilled outside, took some pictures and just ended up having a great day together. Leah is so sweet :) She just wakes up, eats, sits on a swing for a while and goes back to sleep :) She is such a happy little girl, who smiles every time she sees me :) I love her to death... She is just pure sweetness! We all should learn from kids how to just stay in a moment and simply be happy:) I am on a quest! Here are some photos from the session:

My beautiful daughter Leah :)

Sweet Life!

"Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here".

Having a girl is still completely surreal to me. I love having a boy but i think every woman deep down dreams about having a daughter. I have been dreaming of you all my life sweet Leah, long before you were conceived I bough a wicker tea set for you so we can have tea parties some day :) Somehow i knew you will be coming into my world and I am so happy you are here. I love all the pink and i love all the blue (these are actually my two favorite colors). I feel very blessed because I have the best of both worlds. I now have a beautiful baby boy and baby girl. I am fulfilled. I love you two so much it hurts but my heart is bursting with joy when i think of beautiful future that lies ahead of us where we play together, laugh together and dream together.






Leah is 13 weeks old and Noah is 2 and a half.

13 weeks old baby Leah

My baby girl is 13 weeks old! She is the sweetest little thing EVER! I couldn't dream of a better baby than you Leah! Sure the nights are still not perfect but in the great scheme of things, I'm very lucky the way things are. I have to say that Noah was much higher maintenance than Leah :) He hasn't slept through the night until he was 9 months old and had to be entertained and held ALL day long. Leah seems to be a bit calmer and she sleeps a great deal during the day. She usually takes two 3 hour naps daily (Noah used to take two 20 minute naps)and wakes up twice at night. Not bad huh? Anyways, I am very content these days and just having a blast with both kids!
