Melts My Heart

I think they both look like him so much!

The Waffle Window

Our friends were here from out of town and we all spent the day in Portland.  The highlight was getting a little snack from this place called The Waffle Window.  So good!
(By the way, this was my first day long venture out while leaving Jude & Ivy behind. I almost shed a few tears when I left them! But in the end, it was nice to get away for a bit. )

Endorphins and Vitamin D

I have twenty pounds to lose and lots of muscle to tone.  I'm starting off by taking brisk walks through our lovely neighborhood.  I've been three times this week so far! Between the weight of the babies in the stroller and the hills down our road, I'm already feeling a bit sore.
Jude & Ivy enjoy the walks a ton....meaning it knocks them out in seconds.  As soon as I stop walking they usually start crying, which is motivation to keep my walks nice and long.
I am absolutely determined to get back into good shape. Pretty soon we'll be running!

Family Photos

Our friend Nathan and his lovely wife Jenny came over to take some pictures. This was back when Jude and Ivy were about three weeks old (look how tiny Jude is!). We are absolutely in love with the amazing work he did! These are just a few of my favorites.
