sneak preview- family of FIVE!

I'm sure most moms can relate to the fact that it's rare that we get photos with our kids... I know I'm personally almost always the one taking the photos at home, during holidays and at family get togethers and so it's rare to actually be captured in those moments. Now being a family of FIVE!, I wanted to be sure to capture life, all together, at this stage I love so much with our babies. Here's a sneak peek from a family shoot from this weekend with the incredible photographer Anne Gregoire...

life lately.

Life lately has been... well, hard. A friend asked me the other day what transition was hardest- 0 to 1 kid, 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 and I had to think about it. The thing is, the kids aren't the hard part for me- they're actually the part that makes it all worth it. It's the 3 young kids + 2 full-time careers + 2 long commutes + so many projects yet to do on this house. All of it together- that's what makes it so hard. Most days I feel like I can do this and not only do it, but do it really well. But there are days (and sometimes weeks in this case) when it feels like way too much. When Dan and I are both burnt out, feeling down about it and not sure what to do. Those weeks lead to a lot of self doubt and searching for answers. Hopefully this weekend will bring a lot of rest and fun and at least a few answers.
