The Hillian Collection

I started out a phone conversation with Sean asking him to guess what I had done that made me a good wife. His first response was that I cleaned the house. Uh, no. I had better get on this before he comes home.

1. Snuggling up and watching Downton Abbey together while Sammy got his bearings after a nap.
2. Bundling up for, hopefully, the last cold week of this winter.
3. Yes it's an iPhone mirror pic, but I couldn't resist capturing my little peeping tom.
4. Sweet bathtimes. They both love it. Sammy, please don't pour water on your brother's head.
5. I glued these pieces together this week. I know. I know. Maybe I shouldn't have, but Sammy's able to play much better with it now that it doesn't fall apart at the slightest bit of force.
6. This morning's entertainment during our walk: a loose elastic thread from Sammy's own sock.

But it's time for spring cleaning. The funny thing is that as we were walking out of the house via the kitchen for a walk, I thought it was high time we took these cards off the fridge, and as we're walking back in after the walk was over, Sammy took it upon himself to clear them out. If we weren't moving in a few months, I'd probably save them to cut around the pictures to display (we love having pictures of friends/family around), but I can't imagine they'd survive the move. Here's hoping we get lots of lovely cards next year (hint, hint).

There's nothing particularly interesting in this video, but we wanted to share it because, to us, it's sweet.

1. Our mornings are too fun once Sammy comes in to snuggle in the mornings, especially since Jed's starting to smile quite frequently.
2. "Mama, do these cloth diapers make my butt look big?"-Jed. Yes. Yes dear, they do. He's finally big enough to fit in them but not quite big enough to avoid looking ridiculous with such a fluffy bum.
3. My sweetheart got me Thornebrook Chocolates for Valentine's Day. Sammy was kind enough to allow me one of the four chocolate-covered strawberries from the lot. Looks familiar.
4. I recreated this salad from Trader Joes. I love having something like this handy in the fridge.
5. With a chair pulled up to the sink, I suddenly have a very unhelpful kitchen helper.
6. These two make a sweet duo.
