Lambing 2022

I can't tell you how many times I have watched my girls play with the lambs, and run around the barn and think "This is something that I have been so looking forward to". 

Having my babies together with me while we bottle feed lambs, clean out lambing jugs, feed and water the sheep... spending so much time in the barn, it's just something that I never knew I needed in my life.

To say that we are enjoying this lambing season is a huge understatement. 

Yesterday Megan (my incredible photographer sister) called me up and asked if she could come take pictures of our girls together with the lambs. YES. 

I don't ever want to forget these days, and this was a way of preserving the memories. Phone pictures just aren't enough. I'm so thankful to have such a talented sister!!

Anyway. Here are the pictures.

 

Nevaeh and Christopher's First Birthday Party

Cousins Nevaeh and Christopher were born on the same day, in the same hospital, in adjoining rooms. Though their due dates were two weeks apart, Nevaeh decided to come late so that her and CJ could share the same birthday. 

As a result, of course, a joint first birthday party was in order!

Since both of our babies love the outdoors and animals, Jessica (CJ's mom, also my sweet sister-in-law) and myself decided that we would throw an outdoor barnyard birthday party.

We had a petting zoo, hayride, pony rides, bonfire/hotdog roast, and twin smash cakes.

The weather was a bit cooler, but we weren't going to let that ruin our fun! We all bundled up, and at times huddles around the bonfire. It was cozy!

It's crazy that our babies are already over a year old! Where does the time go?!

It seems like yesterday that Jessica and I were swapping babies and texting each other in the middle of the night when both of our babies were awake.

Now here we are.

Chloe, Jessica's sister, was kind enough to take pictures for us, and she gave me permission to post them here. So I'll leave you with them!
