Feels Like Home To Me

We finally got our shipment in a few days ago.

You would think that since we got rid of most our furniture before we left, to start fresh here, that it would be fairly easy.

No. Not close. Who owns this much stuff?

Apparently us.

I had no idea how much clothes we had.

And while unpacking etc. little Amalia, omg.

She's cute, she's sweet, I love her, but she is crawling!

I thought she would perfect sitting before crawling.

That wasn't in her plans though. I put her here, I find her there. I can't leave her anywhere.

And then she wants me to hold her to help her walk... all the time.

As though I want her learning to walk anytime soon, no thank you!

The good news is she's growing so sweetly.

She is a very happy little baby.

And I'm a happy Mummy.

And her crib is here! In her own little quiet room.

And our bed is here!

My body is slowly easing the aches and pains caused by so many nights on an air mattress.

And because Amalia has been crawling every time I put her to sleep I can't leave her because I am afraid she will fall.

So the crib has opened up so much more time in my day.

And what do I do with that time?

COOK!

I got all my spices back!

Definitely back on my A game in the kitchen now.

Feel so at home in there.

So excuse me while I go and get in my "comfort zone" known as the kitchen and whip up something for the family!

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured. Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it. Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet. I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
