My Three Sons

I realized that I have only posted pictures of Brennan asleep in the baby swing. Sleeping babies BEG to have their pictures taken... however, Brennan is even cuter when he's awake. So, I made it a point to get some yesterday while the lighting in the living room was decent. I took pictures of Tristan and Noah in this chair when they were newborns as well. I love them because the chair is SO BIG but the boys are soooo small.

Tristan

Brennan

Noah asks to hold Brennan all the time and Bren really loves him. He stares at him while he talks and has even cracked a few smiles for his big brother. Noah was too young to hold Tristan so this is the first time he's held one of his little brothers. He loves being a big brother!


These make me wish I had this camera my entire life. There is such a big difference in photo quality. I think back on Monterey, Noah's whole life, Tristan's first year, the trip to Germany... and I want to go back and retake all my pictures haha. But, it's ok! I'm lucky to have had a camera at all and I have it now... for SPAIN :) I can't believe we'll be there in 10 days!!

Brennan just begs to be squeezed...he's SOOOOO cute!
I always say that about my cameras too. Back when Alex was a baby I had an old crappy 35MM film camera that blurred all the time. I got a nicer camera by the time I had Caleb, but digital was not invented yet. I would wait on pins and needles for the film to get developed and then be disappointed because so many were not worth the paper they were printed on. Now we can take 100 shots and see them instantly. PROGRESS!

Southwest Vacation - Arizona Part 3, exploring Walnut Canyon and Flagstaff

Image
After the Grand Canyon, we were fine with sticking closer to home.  I had found quite a few interesting stops in the general area, but we all agreed driving more than like 15 minutes was not going to happen.  The closest place was Walnut Canyon National Monument.



An ancient Native American tribe in this area, the Sinagua people, built homes into the rocks at around 1100 to save themselves from all the complications of living near volcanic eruptions (nearby Sunset Crater had a series of eruptions in 1040).  They only stayed in these cliff dwellings for about 4 generations (100 years) and then moved on.  There were little constructed rooms all over the cliffs.  It was fascinating.  And beautiful.  We were happy to be able to interact with the scenery.



Tristan discovered his eye for photography and took tons of pictures with my old phone.  He's got a really great instinct for framing photos and pays attention to foreground/mid-ground/background all at once.  He did it all: from textu…

I'm Writing a Book

Image
I've been writing a book for over 5 years now.  When I first started writing I would only go in spurts of manic typing followed by months of nothing.  Looking back on what I had written was always interesting because I don't remember what I wrote, and I am generally surprised at the insight and elegance of what I typed out.  I find old writings of mine all the time, and some of them I still get so anxious about sharing, but I noticed that comes with a theme of prior personal judgment of self.  One self in particular.  I have no faith in my inner teacher.  I am not the most confident person when it comes to sharing new ideas or my perceptions of situations.  Oh I'm definitely a bold and thoughtful person, but I don't want to discuss my reasons for my choices.  When I do, afterwards I get anxious about how others felt about what I said or how I said it.  I will tell myself I don't have valuable insight, everyone already knows what I know, no one wants to learn what I…

Southwest Vacation - Wrap Up

Image
We're back into our usual routines, looking for the next adventure.  The kids were a little apprehensive about "staying in some stranger's house" beforehand, but are now completely on-board with Airbnb stays.  Everything went so well.  We saved money by cooking and it was much less stressful than our other trips.  I have finally learned what works!  A few of these I just learned.

1. No car rides longer than 6hrs in one day.
2. Plan at least ONE day of absolutely nothing per week for mental and physical recovery.
3. Always bring: snacks from grocery stores (larger portions, smaller prices), collapsible coolers, and empty water bottles.  Freezing water and keeping it in a cooler for road trips saves a ton of money by eliminating gas station stops.  You also get healthier options.
4.Book and pay for every large important thing far in advance so there are no preventable surprises (flights, rental cars, hotels/places to stay) and you actually take the trip.
5. Always have…
