This weekend Tim and I took Jackson up to Squamish for a Day Out With Thomas. We had such a great day. Jackson was so excited. It was wonderful to spend some quality time with our sweet boy.
Jackson said it best. "This was a great day, mama."
6 months ago today sweet Hudson joined our family. I feel like I have known him forever.

Spring is in the air and the boys and I have enjoyed spending our days walking, exploring and playing in our beautiful neighbourhood. Now that the weather is getting nicer I am so motivated to spend time outdoors, and what a backyard we have...Stanley Park!
My dear friend Heidi is on a mission. A mission to fulfill a dream. I want her to win. Please vote for her.
...my sweet boy was born. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. He has become such a lovely little person. Happy birthday, Jackson. Mama loves you.

What a joyous time. My two boys have brought new life into Christmas and I have savoured the day watching Jack's bright eyes and listening to little Hudson's sweet coo's. I head into the new year excited about what's to come and hoping time stands still long enough for me to truly remember what a lucky girl I am.
Hope you have all had an extra special holiday!
Last weekend we had family over to meet Hudson and have a visit. My intention was to order take-out and keep it easy for myself. I LOVE to cook, but these past few months, being pregnant and then having a new baby, I haven't felt like doing anything in the kitchen. I have been feeling guilty about what has made it to the dinner table and thought this evening was perfect to get back in the cooking mood.
I spent the morning making moussaka, which is a big job, but worth the work. It was a meal enjoyed by all!
On another note, Hudson is a month old! Time is already going so quickly.
As Jack tried to settle into an afternoon nap I walked past his room and heard a little rustling. When I went in he was up and just about to grab something off his train table. I asked him to please lay back down and try to have a little rest. We are going to have some friends over tonight and I wanted him to be well rested. I layed down next to him for a little cuddle and he wrapped his arms around me. He moved extra close to me and said, "I am so lucky you love me mama". Tear welled in my eyes and I told him I was the lucky one. Melt my heart!
It has been a very exciting and tiring 2 weeks around here. We have been enjoying our new little guy immensely, but there has also been a few struggles getting used to being a family of 4. I have been emotional about Jackson's transition into a 'big brother', which he has taken very well for the most part. I worry about his sense of identity in our family now that Hudson has arrived. He has had to give up some of our time and half of his room. My patience hasn't been the best at times and I have snapped over things that have normally been easy to deal with. I realize this too shall pass and I am remaining as positive as I can. Hudson has brought more joy and love to our family. Jackson will one day realize how fabulous it is to have a little brother (right now he is thinking it's pretty boring!).
I am savouring every moment with my boys. When we had Jackson we would talk about how we couldn't wait for him to talk to us or be able to walk down the street holding our hands. I have realized how quickly that all comes and this time I am able to be more 'in the moment' with Hudson. I don't wish those things to come as fast. This sweet little guy is only this new for such a short time.
