Shortly after breakfast, my big kids often find their way back to the master bedroom. No matter how late we may be running, it's hard to pass up extra snuggles! Daily sink baths are a favorite at our house! Julia was barely four when her baby brother was born. She has taken her job as "big sister" seriously from the start. Her maternal instinct truly amazes me and the baby absolutely adores her. We fill our days at home with many activities to keep the kids busy. This is especially important when unexpected work issues arise. Arts and crafts typically keep everyone entertained long enough for me to respond to an email or take a quick phone call. Nap time has become one of the most treasured periods of our days. While I will often take the opportunity to prepare dinner or tend to other household chores, I've truly come to rely upon this time of peaceful reflection. I've enjoyed taking daily photos of Alexander in this same spot, by the window, and I marvel over his growth month to month. 98 | Holl & Lane, Issue 3
