We had a simple, quiet Saturday at home. We hung out, did laundry, vacuumed, cooked a yummy lunch and just enjoyed not having any plans until this evening. I did manage to take a few pictures.
Hudson has a basket of all of these little figurines of animals, dinosaurs, Sesame Street and Disney characters. He carries it around from room to room and plays with them and then we pick them up and put them back in the basket. These are his favorite toys at the moment.
Dumping them out and picking them up again. He loves all these tiny little toys. Fiona doesn’t seem very amused in the background.
She does a really good job tolerating Hudson’s antics. He tries his hardest to torment her, but she stays as patient as possible. She definitely lets him know when he’s gone too far.
This old boy is just the sweetest. He spent most of the day napping. He actually currently smells like he rolled in something dead. Yuck. But he does love our boys, especially Hayes.
I’ve been getting up early to do my quiet time and Bible reading, but today I did it during nap time. I am really enjoying it. I really had no expectations and I know this project is a marathon. I have to stick with it every day of the year. But I really am enjoying it.
And this sweet fella? He is such a joy! He seems to be on the mend after his third round of antibiotics for this ear infection. But he’s just so sweet. We’ve adjusted his feeding schedule a little bit so he has his last meal of solids around 4:30 p.m. He has started babbling more and is started to say “ba ba” for “bottle.” Love watching him grow!
I hope you all had a great Saturday!
I love seeing these. It’s so “real” and the puppies! They’re so sweet!
I love Jesus calling! I’ve never done a devotion that “speaks” to me like this one does! Your boys ate precious! Your boys are precious!!!
I love quiet days @ home w/ the family!! 🙂
Love Hudson’s h/cut & Hayes is so sweet sleeping.
You have a wonderful family & you are so blessed!! 🙂
Love lazy days at home! Especially when there are puppies involved! Mine are usually always in the picture too, but unfortunately they have a knack of facing the wrong direction for most pics!!
Aren’t simple Saturdays the best? Ours was similar and I feel so refreshed!
Kids are too cute!! And Fiona! I want to bring her home with me. Those little animals are still a hit in this household and we are 4 1/2 🙂
love Hudson’s hair cut
Love Saturdays like y’all had yesterday! I am reading Jesus Calling as part of my quiet time each day this year and love it!
Poor little Hayes!! I hope he is feeling even better today!
Amelia has a basket just like that – filled with little things. She dumps it out all day long. 🙂
I’m really enjoying my Bible reading and Jesus is Calling. I feel like I’m learning new things from these Bible stories that I’ve heard all my life! Talk about some drama…Old Testament is filled with it.
Really random, but what help Bible do you have? Our pastor was talking about those the other day, and it looks like you have one (with the map, etc) – just curious b/c she rattled off like 5!
hi! i was wondering if you might share how your use “Jesus Calling” – I bought it, and I too read it in the morning, but I wasn’t sure what to do after I read the passage. Do you refer to the verses for that day? What sort of notes do you take? I hope that this question is not too personal!
i adore your blog and admire you as a woman!
Have you tried garlic oil for your son’s ears? My daughter had 3-4 ear infections over the span of 6 months. Her fourth attempt at (stronger) antibiotics left her with the most horrible yeast diaper rash. She had never even had a regular diaper rash before that. When I noticed she was coming down with another infection, I took her to a new holistic pediatrician who recommended garlic willow oil (found at Whole Foods or Amazon). It worked like a dream. Instant relief. She was nursing and sleeping better that same day.
