Leftovers from breakfast. Yummy porridge, tea, and milk. (I hid ground almonds in there and they didn’t even know!)
A special juice picnic inside.
Augustine is fixing things in the house, and Jane is making sure her baby is well taken care of (note the nappy on her).
A 3:45pm bathtime. Because it was getting too boring up in here, and besides, bath foam is awesome.
Just an hour til Shaun comes home for dinner and saves the day again…. Happy sigh.
UPDATE: I think it would also be fair to note that should this post appear think that our family is super “put together” and fun, then that is slightly ironic. there were lots of non-photographic moments (loads of house chores, jane more edgy recovering from a virus, augustine’s accidents from potty training), so I decided to make the most of it, and create/cherish the fun ones with the camera. I am leaning on grace today and thankful for the moments where we could choose joy! 
love the pictures, joy! they are getting so big and cute! also, congratulations on the newest price. i hope you are feeling well and getting the rest you need (and if not, that the Lord is giving you the grace you need…which i’m sure he is).
thanks Julie! I appreciate your sweet words! I’ve been feeling well since about 9.5 weeks! I’m super tired, but grace is always fresh and I lean on it many times every hour! Hope you are well and enjoying your little one. miss you guys!
These are adorable pictures! I love the hammer in Augustine’s diaper, too cute!
thanks Ashley! Wish your little ones could play with us too!
Loved this glimpse into the happy moments in your day
thanks Tara!
I love your update! It really is a choice isn’t it. It is pretty easy, no matter what the age of your kids, to kind of spiral throughout a day. You have to keep the right perspective on things. It is such a joy to be able to be with our kids though the fun and difficult times. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for the encouragement Rebecca!
