Time Lapse at the Pool

Exactly one year ago I was sitting in this very chair with a little secret.  I was growing a baby.  I remember watching Nathan and Kendall play in the pool and wondering what it was going to be like with a baby in the mix.

 I remember feeling so happy and excited and thinking I would love to sit here in the shade watching Nathan and Kendall happily play in the pool while a little baby slept on my chest.

I had  Deja Vu.

 Here I am almost to the day a year later living out that little dream.  I had a pretty rough start after Cardon was born and it made that moment that much sweeter.  I appreciated it deeper and that little dream had somehow increased and enhanced more than I ever thought it could.

The Magic of Ordinary Days...

We have been trying to make the most out of summer over here but I gotta say.... lazy pajama days sprinkled with stories and card cames are winning right now.  

Built in Best Friend

One of my favorite things about our "baby gap" has been to watch these two older brothers interact with Cardon.  These boys are as wimpy as I am and can't handle if he is crying for a second. 

Cardon is almost always in someone's arms and I love it when Nathan sings and rocks the baby to sleep.

Big Brothers are the best.

Big Daddy

He is our constant, our calm, and our rock.  He is a gentle giant with a heart of gold.  He is an amazing dad to our three miracle babies and has exceeded my expectations in every way as a husband. 

He is the glue that keeps our little Hillan family going and he brings more joy than words can describe.  Happy Birthday, Dad!
