life of charmings

love, family, happiness

May 8, 2016 in mommyhood· our little fam

coming up on four years of motherhood | happy mother’s day!!

just a teensy little portion of favorite memories, captures, and moments since becoming a mama to my baby bunnies…

[when maddalena was born // one week old on her due date // m’s first time picking blackberries // a mamas’ trip to sea island // m’s second birthday // with our casey boy – photo by montgomery lee // as flower girl & maid of honor – photo by high five for love // one of my fav evenings, 36 weeks pregnant with rocco // when rocco was born, meeting baby brother! // rocco bear, one week old // my precious girl turns three // always my sunshine boy // our family on thanksgiving! //  golden little moments // r’s first time with his toes in the sand // rocco, 9 months old!]

 

oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, but children grow up, as i’ve learned to my sorrow. so quiet down, cobwebs. dust, go to sleep. i’m rocking my baby. babies don’t keep. -song for a fifth child by ruth hulburt hamilton

motherhood!

if there’s anything that i’ve learned in the last almost four years, it’s that there is absolutely nothing more wonderful, humbling, eye-opening, exhausting, miraculous, forceful, terrifying, or worth it. i can’t imagine loving anything more than being a mother to my babies. of course, i’ll never measure up, but i have to say i learned all my finest stuff from the very best of them all. 🙂

i love you, mommy dearest!! i am so blessed to have you every day. and to all our other mama women, we love you so!!!

motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. it is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. it is what god gave you time for. -neil l. anderson

    Beautiful photos! Happy Mother's Day! And I love that quote about the cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow. So true! My mother in law once said, " They won't remember the dust but they'll remember the time you spent with them."
