Little Raindrop, the last 2 months with you have been a blur, but also incredible. My Aunt Yvonne told me that after you were born it would be hard to imagine how life ever was without you. She was right. You melt our hearts everyday.

6 am is just too early, but the snuggle bug in the crease of my legs makes it much better.

Rain, your smiles are the sweetest gift.

We took Rio swimming. He absolutely loves getting out of the house. He was soooo excited when we pulled up to the rec center. I wish I could take him to do things like this more often.

One of my very favorite things about living here is getting to see my brother, Jett. I'm in awe watching him as he grows up. His mind reminds me of my own. He truly is one of my dearest friends. It makes my heart happy to see that Rio feels the same way about him.

Back to the chiro. I love love love it when they sleep in the car.

No photo today. 

I'm so tired of sick babies.

Both babies have colds and it makes me feel so sad. After fighting a full week of the flu I was hoping for a while of good health. 

On a better note, we got some much needed fresh air today. Rains snow suit totally cracks me up.

Goodbye Black Widow. I feel so silly feeling sad about a car, but I can't help it. That's the car we hopped into after our wedding, the vehicle that transported me around during treatments, it carried us while in labor and safely delivered our babies home. It has seen 6 moves and traveled to and from Laramie and Denver to Upton countless times. All of our major milestones as the Esquivel family have taken place with that car; it's so unfortunate that we've outgrown it. I know its just redicilous and I'm thinking too hard about it. It is just a car.

Words don't even.

But seriously. These are the cutest little booties ever. Maybe it's not the booties that are so sweet, but the tiny feet that wear them.

Showered and everybody dressed, both babies down for a nap, a load of laundry folded, and a delicious egg sandwich eaten all by 1:00. Success! However, the best part of the day has been nursing Rain while Rio shows his whale how to jump on the tramp.

 Blurry, but still heart melting. Rio made Dylan sit at his table so they could have a pretend dinner. 

I absolutely love seeing his imagination at work and am truly impressed with his pretend play. 

But seriously, look at these two!

Rio sits here, on my nursing stool, while Rain has her nursies. I love it more than anything. Some days the mess of toys and baby accessories drives me absolutely crazy, but when Rio sits here I can't seem to see beyond his little body, making it seem as though that mess doesn't even exist. I've been told these days will soon end, but truthfully, I don't want them to. I thought it was just yesterday he was my little nursling looking up at me with his bright eyes.

Some of my sweetest memories. I'm so happy to have had such a beautiful person be such an influential part of my life. Goodbye is hard.

 A glimpse of sunshine on a rainy day. With a heavy heart, even the tiniest smile takes some weight. I can only think of the joy Grammy feels snuggling her babies and hugging her husband, or my heart starts to ache.
