Motherhood Lately

I only have 29 more mornings of playing with Logan and Emery in our little Berlin apartment. I just wanted to remember today. Window cracked to clear the "diaper air", music playing on Alexa, Logan's little voice announcing each color as he rolled his dice. 

A pan of thankfully not spilled brownies hanging off the counter that include a missing corner from Logan's fingers.

A small tantrum over a Luigi car.  & then a hug and saying "it's all better". 

Asking me to say the lunch prayer, then interrupting my prayer because "Heavenly Father wants to hear from Logan". 

Dipping chicken nuggets in applesauce for lunch. 

Watching only the beginning of The Lion King before his nap because once Simba is old, the movie is boring. 

Singing, I Love to See the Temple after tucking him in with Ooh Ooh Ah Ah, Horsey, and his brown blanket.

All the while, Emery is her smiley, patient self who can't get enough of her big brother. She loves Logan and when she's sitting up, her eyes are constantly on him and what he's doing. 

I love being their mom! I can't believe they're mine. I love that Logan wears his jersey every day and points out Alba Berlin, the basketball, number 3, and number 4. 

I love that he loves his sunglasses, croissants from Rewe, and knows that this is his home.

Justin was out of town and we really needed groceries. Our elevator was broken so no stroller for that trip! Emery went in the carrier and I had our backpack full of groceries after walking to the store together. It was a fun, happy morning.

Another fun outing to get family picture outfits. 

Logan: Look, sunglasses like Logan! Cheese!

Logan: Ran around the store, falling to the ground acting like he was fouled until we helped him up.

<3 This was the first Sunday in two months we were able to go to church as a family. Grateful Justin could snap this picture. I looooove going to church with Justin. 

I love that Logan loves music. Any time I finish playing the piano, he slips onto the chair and begins playing the singing his favorite church songs.

I love that Emery is so sweet, smiley, and our daughter. I love her!!!

I love that this morning, Logan joined me on my walk and I got to talk to him about all of the delivery trucks, Lightning and Sally cars, buses, and birds while we explored a little bit of our neighborhood.

I've loved being their mom here in Berlin. Our routine includes things that will surely change as we move to a new place. This early season of motherhood has been pretty special in Germany. <3
