{ week twenty two : 22/52 }

kaia + kendi: while there are nights that you both drift off in your own beds, on the nights when it is just the three of us while our daddy is off at work we snuggle one another until our eyes get heavy and we drift off to a deep calm sleep. it is one of my most favorite things ever and something that i will cherish always. dream the sweetest and biggest dreams my little loves.

cold snap

a bad cold hit our house. first it was kaia and now it's kendi's turn. it has been a long and very exhausting week, not going to lie. with lots of snuggles and, what seems, nursing around the clock. this little one, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be on the mend just quite yet. but oh dear, do i hope she is feeling better soon. for both her and i. it is so hard to see them not feeling well. and while i enjoy the extra cuddles, it certainly can be hard. and challenging. and exhausting. but when all else fails, playing parachute with the sheets is always a big hit and never disappoints for a smile or two. 

hope you feel better real soon sweet kendi rayne.
