portrait of my boys

RollingStone Shoot June 2017 

(haha) In all seriousness, we have that amazing frame wall at the top of our stairs that Mikey put up a few weeks ago that has been in dire need of new photos .. so one by one I snapped a few shots of our boys. I feel like these photos have captured our boys perfectly ... Amos, telling me about volcanoes -- hands behind his back -- contemplative (and looking so big), Solomon, roaring at me ... being his feisty normal self, and Ezra -- showing off his teeth behind sleepy Dino, eyes squinted with his tell-tell Ez smile & wispy blonde hair just beginning to grow. 

martin band of brothers | june 2017

We're thrilled to share that the Martin Band of Brothers is growing by one more little boy come October! Mikey and I are praying prayers of thanks and rejoicing over another healthy baby boy to add to our brood. We love this crazy bunch God has given us to shepherd & grow and can't wait to see what boy no. 4 adds to it. He's going to be super loved and super tough, that's for sure. These little boys are such a treasure and Mikey and I know how blessed we are.

And, I'll be honest. I like being the only girl in my house (: 

the spa at dawson road | 4 bubs in a tub

i know 4 boys who sure did enjoy the spa at dawson road the past few days! bubbles, jets, water so warm their skin turned lobster red ... PLUS daddy in the bath! what more could these boys want? we laughed a bubble covered faces and solly repeating "ho ho ho" and watched the bubbles seep over the side and spill onto the floor and cover just about every other surface within flinging distance (sorry OD & Cat ... let's just say, your bathroom got a good bubble scrub) 

cheers to tubs big enough for all my boys and a quiet moment for mama while daddy took "spa duty"
