Them Tengs #partyof5

You blink and it's 2017.

We are a party of 5 now. We're officially a big family unit. I love it.

I'm only almost a year late to blog about this. #progress

This precious 8 lbs, 4 ounces, and 21.5 inches of pure deliciousness and all the chubs I have ever dreamt of arrived on 9.13.17. Jonah C., you are SO loved and treasured.

Caleb Rhys turns 5!

Five. 5. One hand. Half a decade. He's no longer my baaaaby. 5 came way too quickly. And as always, we celebrated a whole month. 

 Sweetest sunrise for our first trip to the beach as a family... to celebrate a very special 5 year old.

If it were up to him, Caleb would rather live in a hotel. I mean, who can blame him. You wake up, come downstairs are an amazing hot sugar-filled breakfast, off to soak in some rays and build sand castles at the beach, go out for dinner, and come back to a clean and fluffy pillow made bed... Sign this momma up!

This trip was particularly different. We had been vacationing as a family of 3 for the past 5 years (kissed sleeping in goodbye). A new itty bitty babe was sure to shook things up...

 

Had the best time with dad doing his favorite thing! 

It was cold but there was one good day of warmth, sun, and wave jumping

And of course, it wouldn't be his birthday if he didn't get something for FREE. Cheers to 5!

And just like that, it's 2015.

Merry and Happy Everything in 205.

There's so much goodness in our little family that I want to start sharing and writing more. There's so much grace and life happening daily that I don't want to miss it. I'm not much of journal writer or blogger for sure but I want to keep some sort of online scrapbook to reflect and relive our days. Here goes...

Happiest 2014!

 Our family of 4.

So thankful for these two. Thankful that they have each other. Thankful that Caleb is Titus's older brother, and Titus is Caleb's younger brother. Thankful that my husband is the example they get to follow.

And, this is the newest face that has my heart exploding in a million pieces every minute of the day. Titus Navarre Teng. Oh, the face of God's grace. Isn't he just perfect? YES.

Our family is full and happy and excited and crazy and still adjusting. It's a crazy boat of emotions.

My new goal for 2014 is to simplify and enjoy the moment (and then blog about it later).
I want to take more pictures & write about our every day life.

I hope I can keep this up. 

Amelia Island

 This was our last vacation as a family of 3. I'm so thankful for our "normal" of the last 4.5 years. We can't wait to have baby Titus join our family.

What a beautiful drive through our resort.  

 

 View from lobby.

Having fun at  the pool. It was overcast when we arrived but the sun joined us for a few hours at the pool. Thank God for such a relaxing day with my boys.

 

Enjoying a little S'mores and a bonfire on the beach.

This was the weekend before Caleb starts Pre-K and this trip was the perfect mini getaway to bid adieu to summer.

Just Like Daddy

A friend of mine told me she's glad I'm having another boy because the world needs more men like Christopher.

I agree. 600% of my heart agree. It is something I used to tell him all the time before we had kids.

I seriously married up. ;)

Baby Titus's Shower

 

Titus, you've got a lot of love coming your way. 

I am abundantly blessed to know and have such kindhearted people.
