7QT- There can never be too many pictures of baby...

Just a fast (that's the point, right?) quicktakes post for Friday.  

1. Tough

This week has been that.  Lots of ups and downs emotionally for this mama.  Everything in life was just tough for me to handle this week.  Nothing was even all that hard or big or crazy in the grand scheme of things.  I was just an emotional hot mess about so many things.  

2. Rings

Probably the most stressful was losing my wedding rings.  Elise and Ava swiped them from my ring case and were playing with them (unbeknownst to me).  Later when we were leaving for a little evening hike, I noticed they were missing.  So out came my crazy/scared/worried.  And out come some of Chris' as well.  It wasn't a very pleasant evening as we worried and freaked out and looked EVERYWHERE for them.  They were found this morning (thanks, St. Anthony) hanging on these little hook things on our crib.....

But the whole week was not just me being emotional.  At least not in the negative sense.  I also had some emotional highs especially as I watched scenes like this....

3. Daddy and Kolbe

and this....

4. Kayla and Kolbe

 

and this....

5. Reading Corner

Is this not the sweetest?  I didn't set this up.  It started with Kayla and Kolbe and the others soon joined and it was too adorable.  

and of course, I spent some quality time with Kolbe too....

6. Mommy and Kolbe

 

and there's always a sunset to share....

7. Sunset

(all sunset pictures on this post taken by Chris)

How was your week?  I'm hoping you found the bright spots even if it was a tough week over at your place as well.  God bless!
