So cute I almost don't want to eat them. #almostbutnotquite #ikeafood

This little squish is so loved. ❤️

Dad always knows the coolest tricks. And Declan takes the best pictures. #outforbreakfast

The boys are dressed in coats and hats inside and pretending to be superheroes. "Mom, we got the bad guy. He's downstairs." I feel very safe now. ☺️

I'm so excited about this addition to our homeschool tools. She's been carrying this around and inspecting lettuce leaves, finger prints, and anything else that fits under the lens. #brockmagiscope #ranemschoolhouse

First snowman of the year. ☃️

This guy is enjoying the snow much more this year than last year. And what a perfect snowy day to build a snowman and snow fort! ❄️☃️

We have a 9 month old now! Which means she has four teeth, she's crawling, and everything she finds goes straight into her mouth. ❤️ #astridevangeline

We have a few special guests staying with us for Christmas. 🐥🐟

My boys. I love these two. 💕

I can't handle the adorable rolls on this little babe. 😍

Rosy cheeks from playing in the snow and treats from sweet neighbors. #thingstobethankfulfor #mnchristmas

Getting dinner prepped with my little sidekick. 💕

Oscar says "Astrid, come wrestle with me!"

Homophones and candy my candy cane girl. #ranemschoolhouse #emeryesther

Mmmm. Hot coffee on a freezing cold day. 👌☕️

I love this little squishy girl so much. 💕

We went to see Rudolph at the Stages theater this morning. All of the kids, including Astrid, loved it but Emery was the only one brave enough to get a picture with some of the cast. 😁

Instagram Pic: December 06, 2016 at 02:22PM

So happy to be 3 that he accidentally blew out a candle while giggling. 😆 We sure do love this silly boy. He has such a big personality and brings so much joy to our family! #oscardanielranem

Instagram Pic: December 05, 2016 at 07:17PM

Me and my baking buddy. We made macaroons, peanut blossoms, sugar cookies, and ginger snaps (or ginger pops, as Declan calls them), plus a cake for Oscar's birthday. #nomorebakingplease

Let the Christmas baking begin!

I'm over a week overdue and it's already dark outside, but this girl is growing before my eyes so I need to snap her monthly picture now before I forget and she's suddenly not a baby anymore. 😭 #8monthsold #astridevangeline

Instagram Pic: November 27, 2016 at 02:34PM

Just a little girl and her daddy. ❤️❤️

Instagram Pic: November 24, 2016 at 08:16PM

So many things to be thankful for this year, including our little Astrid and Grandma! ❤️

Instagram Pic: November 17, 2016 at 01:23PM

It's amazing how much easier it is to grocery shop when I only have two of them with AND they are both contained in the cart. 🙌

Instagram Pic: November 16, 2016 at 11:06AM

My girls. ❤️❤️

Sleepiest little pudgy around. 😴 #astridevangeline

Game changer. When your kids are able to wash and load the dishes and clear and wipe off the table by themselves while you actually finish eating a meal. 🎉 #ivearrived #homeschoollife

Instagram Pic: November 09, 2016 at 12:26PM

Today I know this, that I am so thankful to be the mama of these four cuties! ❤️#theranembunch #wildkrattscouchpotatoes

What a gorgeous November day to be at the park!

Instagram Pic: November 07, 2016 at 01:15PM

This girl loves to bounce. 🐰💕

Some days this is what school looks like. Coffee table chaos, Oscar doing a tumbling routine on the couch, and a cranky baby. #homeschoollife #ranemschoolhouse

Instagram Pic: November 02, 2016 at 10:44AM

We finally took some family photos. And everyone is smiling! 😱Just try to ignore Oscar's hand down his pants, there's only so much we can do. 😂

Instagram Pic: October 28, 2016 at 07:39PM

These four little people. 💕💕🎃 #halloween

I can't even handle this cuteness. 💕 #astridevangeline

Painting, painting, painting, painting. Everyday she's painting. 🎨 Which also means extra... laundry, laundry, lots of laundry. Everyday there's so much laundry. 🎶😆

We have officially lived in our house for one year. If you would have told me in September of 2015 that this would be our home in just one month I wouldn't have believed you. I never imagined we'd be here, but I am so thankful for this home and the people I share it with.

Instagram Pic: October 21, 2016 at 02:36PM

One of those extremely rare days where she came out of her room dressed not in a dress, not in leggings, not in a skirt, but in a t-shirt and JEANS! And she even said, "Mom, I love jeans!" What is even happening right now?? 😱

Instagram Pic: October 21, 2016 at 01:36PM

Two little chubby cheeked babies. ❤️❤️

Instagram Pic: October 21, 2016 at 09:44AM

This girl is 7 months old already! Sitting up, scooting around a bit, two teeth in and more coming, and still not a fan of solid food. 💜 #astridevangeline #sevenmonthsold

Oh how I love these crisp fall mornings! #coopday #ranemschoolhouse #mnfall

There may not be many more days left for those little bare toes before they'll need to be covered by layers of socks and thick clunky boots. 🍂🍃🌞 #mnfall #oscardanielranem

The very first moments with Astrid. So new, so squishy, so tiny, so perfect. ❤️ #feelingnostalgic #newborn #waterbirth
