First, my most favorite & least favorite text messages from the past week:
Exhibit A: Most favorite - A text from John where he uses "Jack language" to say I love you. We just melt every time we hear Jack say "Blah Lala Lou!" I can't believe how quickly he has grown up. When I receive a great text like this from John, I think about how fantastic it is that he can instantly send me a quick note and make me smile during my busy work day.
Exhibit B: Least favorite - A text from John regarding a mysterious rash on Jack's face. NO PICTURE. Statement that ends with a question mark. This is a working mama's worst nightmare. (I'm at the office thinking, "What kind of rash? How big? How red? How itchy? Food allergy? Insect sting? Ahhhhh!!!!")
Okay, and now on to my second favorite part of life with an iPhone. The super cute pictures I always catch without having to carry around a camera! Speaking of cameras, I don't even know where ours is. If I found it, the battery would probably be dead, or missing. So really, without an iPhone, I would have ZERO pictures of my beautiful child...except for the ones that my amazing sister occasionally captures (she has a great camera, keeps it charged, and remembers to pull it out and use it...hence the adjective amazing prior to the word sister.) Anyway, here you go.

| How handsome are my boys? We had such a blast at the pumpkin patch on Sunday, even though we didn't stay for long. |
 |
| Believe it or not, Jack was SUPER EXCITED to see tractors. I mean literally he just kept yelling, "TRACTOR! TRACTOR! TRACTOR!" Unfortunately he just wanted to SEE the tractor. Every time we tried to sit him on for a photo...tears. Big tears. Even when we tried to have him pose with some of his favorite people (his god-sisters Gianna & Clare). Oh well! |
 |
| The four of us! It's so hard to get a good "family" picture even with one kid still in the womb (I mean how hard can it be to make a baby bump look good?) which makes me worry about the day we attempt real family portraits of the four of us someday. Jack was very distracted and was not as eager to smile as usual but at least we captured the moment, right? |
 |
| Love this picture of my beautiful boy checking out the farm animals, especially since I was raised on a farm, so pigs, chickens, and cows were a huge part of my childhood. :) |
 |
| This was Jack's opportunity to pick his pumpkin out. He didn't understand that he got to actually pick one though. He was more interested in just staring at them all! |
“I don't feel like a slave to technology because at this point in my career it is normally just a quick check, and not something that draws me away from my family/friends/more important things!” – No wonder you feel your smartphone is a blessing. I think as long as you know your priorities and maintain personal contact with the people around you, you won’t feel frustrated with your phone. The frustrations come mainly because people expect so much out of their phones.
