Sweetest Gifts...

I woke up this morning with a heart full of gratitude for the many blessings in my life.  Two of my biggest blessings come in the form of two small children - I look at them every day and wonder at the sweet gift that each of their individual personalities bring to my life.

Tea for Two!

Miss A has a beautiful soul.  She is sweet and considerate.  She definitely has inherited the Mommy-gene, and she takes care of her baby brother so lovingly!  I love when I walk through the living room and find Mr. B surrounded with toys she has brought him to play with.  Or when I see her bring him a blanket because he is "cold".  Every time he goes down for a nap or it is bed time, Miss A insists on coming in and closing his closet doors, turning on his fan, turning out the light, hugging and kissing him and closing the door.  As we are leaving, she always says, "Goodnight sweet boy! We love you!"



Mr. B. has quite the personality...and he's only 7 months old!  He LOVES to be held and entertained.  He is so social, and he absolutely adores Miss A!  Whenever she is in the room, his eyes follow her everywhere.  He loves to imitate her sounds, and they get into screeching contests regularly.  She is able to get the best belly laughs from him - he is so entertained by her antics.  I have never seen a more ticklish baby!  He is ticklish everywhere and he chuckles when tickled - it is adorable!  Mr. B gets angry if left alone - he is perfectly happy as longs as someone is nearby or if he is being held.  He loves to touch our faces and he gives the best hugs and open-mouthed slobbery kisses.  I can't wait to see more of his little personality develop.

I have decided to adopt a greater attitude of gratitude in 2013...and these are definitely two amazing little people that I am extremely grateful for!

Forever is a long time!

I know...I know, it's been FOREVER!!!  I have been posting most of our updates for the past two years on Face Book, but I really wanted to begin online journaling again.  A lot has happened since my last post...it can be summed up in one photo though...


Yes, that's little Miss A...and her new baby brother, Mr. B!  It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun!  Miss A just turned 3 this month, and Mr. B is now officially 7 months old!  I promise to begin posting more often, especially since my personal journal efforts have also suffered.  Happy New Year - 2013 is going to be AMAZING!
