Sweet moments...

Life is hectic and sometimes you feel that you are just running from one child's dance class to another's sporting event you - not really sure that anything you do is making a difference in their lives.  Then a sweet moment will happen in the midst of all the craziness that just makes you so thankful for the sweet children that we have been blessed with. 

Allie came home from school the other day and told me that she had to write a story about her family. Below is the story...


"I have 1 sister Sabrina (14) anoter sister Grace (3), and finally a brother CJ (1).  Sabrina is smart, Grace is fun and CJ is Great...And I love them!!"

When she was telling me about this assignment this is the what she said:
"Mom when I was starting to write this I asked Mrs. Beavers (her teacher) if I could use the word annoying.  She said that I could but when I started writing I decided that I did not want to use that word because it really wasn't very nice."

I laughed so hard - she is a thoughful, sweet and funny girl!  We love her so much!



CJ

This little guy brings us so much laughter, tears and screaming - he is a heartful of joy, albeit exhausting at times - we don't know what our lives would be without him.
 Enjoy some highlights of his favorite things.

#1  Having lunch with one of his favorite ladies...Gracie!  Most of the time they want to sit like this - it's pretty hilarious!
#2 Playing the Wii with Gracie
#3 Just lounging in his room on his bed
#4 He loves to dance...he is Allie and Gracie's favorite dance partner!
#5 Climbing on anything and everything - his favorite is the kitchen table.
#6 His latest favorite thing is jumping off of stuff.
Is this normal for a 16 month old??
#7 And finally his most favorite thing - Soccer balls, baseballs, volleyballs, kick balls...any ball!  They make him so happy!




And after a long morning playing this is what sometimes happens and even though he can run me ragged - this melts my heart!  I love this boy!
