I am Thankful for...

With this much beauty in my life. I don't think I could be more thankful then I am now.

binky be gone round 2

Yesterday Addy gave up her binky. I think it is for real this time. She has not asked for it at all since she said I am done with it. Last night she gathered all her binky's and put them in a Fairy bucket and left them for the binky fairy to take. In the morning she found a special gift that she had wanted left from the binky fairy for her. She has worn it all day (a "magical golden heart locket") Now she is sleeping with it. At least it is with her. I don't think she is asleep quite yet. I am so proud of her. I am crossing my fingers it lasts!

Wish us luck....

mom and baby

My sister Emily is an AMAZING photographer. Check her out! More photos to come...

Family Photo

My amazing photographer sister Emily is in town right now and this morning she was able to do a quick family photo shoot for us. It was hard but worth it!

Sisters

This is what I found after putting Luke down for his nap today. Addy love her sister so much and I know Claire loves her just the same.

I am so glad that Addy now has a sister. I think Luke is off the hook on all the princess stuff. I know these girls are going to be best of friends!

Tent Time

Static head Addy. Gotta love the dry air in UT.

Yesterday we had some fun playing in the Ikea tent we bought a while back. Addy and Luke were the princess and prince and I was the snow queen fairy. It was a lot of fun...as you can see!

Claire of course slept through all of the fun.

Look at those lips. I love it!

Conversations

Today I was on the phone with my brother Bobby and he was telling me that he was feeling sick. When I got off the phone I told Addy and Luke that Bobby was sick. I asked them:

Me: "What can we do for Bobby because he is feeling sick?"

Addy response: "We can pick him some flowers."

Me: "That is so sweet Addy"

"How about you Luke? What do you want to do for Bobby?"

Luke response:

"Laundry"

Seriously that's what he said!

Poor Claire is still so sick. She has had the worst coughing spells at night. It is so sad watching her struggle to take a breath when her cough is so overwhelming. I just pray that this sickness leaves our house soon and never NEVER comes back!

Ah goo

Today Claire said her first "ah goo" It was so cute! I just had to record the memory. It put a smile on my face during a hard day. I am so glad I have this cute little baby (+ my two others of course) to make me smile.
