The whole family together again in England!
Despite pink eye, colds, and two bouts of the flu and a crazy pregnant lady (gee...who could that be?) we had a great time!!! REALLY, Mom and Dad...we DID...no sarcasm it was so wonderful to be with everybody again!
The boys playing in Grandma's kitchen...that step stool was probably the hottest toy while we were there, even with a living room full of new toys...isn't it ironic??
Just HAD to put this one in for my dear Daddy, he put together a great vacation for us, including the gold crowns!

~Have a Lovely, Blessed Day!~

A milestone in Mommyhood

Here's Michael at Billie and Larry's house...what a handsome boy!

Look at those handsome men...and they're all mine....he he!


MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY:

It gets pretty crazy here at our house, and I have to say this job I call full-time motherhood is pretty darn difficult at times...but there are those moments that just make you melt and realize what a wonderful "job" you actually have. This morning I had my two babies in bed with me about 6:30 am. I was nursing Michael on one side and had Gabe on the other side. I felt a soft, chubby hand on my arm...Gabe started rubbing my arm and said "lub you mommy" (translated...love you mom) AWWWWWWW, I will never ever forget that! As tough as it is at times, I would not trade what I do for ANYTHING! Here are just a couple more pictures for you....
Make the most of every moment you have, because the next moment could be your last....I tell my kids and husband I love them probably a dozen or more times a day! Have you ever thought about the phrase, "live like you were dying?" how about giving it a try? Don't you think alot would change? Jesus could come back tommorow or in 100 years, you never know....
Sorry, just something I've been reading about and its really affected me! God Bless....

It's about time for an update, huh?!

Why is Gabe naked in half these pictures you ask? I don't really know....I guess we seem to snap pictures in between diaper changes...we don't really let our kids run around naked....at least not ALL the time :) he he



When we ask Gabe to smile for a picture this is what he does!!
And here's Michael wrapped up in his favorite "blanket"...mommy's silky nightgown...I'm hoping to get that back soon!

Here are some old pictures of Gabe's 2nd birthday that I never got up...he loved his cake and felt no need for utensils or hands!

This is our lovely new kitty, Tilly...she is so cute and playful and the boys love her!
