Thankful

Tonight Bryan and I are feeling extra thankful for our two happy, happy children.

This week Campbell has decided to get up two or even three times during the night. The second she spots my face looking down over her, she is ear to ear grins- cooing and giggling in delight! The hour doesn't matter... 10:30 at night or 4:30 in the morning... she acts as if she's wide awake, ready to spread some joy and I'm the exact one she wants to play with!  Her squeals even woke Bryan early this morning.  She is full of it!  It's hard to be frustrated with our sweet girl when that's how I find her... even if it is a little too frequently during the nighttime hours!  

Her sweet brother has had me wrapped around his finger from the start.  I have said many times we think he is just a joyful, joyful soul.  It's the small ways he loves me each day that make my heart melt and reaffirm God made him perfectly for me.  His latest is to really, really hug me tight every time I pick him up.  He then forcefully turns my head to the side and slowly, gently plants the sweetest kiss on my cheek!  Sheesh kid!  It doesn't take much for me, but he is such a lover and makes me tear up and burst with pride at his sweet, joyful ways.

Our children are healthy and happy.  Our prayers have truly been answered.  We are thankful.    

One of the cutest things ever!!!

*Update on us and our cutest things ever coming soon!!! : )

The Three Boys

Sam, Luke and Daniel had a great time together while we were in Denver.  I can only imagine the things the three of them will come up with in the years to come. 

Sam in for the excited snuggle as soon as we got there- Luke's suprised but happy to do so

 Just hanging out together

 Meeting of the minds- Daniel's leading the discussion

 Heavy stuff...

 

They're pretty fond of each other : )

Flashback Friday

Sam was 18 months old- not a walker- still had a paci- slid head first from our bed that morning (nice supervising mom! ouch!)- had only a handful of chompers- and was our same sweet spirited smiley boy!!!!!  He looks just a bit different one year later!

Goofing Around

We girls were all smiles as the boys wrestled and played with cars tonight-



Blue Eyed Bathing Beauty

Little Sister and her Big Brother

Blurry pictures and a bumbo meltdown

Today the kiddos were around snuggling on the couch.  I took a few pictures that I like even though they are blurry... I'm working to figure out our camera soon I promise!

 That dimple is still oh so sweet!

 Sam climbs up and snuggles in with Campbell anytime I put her on the couch---

he's pretty sweet to his little sis!

 Happy handsome devil even when blurry

 He's always so expressive with his eyes and eyebrows...

this picture shows one of his many sweet looks

C still in her jams looking back at mom

Sam has been sitting in Campbell's bumbo seat the past few days off and on since she's not in it much yet.  Today he decided he was pretty sad that she was taking a turn.  : (  His mean mom just giggled and captured much of it on camera.  Who looks like the bigger baby to you in these pictures... Sam or Campbell?!  ; )

Once she was done and I took her out, Sam quickly carried the bumbo over to the other side of the room, dried his tears, sat down and went to work with his drill bits--- acting as if he didn't have a care in the world!!  Goofy boy!
