The Two of Them

Him

Oh my sweet Brian boy.  My first born.  He made me a mommy.  He is so incredibly handsome.  Hi smile can melt me in an instant.   His heart is fierce.  He is brave and he overcomes.  He is tough.  He is compassionate.  He loves to learn, to "read," and to be read to.  He is smart and so very stubborn.  He loves to laugh and to make others laugh.  He loves to sing.  Oh and those big, big galaxy eyes.  He can stare right through you.  He is silly.  He jumps in puddles and loves to be tickled.  He is so, so sensitive and can be very shy.   He is quite creative and loves to "make something."   He is all boy...he loves to run and play.

Her

My sweet baby LuLu.  My baby girl.  She is just so beautiful with her soft red curls and dimples.  She is a precocious little imp.  She is outgoing and happy.  She is funny and she enjoys it.  Her little voice makes me smile.  She is tough.  She loves to cuddle. She loves to be read to just like him.  She loves her babies and all of his toys!  She loves to shop and she loves shoes.  She is my sleeper and my eater.  It's hard to find a food she will not try.  Her big, blue, dazzling eyes and easy smile make me smile.  Just watching her figure things out makes me smile.  She has a whole heck of a lot of attitude and boy is she stubborn.


The Two of Them

Watching the two of them together is absolutely amazing.  I love when they make each other laugh.  I love when he tries to explain things to her.  I love that she wants to be big like him.  I love when they talk to each other.  Especially when they "argue."   She just keeps saying "yeah" to make him mad and he'll shout, "no, Lilah, no!"  too funny.  I love when they read together.  I love when one of them is upset or hurt and they other is concerned and wants to fix it.  I love it when someone captures a picture of the two of them and it's good of them both.  This was what I wanted for Christmas, and I got it!

 Merry Christmas!  I hope yours was as full and blessed as ours.  Now LET IT SNOW!

November

Thought I should post a few random November pictures before the holiday posts begin!  We were lucky to have a pre-Thanksgiving meal at Shawn's aunt Bibber's house early in the month.  Lilah and Gavin and too cute together!

I tried three different times to get a fall picture of the kids by our big tree out back.  It's much harder now that Lilah is so active.  These are a few of the good ones.



 And just some random fall pictures...





We also celebrated my birthday with a national holiday.  Yep, my birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year!  Good food, good friends and good family = great birthday and holiday!
