Only 3 months

So.... Every day I think oh... I need to update the blog. And then time get ahead of me. The boys are now officially 2 and 4 years old. AJ is starting to show interest in the potty... so we are all excited about that.

We have had a very exciting summer already and its only near the end of June. We took the boys on a long weekend to Luray, Virginia. We rented a cabin there and we had a wonderful time. Hope we will be able to make it back down there this fall.

I will hope to post pictures this week... but here is some to hold you over

Taking a minute to reflex

It's hard to believe that in just a matter of a weeks AJ will be 2 years old... and just 2 months behind him that Avery will be 4. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was feeling Avery in my stomach, and I was in aw, of this little life that God had blessed me with.

Then just 23 months later, God blessed me with a 2nd blessing... (well actually sooner than 23 months) to be pregnant again with another boy AJ. There is nothing to explain the feeling of growing life inside of you.

I sometimes look at the boys now, as they play together, as I pick them up from school... how at one time, I was so connected to them, more connected to them than any person else in this world. To think that God had the faith in me to bring these boys into the world, is just amazing.

So as we enter birthday season for the boys I rejoice at how beautiful they are. How they are growing into these little boys.... and I think Wow...Adam and I must be doing something right... I thank GOD every day for my two little blessings

Boys will be boys

I've resigned myself to the fact that I have 2 boys. Not just any boys but Boys Boys.... Boys, that are drawn to dirt like Chocolate chips are to milk (at least they feel this way.) I've resigned myself to the fact that jeans without holes don't live in my house. That when one of them are standing still, it is the others responsibility to knock them down as quickly as possible. But I've also resigned myself to the fact that my sons LOVE each other. That, they are always worried about the other. That they cannot go to sleep without making sure they have given their brother a hug and kiss goodnight... or to the fact that I can no longer put them to bed at the same time, unless I want to listen to hours of them laughing, jumping and playing in their beds.... until that moment, I hear one say to the other "night night" and silence filles the air.
