its 12:30, lunch time, I served up plates of goodness, PB&J string cheese pears(which Lilly insisted were apples, I suppose its close enough) after I was confident they were fine for a moment, I came down here to type , and about 2 minutes later Lilly is standing by my side, looking up at me with those big beuatiful eyes of hers and says "Mama, I gave Logan my apples, cause I love him and I want him to grow REALLY big like me. I am pretty nice huh?" Manipulation, that sweet smile and soft tone of voice, convincing me that its jusssst fine for her to rearrange the meal I had planned for them. Now I would certainly prefer that Lilly eat her own lunch and not pawn it off on her brother , but I am a sucker for that face. So as I am typing this, Lilly is eating 2 cheese sticks and Logan is eating a pile of pears slices...and they are happy.


Christmas was amazing...overwhelming, wonderful, crazy, fun, busy, ...the usual.
sooo heres a few pics from the last couple of weeks....

been so busy...here are some new pics!

Logans 2nd birthday

strange...my baby boy is 2 already...I know everybody says this...'they grow up too fast'...but I'm gonna say it anyways....he had a great time and especially loved his cake...although he didn't eat much...he just REALLLY liked the blowing out candles part...ha.

Halloween Pics

here we go...

this is how dinner went tonight....

Lilly: screaming at the top of her lungs "LOGAN WONT STOP TALKING TO MEEEEEE"

Logan: poking at Lilly with 1 finger saying "HEY...HEY...HEY...HEY"

Me: "STOP IT! just eat your dinner.... no touching no talking"

Lilly: gagging on a green bean

Logan: crying cause I yelled at him

ahhh....

I will put up Haloweenie pics soon!

I should keep up with this more often....

the other day Lilly was taking a nap...she woke up and started telling me about something but it took me a moment to catch on...she said to me.."Mama, I was sleeping and in the story in my sleeping there was a monster chasing Logan but I killed'd him, thats a bad story"...she kept insisting that there was a 'story' in her head and it occurred to me that she was dreaming but did not know the word dream....so I explained to her about dreams ans sleeping best I could, and being the matter of fact kinda kid she is, she looked up at me and said "yes Mama, monsters are only dreams".....

Logan is figuring out how to express himself (without hitting...ha) a little better everyday...we are still doing sign language but he has now put words or sounds with almost every sign he does...he is the sweetest most affectionate child I have ever known...he now does this weird thing where he makes a kissy face but instead of a peck it turns a full on make out mushy long movie star kiss ....ha
