<3 Happy Valentines Day kiddos <3 I know, it's been a very long time since I've updated, but I've been a little busy birthing a baby and then not sleeping for the past 18 months. Marco, you've been such a great help, I don't know how I'd get dinner made, get through the grocery store, keep my sanity without you. You are an amazing big brother, caring, and protective, a little rough at times, but that runs in the family I guess. I love you so much! Happy Valentines Day! Evie, you have brought so much joy to all our lives. You are such a goofy little comedian just like your brother. I love watching you grow into a little person every day. I love you so much! Love, Mom

Lots of changes..

Well Stinky, kindergarten is over tomorrow and you are pretty sad about it. You've been impressing your teachers all year long. Your reading is excellent and science is still your favorite subject. You are really going to miss your teachers though and have been having a hard time dealing with that.

You are so excited to be getting a baby sister, you are already an awsome big brother, practicing reading extra hard so that you can read to your little sister when she gets here. I love you with all my heart xoxoxo
Mommy

Today you're 6

Dear Marco,
You are six years old today! I can't believe how time flies, you are such a big boy now. You've had about enough of me updating you on where we were at this time 6 years ago today "yeah mom, I know, blah blah blah" but six years ago today you changed my life. You gave me a reason, for everything, a reason to do better, a reason to be better. I love you with all my heart and soul.
Love,
Mommy

Spring Flowers

"You know the trees with the white flowers all over them, there are ballerina's buried under those trees, thats why they have such pretty white flowers, whenever a ballerina dies and is buried one of those trees grows where she was buried."

Kinda morbid but a nice idea.

Happy Anniversary to us!

Well Stinkaroni, today you are 5. Five years ago today was the scariest, most wonderful day of my life. The past five years have been...exciting, terrifying, joyful, amazing, hard, and I wouldn't change a single thing about them. You have taught me many things in the past 5 years, but I think the most important thing you've taught me is to enjoy every moment, to love with all my heart, and to appreciate life. Before you were born I rushed through life, always waiting for whatever was next, and than you came and now suddenly I can't keep up. Time is zooming by and dragging me along with it, and no matter how I try to dig my heels into the sand and remain in this part of our lives, keep you a baby, my baby forever, I can't stop it. So I just savor it. I love you, with every ounce of my being. Thank you for the past five years, thank you for being my little froggy, comedian, my time traveler, my space man, my super spy, my firefighter, my love.

<3 Happy Anniversary to Us <3

Family Visits..

Today was the first day you ever cried because someone was leaving.. and it broke my heart.

Walmart..

We went to walmart today to get some stuff for our beach trip tomorrow, and usually there are homeless guys outside of the walmart, sometimes we get them some lunch while we are there. So when we got there you said, "where are the humans that wait for their lunch?" And so I explained that they weren't necessarily waiting for lunch but maybe just some money or some food..and before I finished you said "or for a hug" I kind of wanted to cry. You are a very considerate little boy and I love you.
