The kids being funny again.

The sandbox flooded this year: proof that it does rain here.

My amazing husband....

I have the most amazing husband in the whole world. Sorry to the other married ladies out there, but it's true.
A typical day for him:
He rises at four a.m., goes to work by five, trains client after client for seven hours, picks up Gabe from preschool at noon, comes home and puts Gabe down for a nap, plays with Claire, does the dishes, does the laundry, goes back to work at two p.m., works out, trains more clients til five p.m., comes home, plays with kids, helps with dinner, cleans up dinner, bathes, reads, prays, and sings to Gabe for bedtime, fixes everything in the house including my recent flat tire, and he then makes time to sit and talk with me.
And in between all of that, he mops the floor, cleans the bathrooms, and rubs my back.
I am the most fortunate wife on Earth.
I don't know how he does it all, but I feel truly blessed to be married to such a wonderful husband of almost nine years. He is the best dad I know and he is always striving to be better. I just had to brag about him. How could I not?

Sippin' and eatn' blueberries

I'm a little monster

Claire loves her new monster face. What a riot?!!

Aren't I cute?

I was taking tons of photos of Claire, trying to get the perfect smile, when Gabe said, "Hey mom, look at me. I'm cute".

Awe...sleep.

Claire's our great little sleeper. Wish she could teach her brother. She loves to sleep with at least two blankets. Most often, we find her with one of them over her head.

The Greatest Story Ever....!

Yesterday, I was reading to Gabe, 3, in his Bible. He wanted to read about Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. He was so into it. Couldn't put it down. At the end he said, "Mom, that was the greatest story ever! Let's read it again". It is the greatest story indeed. Even a 3-year-old knows that!
