Don't Ever Grow Up

Today has been an awesome day. One reason is that Lainey and I have recovered from our stomach bug or whatever it was that we had. Not fun. However, it makes me ever so thankful for Brian, and what a help he is. Thirty minutes after I woke up Lainey started and Brian set up with her. Cleaning the mess, and changing her every time she got sick. Oh what a good daddy he is!

The prevalent feeling of the day with the kids, was never grow up. They are just getting to big right before our eyes. Playing together, running around, being independent. My prayer is that we make the most of these days, and that we love and raise them as well as we can.

The weather was beautiful, and sunny, and perfect. We went outside and let the kids play.

Oh sis there is plenty of time to mow the yard, why are you so obsessed with it now?



 Yep that is my 3 year old riding his scooter. He is getting so big. I can't believe it.

Yep that is Ellis driving his sister around by himself. In a few years that might be the real case, and I will need the help of prescription drugs to sleep.

Love you babies, stay that way.

Windy day, no they aren't flying.



Brian was holding Lainey today as she slept. He said "I hope she never gets bigger".

Tickle time, is so much fun when you are little.

Bath time is fun too.

Ellis' masterpiece.

Lainey's masterpiece.




The truth is that we can't keep them from growing up, and when you really think about it you wouldn't want to. It is just hard sometimes when you realize that the time is so short when they laugh at you when you act goofy,  think your kiss makes it better, love painting the bath tub walls, or fit perfectly in your lap.
