My Little Artist

In church a couple of weeks ago we had the 2's & 3's draw what they would want to find in heaven. During the lesson we talked about what a wonderful, happy, fun place heaven is and this is what Liliana drew: Family... check out what looks like a mom with her baby! Awe!

Below is "Super-Bird", Liliana created and named him.

She told me this is a sad guy. Check out his eyebrows, checks and chin!
Here is a caterpillar:

As I have said before, an artist has no limits, life is their palate and yogurt is their paint! Check out his ears, checks, chin and arms!

So fun!!!

Noah Napping

Look at that red hair! :o) The outlines of the dinosaurs and their eyes on these pajamas glow in the dark. Liliana kept wanting to "see the lights", so she would bring him into the dark bathroom downstairs and shut him in there with her. He did not like this! :o) So sweet!

Noah Talk

Ball - I was wearing pj's with reindeer on them and one has a tiny little real bell sewn onto it... that is where Noah learned the word ball... later in the day we brought home from church their big blue ball and he learned more of the word "ball"! :o) He is such a big talker.

Our First Day at the Park 2009!

We love being outside, so we have been sitting on the edge of our seats, so to speak, waiting for the moment we could get to the park! Well, we were out running errands and realized how nice it was out, so we drove over to the park and saw that most of the snow and ice had melted and got out of the van and had a BLAST!!! The fresh air is the best! The kids went to bed at 7 pm that night!

A Grass Snowman

This morning before church Liliana found her snowsuit in her bottom drawer and was putting it on: she kept saying she wanted to wear it and show it to her teachers. Here is how the conversation went:

Me: "honey, I don't want you to wear that to church, go ahead and take it off and you can put it back on when we get home"

Liliana: "and we can go outside and build a snowman!"

Me: "the snow is all gone"

Liliana: "that's okay, we can build a grass snowman!"

A Grass Snowman. So innocent, sweet and sincere! I love it!

A Mommy Confession

I love my baby's feet!

My baby's feet have always been my favorite - with Liliana and Noah! I am cracking up thinking that other people will read this, but who cares - this is too priceless... I love to smell my baby's feet - yes - completely yucky and sweet all at the same time! Just tonight Noah had his foot right on my nose as I was getting him ready for bed and I was just loving it! :o) I don't smell Liliana's anymore... after they turn 2, it is just not the same! Ha!

Valentine's Day!

Donnie had to work all day today so we went out last night and had a wonderful time!

Today it was just me and the kids. We had a sweet day together. Two of the highlights were:

Liliana was laying on me and I said "you're my girl". I have said that to her since she was born. Well today she said "no, I'm Daddy's girl"... Well! :o)

Noah gave me about 100 kisses today - he is the sweetest. He kisses me right on the lips! He has recently learned to kiss with his mouth closed. Before he would just open it and plant it on my mouth and hold it there. Too sweet!!! This is something he has always done on his own... for some reason he always aims right for my mouth. :o)
