sweet moments

some sweet moments today
{and, as always...some not so sweet ones...but i'm choosing to dwell on the sweet ones}


rebekah and joshua presenting me with a sign and money:
"adoption money for mom and dad!"


not so sweet...but completely random:
i have broken out on my face as if i'm a 13 year old for the last week.
what the heck?!?

ok...back to sweetness...

the candy. yes, it's so sweet.
but i don't even want to know how many juju hearts i've eaten in the last week...
i'm done.
not buying it anymore.
i remember now why i stopped buying it.
I.HAVE.NO.SELF-CONTROL!!!

more sweetness...
sawyer loves to share his snacks with me.
here's a clip:
{and normally he does it on the first time...but the video in his face and the milk in his other hand messed him up a little bit ;-)}



next we have more 18-month old cuteness...
running at you!
{come on...you love that demarcus ware jersey hanging on my bedroom wall, don't you??}


after the kids' baths tonight, bailey put on her princess dress, crown and high heel shoes instead of her pj's.
i was confused.
we were minutes away from them being in bed...come on!
i asked her what she was doing.
"it's my night, mom."
but daddy's going to be home late tonight, bailey, you aren't going to be able to do your night tonight.
"well, i'm just going to keep it on until right before we go to bed.
just in case."
melt my heart!

and, last but certainly not least...
i always sing "Jesus Loves Me" to Sawyer before i put him in his bed.
he's started singing it before i do recently {in his own way} and it's the cutest thing ever...


ok.
i'm done.

don't i have a sweet life? :-)

i'm thankful that in the hard moments of my day i have these sweet moments.
they are precious.
the kids...and the moments...

{and guess what?!? they are calling for LOTS more snow this weekend! like 2 feet! wow!!! that's crazy for our area!}

The milk and cookie video was too much. I love how he was trying to figure out...should I set the milk down? should I hand her the milk? how do I get this woman a cookie?!?

i mean really, courtney. you are doing such a great job with those kids!

i hope, when kids get older, that these parenting philosophies we are throwing our life into, will reap that kinds of love and compassion for the world.

just beautiful.
well doing.

LOVED the Sawyer videos...can't believe how he is growing up...I mean, is he really singing songs now? That's too big for your baby!
