Two plus One equals FUN!!!

Maggie and James are officially 25 months (2years plus 1 month) and they are SO MUCH FUN!!! They are into everything (which I love...to an extent), they love to talk (and they are so funny), they perform (Maggie loves to sing the Happy Birthday song), they are clumsy, EXTREMELY loving, and SIMPLY THE BEST (but I could be a bit biased).

2 year measurements:

Maggie: 35" and 29lbs

James: 35.5" and 28.4lbs

James fell on Friday...bonked his noggin and scraped his face.  He was not a happy camper when it happened, but we have been keeping it clean and doctoring it after bath, so hopefully no scarring. He is a tough little man, he only cried a few minutes and even let our Neighbor (a Pediatric Nurse) check him out. 

If you remember from their birthday preparation, we decided as an in lieu for gifts, we were accepting donations for a local Library.  This was a HUGE success!! We were able to donate 50+ books to the children's area of a local library. James and Maggie were so great, they were showing the director all of the books we brought and were very comfortable leaving them and not looking back.

Such an amazing gift to give to others...

where were you?...

To anyone reading,

I had just started a new job and oddly my computer was the only one in our office able to get live streaming video. It was erie...I never understood who could have so much hate. Then the more I listened the more I realized I lived in a bubble. I never watched the news (still don't), I rarely listen to the radio (probably less now), and I always assumed that if something bad were to happen, someone would clue me in (still feel this way).  That DAY...that DAY will always be alive in my heart and eyes, because I cried like I have never cried before-I cried for people who were missing, who were hurt, who had died, who had lost someone, for the kids without parents, for the parents without kids, for the someone missing their other one... That DAY will always be a sad day because someone hated so much...

one day, CHRIST will reign and we will never experience hate like that again!

Thank you to all of our soldiers fighting...Thank you to the families who have lost for my freedom, I appreciate your sacrifice, it does not go unnoticed!!

Much Love,
