3 Years

Where did the last 3 years go? I am in complete disbelief that we have a 3 year old living in our house. I feel like it may be similar to an out of body experience...lol! Nico, you are an amazing boy that fills our lives with love and joy! The other night I was laying on Nico's floor while he was falling asleep and I said, "I love you buddy" and his reply to me......"Mom, you r a nice girl." Of course my heart melted and I was crying...so sweet and so wonderful to hear sentences from our little man. He has worked so hard in speech therapy and has come so far! What a year it has been and I am just amazed at the difference between a 2 year old and a 3 year old. Crazy.

Happy Birthday Nico! You make the world a better place! xoxoxoxoxoxo

I asked Nico what he had in his mouth...apparently nothing:)

Lulu loves her hello kitty backpack...it has become part of her

I had a bow in her hair for 1 second

Nico was so proud of his giant playdoh snake!

Spring!

Well hello there. Yes...it's been awhile...I know. Life has been wonderful...crazy..but wonderful! I can't say that I am going to win photographer of the year with these pictures..but at least I posted some:) Nico and Lulu are just the spice of life. Nico is talking now and using sentences, expressive words (mom..I am mad at sissy; mom, are you happy I'm happy) and miss Lulu says exactly what's on her mind! So, there is A LOT of communication in our house! I love to watch the kids talk to each other....they play little games together and most of the time make each other either laugh or cry.

As for me..well I am addicted to Pinterest and have found that all I want to do is cook or do a craft project for the home or the kids! I stay up late at night on my phone browsing boards and make a list of things I want to do the next day that never seem to get done! Whew!

My cousin recently left for Russia to play professional women's soccer. I am so proud of her and wonder what it must feel like to be so courageous to follow your passion and your dreams...even when they take you across the world! She is so worldly and completely amazing. I miss her.

If you should have any fire safety questions..Nico is a great resource and would be happy to answer any of them. Thanks to all of the fire truck books, our trip to my cousins firehouse, Elmo's fire safety movie...papa showing Nico his badge and all of his fire fighter collections...well..he is available most days before and after nap:)

Life is beautiful. I thank God everyday for delivering me to the moment I am in. I am grateful for the love and friendships that enrich my life and help make me a better person and mom.
