Tummy Time with Jack

Can you see the resemblance?

PTI...

Pardon the Interruption of video snippets. Since Will's early stages on the blog, I've used an old camera that took photos and video. Now, we only have a photo camera, so I encouraged Jarrod to get a FLIP camera to take videos to post on the blog to keep up with Jack and Will's growth to share with everyone. I spent most of my morning and early afternoon battling with the computer and camera to upload the videos that I've taken of Jack with little success. I've finally decided to just post one on Facebook for now, until I can figure out a way to get the blog to upload them. One good thing will be that Jarrod can make a DVD of the video footage using the FLIP camera, so at least we'll have a hard copy to keep to remember the boys' early years. I watched all of Will's old videos on the blog last night and it made me smile. He was such a cute baby! I really loved the one where he was crawling and moonwalking. He has always made me laugh! Anyway, I apologize for interruption of blog updating and will try to post more since it will primarily be picture posting.

That Familiar Feeling...

...just hit me. I've been here before. It was January 2009 to be exact. Now, this afternoon as I was holding Jack while he was snuggling against me so sweetly, I looked down at him and got a little teary eyed. I realized that I was about to be going back to work and spending less time with this precious little man. There are no words for how much I love him. He has such a sweet spirit and a happy soul. My baby! He never fails to return a big grin when you smile at him. He puts up with my inability to make him go cold turkey on the bottle which confuses him to no end. And, he has to be one of the prettiest babies these eyes have ever seen!This maternity leave seemed to have gone by faster than the first, maybe because life is a little faster paced with Will AND Jack. I love my boys to the moon and back. I'm thankful for those moments like today when I am still enough to take in just how much they fill my heart.

A Day with Davis

I spent the day with my sweet nephew, Davis, today (who Will affectionately refers to as "Daisy.") He is such a loving little fella' and growing up so fast. Mackenzie and I have always had our "Christmas time thing" as watching Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer and drinking hot chocolate together. This year, Davis and I decided that "our thing" would be making Christmas candy. This boy has a MAJOR sweet tooth! So, this is right up his alley. We melted white chocolate and drizzeled it over popcorn, pretzels, marshmellows, and M&Ms. He did a great job helping me prepare it and even better job with the clean up...or at least the licking the spoon part! Here are some pics from our fun day together.

Cutie Pie!

Wow Daisy! That's a big ole' block of chocolate!
