Happy 4th Birthday to The Boy of My Dreams!

Dear Lucian,
You are the little boy of my dreams. I'm so blessed and lucky to be your Mommy. My life is so much better and I'm a happier, stronger, and more patient person since you were born. When I found out you were growing inside me, it was a dream come true. It wasn't easy getting you here. Feeding you and caring for you was a tough challenge, but I learned a lot from you even though you are a small child.

Your Daddy and I love you so much, we made another little boy to share with you. You are the one that made us a family. I thank God each day for you, my special gift.

Happy 4th Birthday!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy & Keagan

My Funny Valentines

I was just looking through my iPhoto library and showing my Dad some photos of the kids. I snapped this one of Keagan just a few weeks ago so he is around 6 months old.

The photo below it is of Lucian when he is about 5 months old.

We make some goofy kids.
Above is Keagan's "Make my day, Punk!" photo.

This is Lucian's "Who farted?!" photo.
See the resemblance?

Maker of Things You Can Only Imagine

Who needs real toys? I mean seriously. Wish I'd known we could have more fun with cardboard diaper boxes, card stock, masking tape and a lazy susan. Countless parents have warned me about this, so now I'm warning you.

Don't buy toys. (or, in our case, accept hand-me-downs for free)

Make them.

The less realistic, the better.

I give you Exhibit A

Remember when I made this for Lucian?

He lost interest in it after a while, so I was about to put it into recycling when he discovered something new he could do with it. It's no longer a stove. Now it's a spaceship. Oh, and he also now has a co-pilot!

Exhibit B

Enjoy your kids.
