Dance party!

Ready?  Set?  Dance party!Well, for like, ten seconds it was.And then Sam said, “Freeze!”So they did.  And then they ran off to play something else.  Fun little things!

State House

We played on the State House grounds this afternoon.  I love living in the Capital city!Sam wasn’t feeling it, and Jack tried to cheer him up.It worked, and he came around…with a skeptical smile on his face!The end!

These boys…

Such blessings!!Can’t decide which one I like better!

The Fourth Day of Christmas

We’re in the thick of this Christmas Season and loving every minute.  Tonight I turned off all the lights downstairs except for the Christmas tree and just enjoyed that beautiful glow.  Sam?  He got busted!  Honestly he’s done really great with not touching the ornaments.  He walks up to them and says, “Bouncey ball?  No touch!”I love, love looking at these pictures.  Brings me right back to the moment.  Something about the glow and the silhouettes-maybe all the memories held in those ornaments or those baby cheeks.  Makes my heart so happy.
