Happy Birthday to You!

See what Kindermusik can do for your child?

Darcy is our little singer and with today's Birthday celebration, she decided to put a little twist to the song with some wonderful smiles. For the past week she has been bringing me sticks, leaves, household items and coming up to me saying, "Happy Birthday Mommy." If I ask her how old she is, she says, "A princess cake." If you ask Drew how old he is, he either says a "Bul-Bul(bulldozer) cake" or "green", oh, the funny things our little ones say.

This is priceless and someday when she is a famous singer, this will be played on the clips before her interviews with the late night hosts. ;)

Enjoy!

Tears

Is it really going to happen? Are my babies really going to be two on Wednesday? I am having a very difficult time with this and it must be because they are our last little ones. I am excited for them to grow up, but will really miss this adorable stage. I love how they talk at two, how they move, how they snuggle and it will all be gone before I know it. I am also sad when I am shopping and I no longer get to go to the baby section...they are in 2T now and that is just sad.

I remember those first days with them home all too cleary and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. They were so tiny and fragile and I just wanted them to be bigger, now, I just want them to stop where they are so I can enjoy it a bit longer.

God has been so good to us and Drew and Darcy are healthy and of course super intelligent, just like their brother. ;)

I can still cry though, right?

Love you so much Drew and Darcy and of course Big Brother Ashton!

Yippeee!! Anyone who reads this blog and is in the area...Kindermusik just recently liceenced a new teacher who is out of this world! Her name is Miss Hollie and I have heard rumors that she is a wonderful teacher and has a way with children that they are sure to have fun!

She is wacky, funny, fun loving and just plain silly when it comes to music and enjoying it with children and their families.

Seeing Stars

Tonight while we were walking inside, Darcy looked up at the sky and said, "Mommy, what's that?" Then I realized that my baby girl had never seen real stars before, or at least was not old enough to remember when I would point them out to her. We took a few moments and just looked at them quietly and then we talked about how pretty they were. By now I was almost in tears that my sweet little girl, well, is just so sweet. She constantly makes me smile and is hardly ever upset and if she is, it can be fixed by a hug very quickly.
Tonight she discovered another bit of how beautiful nature is and the beautiful gifts that God leaves us in small and big packages. The stars are amazing and without Darcy, I would have not even noticed them tonight, as I was in hustle and bustle mode, but the innocense of childhood and the magic of newness helped me to stop and enjoy the moment with her.
As we headed inside for bed, she looked up at the stars and said, "Goodnight, pretty stars."

To that, goodnight and God bless.

Funny Things Kids Say

Ashton-

While washing his hair and rubbing his scalp, I mentioned how much I love it when I go to the salon and they massage my scalp.

A-"Mom, do they give you a bath too?"

I asked Ashton what he was going to be when he grows up.

A-"A race-car driver and Drew is going to be my little buddy helper."

Drew and Darcy

Both the twins now say(which Ashton often says)

"Mommy, I need you."

I would write more, but kiddos are waking from naps.

 


Our little Drewby made his first emergency room trip before he made it to TWO! While playing around in Ashton's room, he fell off a stool and got a nasty slice above his lip. Andrew agreed that he needed to go to the ER and have it checked out...we both thought he would need stitches. For Andrew to think that he needed to go, made me even more nervous, he is usually so relaxed. Luckily, the Doctor said it would leave less of a scar if we just let it heal on it's own, so we made it back home at 11:00 PM with a very tired little trouble maker.
While in the ER, Drew jumped from chair-to-chair, jumped up and down on a table and then when we got in the hospital room, he jumped on the bed and played in the curtains. Nothing stops this little man!

Thank goodnes Gma and Gpa met us at the ER to take the other kiddos home to bed. We all woke up VERY tired the next day. The twins even asked to "go to sleep" around noon.
