Beautiful Babies

Maybe I am biased, but I have beautiful babies. They are both so happy, most of the time, and I thank God everyday for their health. They may not always be the best travelers in the car, the quietest "talkers" or even the sweetest (ky is going through the "mine" stage...ick). But today while cleaning and decorating for fall, love love love fall, Kyle was taking the duster and doing silly things like poking Emma's tummy, or cuddling with it, and making Emma laugh and laugh. My little ham. The other day in the car they were just looking at each other and laughing. Doing NOTHING. Just looking.

I am so blessed with these two, and my days are definitely not boring. Mama Pannabecker, you told me you prayed that you wouldn't have a boring life/family, thanks to you I prayed the same prayer. Sometimes I think, What did I get myself into! But other times I just sit back and watch what the Lord has given to me, that which I don't deserve.

Today I decorated for fall. I cleaned, CLEANED, and did 4 loads of laundry... yes, FOUR. I was feeling pretty proud of myself, until I pulled out the last load from the dryer. I bleached Brandon's favorite khakis. Bleach spots ALL over them... I was horrified! I thought he would for sure kill me. But my hubby, oh so gracious, thanked me for the work I do around the house and raising the children. He is a wonderful man. Needless to say, I think we will be going pant shopping in the near future...

Christmas is coming just around the corner... ya know, a couple months and a few days from now. Just around the corner. I love Christmas. From the snow (only on Christmas eve and Christmas day), to the tree, to the gifts I can't hardly wait for everyone to open. The coffee and famous breakfast, to my hubby and my kid(s!) reading the Christmas story before bed on Christmas eve. Not just any plain old story, THE Christmas story. Of Christ's birth. The WHOLE reason why we celebrate Christmas to begin with! The feelings and emotions that come along with Christmas, and dare I say, even the Christmas music! I can't wait to spend Christmas with two babies this year, instead of just Ky! DOUBLE the excitement! I will miss my brother not bringing his "Christmas cheer" this year, at least on Christmas itself, but I'm sure he is completely capable of celebrating in Bend.

Well kids, I need to go to bed. I just thought I'd update before I did so. Here are some pics of my precious lovelies...
