I apologize for not posting in a while. We have been busy having fun and celebrating our birthdays! a good excuse, huh?! Mom made a surprise visit up last Sunday (well I knew 2 days in advance) and we made the most of her time here last week. She got to see the boys at their music class last Monday and was here for my birthday! That alone was pretty special. The boys gave me a new purse, expensive I might add...not sure I am deserving and even know how to carry it! I'm used to Target specials. :) The boys and I went to school as usual Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday, Mark was post call so Mom and I got to shop around at a few stores that little boys are NOT allowed in!!! Then Mark and I had a nice "grown-up" dinner with no interruptions. Come Thursday, I was already getting that sick feeling knowing Mom would be leaving soon. When I'm not around family, I'm fine...but when I get to enjoy them, I want them all the time! Guess that is with anything in life and is why we enjoy today, today!
Friday morning, I had the boys a friend birthday party. When we have the one at home, it will be more or less family. So, I wanted them to be able to celebrate with what they consider their friends. It was an Elmo themed party. Anderson loves him some "Melmo!" It basically was a playdate here at our house that was sugar-coated with goodies! It was simple. fun. dirty. tiring!
What can Anderson do at 2?
He sleeps with his brother in a big boy bed.
He can run, jump and gallop.
He sings.
He loves food, but mostly sweets, pickles, and fruit.
He brushes his teeth all by himself.
He says "I love you."
He is learning colors...everything is blue right now.
He can count to 3.
He tries to sing the A,B,C's with his brother.
He loves his blankie and bun, bun.
He loves to play outside.
He is lovable and not so lovable at the same time!
He loves his Mommy, Daddy, and Bently.
He loves to wrestle with his Daddy and Bently.
Thinking about all of that makes me want to brag on my boys. They are mine, so I guess I can! They are precious and very special to me. I pray daily for their health because I know any day they could wake up and be sick. I don't know how long I will have them, so I choose to pray for them and thank the Lord daily for their blessing to me. But rest assured, I pray for all of you TOO!! We wouldn't be where we are today with out the friends and family that we have. Thank you for loving us and believing in our dreams.
