my sweet children

Chloe,

The other day daddy stubbed his toe, and lets say he made it clear that he was hurt.  You quickly jumped off the kitchen table bench and kneeled down to kiss his foot! 

You are picking up words and sayings so quickly without being taught.  You made Tayta laugh when she sneezed the other day.  You were so quick to say, "God Bess you Tayta."  And you say it all the time now after every sneeze in the house :)

Noah, 

I took you to Trader Joe's the other day to do our grocery shopping.  When we got to the register, you noticed the flowers by the door, and you shouted, "mom, we forgot to buy you flowers!" Daddy has taught you well.

Last week you were sick with pneumonia.  Daddy was away and it was so hard and heart breaking caring for you.  You were laying in my arms on the couch trying not to cough and I was feeling so weak and overwhelmed.   Out of no where you looked up at me and said, "mom, you're the best and I love you." How grateful you made me feel to be your mommy.

These are just a couple of the many moments I wish to remember and continue to be grateful for.  We love you guys so much and we are so blessed to be your parents.
