Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving Day! We are so thankful. We spent the day telling each other what we were thankful for. We ate all the traditional foods and then played a family game. This is a picture just before the game we played. All of the boys were sitting on the sofa and I just snaped a picture. I love the photos that are not posed--just every day living. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Brotherly Love

Every day I drive all my boys to school. I drop Nathan and Qualan off first. Then I drop off Daniel. That gives Daniel and me about 5 minutes to be together-just the two of us. Daniel really enjoys this alone time. He enjoys talking to me on a variety of subjects. I love this time. I really get to know Daniel's inner thoughts and feelings. He brings a smile to my face and helps me see the world in a way I never have before. It is precious time--those 5 minutes. This morning he began "I love Nathan. He is the most creative person I know. He came up with Miners. It is really great. He didn't even get help from me. He just came up with it. He wants to turn it into a video game. Might take a couple of years to do. He needs better grades, but it will be so great Mom. He is really creative. I just love him." Brothers!

Time.....

I was looking back at pictures. My sweet Chiron has grown and changed so much! I love having the little guy in our family. He is so easy going. Most of the time he rather be on the floor than my arms. He has a special little spirit about him. I feel like he really needed to be in our sweet family. I just wish that I could freeze time and keep holding him forever. Where do the days go and why do they have to grow so fast? I want to soak up every minute that I am with him. How much that I love this little guy-sweet baby Chiron.

This year for Halloween my boys had a hard time deciding what to be. It came down to the wire and they still didn't know what they wanted. Finally, I suggested to Daniel to be a mummy. So I bought some sheets for Daniel to tear into strips. That left Nathan to be a ghost and Qualan decided to be batman. They had a great time trick-or-treating. The weather was nice and warm. It was great!
