Tell me a story

Molly wanted me to read her story the other day, and as usual, I was busy doing one of those mundane mom tasks. The baby was asleep, or so I thought, in his bouncy chair. Molly stopped pestering me for a story and after a few minutes, I could hear her talking in the familyroom. I walked in there and found this cute setting.. She was "reading" to her little brother. Isn't it crazy that this little four year old is better at taking the time to be a "mom" than her own mom? It was a good reminder: the laundry, the dishes, the bills, etc will always be there, but moments like these won't.

The Sheriff

So I was doing laundry the other day when Molly found this little Sheriff's vest among the clothes. It was Porter's Halloween costume last year...no idea how it got out, but Molly decided it was meant for Lincoln... I was in the other room, of course, and I heard some commotion and found my little man (still in his pj's) adorned with a badge! He's the cutest law enforcement officer I've seen lately. (And suprisingly, I've seen a few.)

Halloween photos

Aren't my little witches darling? Little guy (he wasn't Lincoln yet) was a sweet pea in the pod. He didn't get to trick or treat, but I don't think he missed it! He got to have a rest at "Aunt Gretchen's" house so he wouldn't be around all the bugs. But his grandparents got to see his cute costume.. My big boys went horse riding with their dad rather than go to the Halloween trunk or treat at the church. They got to have the "Halloween" experience the week previous at the Goring Halloween party.. Who knew that they would choose horse riding over candy!

Our Family's pictures

We had our family's pictures taken I got to preview a few of them.. They turned out really well. I love all of them except (of course) the close up of myself. You'll have to check them out www.timandkimphotography.blogspot.com . When I receive the disc, I'll post some of the other individual pictures.. Tim & Kim were so good to work with my "helpful" and energetic kids. They do a great job! Anyway, I'm glad to have the pictures done. They are so stressful to get ready for, but worth it when you look back.

Lincoln Thomas Hammons

Today was the big day. Our "little guy" is now....Lincoln Thomas Hammons..
