I just can't

I'm pretty sure its been over a month since I posted anything. I really want to post. Life has been bringing all sorts of new and fun experiences. But alas, there is no time. One of life's newest changes is part time, at home work. It just happened. And, since it happened I can no longer justify goofing off online when every spare moment not holding a baby or playing princesses should now be directed toward said work.

Someday soon I hope to figure out how to better appropriate my time and then will share cute pic's of my big baby boy, my girl and her pre-school adventures, and my hubby's travels all over the place. Until then I take comfort in the fact that not that many people read this blog. Of my five readers I didn't want to let YOU down.

The art and innocence of compliments

This evening we were taking a stroll around the neighbor"hood" when two little girls ran out on their driveway. Both about Silvi's age, one had some Dora the Explorer pj's on and the other had a Disney Princess nightgown on.
Upon seeing her fashionable peers Silvia says,

"Hi. I like your shirts."

Without missing a beat.

The girls just stared and didn't say anything. Unphazed she just continued on her stroll, pushing her pink stroller with her dolly in it.

Very cute and innocent.

Sad that the same situation will likely continue to play out and 9 times out of 10 the only response will be a blank stare.

Three going on Sixteen

Again, Mindy at sweetimages did a fantastic job.

Baby Blue Eyes

Nostalgia

Had a few moments of nostalgia today.
First, there's this kid who is growing so fast. I'm already sad about the day when I'll look back and find it hard to remember him as a baby.

Then there is this girl.
She is so full of life. Everything is a role play these days. From Cinderella, to scary monsters, to crawling around pretending to be a puppy for a whole afternoon. She just keeps me totally entertained, and wears me out all at the same time.

Today I thought it would be fun to introduce her to "Annie." I wasn't sure if she would sit through it, especially because it's not animated, but she did. Funny enough, half way through the movie she wanted to be the "mom" and for me to be her "kids." Then she started throwing a ribbon around her neck. I finally figured out she was Miss Hanagen. What?! Since when do little girls love Miss Hanagen.
Oh wait. Her speach is slurd. She wears wacky outfits. And she's got some crazy dance moves. What three year old wouldn't relate?!

Silver Lake

Jon's sister came to town for a visit so those that could went to Silver Lake for a nice afternoon Silvi with the "Pick a Poop" game that I used to watch the kids play with oh so long ago. Never imagined I'd watch my own kid get the same enjoyment out of it.

Hauling the babe around. Pretty stylin'!

Big Boy

Berg is getting so big. I know that is what everyone thinks when they see their wirey infant turn into a plump, smiley baby, right?

This kid is such a sweetheart. He has the biggest smile and his whole face lights up when he smiles.

His laugh is pretty funny because it comes right from his gut but his face hardly moves.

He has been rolling around on the ground and loves the toys that dangle over him.

He seems completely enthralled with his sister. He watches her every move and she can get him to laugh and smile the easiest out of all of us.

He continues to be so patient with me and is so quiet sometimes I tend to forget where he is. (Terrible, I know.)

These past five months have flown by and have been amazing. I'm still shocked at how much I love being a mom and the amount of love I have for these two sweet children.
