Keep this image

There have been quite a few moments during the lives of my children that I haven't been able to document with a photo or video but that I've tried to capture in my mind and keep preserved just as I experienced them. Unfortunately, I always fail to remember exactly every detail of the moment as I had hoped. They come often when my babies are small because I love rocking, smelling, kissing and snuggling them. So I have been trying to hold on to this time with Lilly. Today there was also a two hour period with Ryan and Colvin. I know I seems odd that I wouldn't be able to document an image of a 2 hour period, but I couldn't interrupt for fear it would ruin what they had going. I let them play outside for the first time "alone" today. I watched from the window while they laughed and made up games together int he snow. They took turns pushing each other on the sled down the "hill" in our front yard. They pretended to be snow plows (their heads were the plows). They dug and built forts. They had snowball fights. I love what good buddies they are. I hope I never forget the love that I witnessed and felt today.

Colvin's first dentist appt

She did great! The kids get to watch PBS at the dentist so it's questionable whether or not they actually know where they are.

"Me is in her eye"

Colvin saw her reflection in Lilly's eye when she was holding her today. She still holds her at least once a day and neither of the kids can get enough of her.

Zoo

We ventured out to como zoo this weekend. Dan's first trip! Great morning. Lilly slept in the carrier with Dan for most of it. Kids did a cute scavenger hunt and Colvin ate a majority of the time (typical). We owed them a fun day after 2 services that lasted 2+ hours each for father Arnold. They were so well behaved!

Finally snow!

Watching Dan playing with the older 2 is one of my favorite things to do.

Poor crisp guy

Luckily the kids are faring better than this plant. Can't say I have much time to keep up with anything extra at this point!

Sweet one

Little Lilly girl has given us 2 wonderful nights of sleeping 8+ hours! Loving this when I can get it. Mama needs her sleep!! The other kids precise when I'm less crabby too :)

Nature center

We gave the kids an option of going to the zoo or nature center today and my sweet little tutu wearing girl wanted to go to the nature center to see bugs! Unfortunately we drew straws and ry won so we are off to the zoo. So hard for me to say no to this cute ragamuffin :)

Sweetness

Even though she only let me sleep for 4 hours last night, I can't be upset with a face like that.

Best night

Lilly was a rock star and slept for 6 hours last night! Unfortunately, Ryan got up in the middle of the night to reapply Chapstick. Seriously?! Could that not wait until morning, ry?

Like her big sis

Lilly found her finger to suck for the second time in her short life. Maybe this will be her appendage of choice just like Colvin.
