I *heart *faces....especially this one!

So, I technically think this is my most favorite picture of my little man. This was right before his lip repair, and it really is one last look at him before his looks changed forever. I miss this face, and yet, I love his "new" one just as much as this one. I'm glad I got to fall in love with his two beautiful faces! Check out the other black and white photos this week in the contest by double clicking the button below. Enjoy the beautiful photos!

Sisterly Sweetness...

We were getting ready for our doctor's appointments this morning. Ellie wanted to be my big helper. And Reid was very compliant to just stand there and be patient (this is TOTALLY out of character for him!). I thought it was super sweet. And, an even sweeter thing happened after I took this picture. Reid bent over and kissed Ellie's hood. Love it. Pure sweetness. Wonder how long it will last???

7:15 am....Saturday....why not???

Ok...so last night, Ellie wanted to do something "special". She wanted to make cupcakes. By the time she thought of her idea, it was already closing in on bedtime. But, Brian and her made the cupcakes and baked them. She was so tired, (hasn't felt well all week) she told Brian that she could just frost them first thing in the morning. So, here we are! Literally, it was 7 am...and she was bouncing down the steps singing a made up song about frosting her cupcakes. So, here she is...bed head and all!

She was so excited to frost them by herself. She probably dreamed about this!
Diving in!
Yesssss......but now the hard part....waiting until lunch to eat them!

And when Reid woke up, he also had to take a peek at the delectable creations that his sister had made! Can you tell he is smiling super wide?? I am sure it will be quite a messy lunch at our house today!

Wonder.....

This week's contest is all about wonder. I truly wonder how long Ellie's eyelashes will grow! In this picture she was 15 months old. So sweet! Please check out the link below to some other great faces of wonder.

Mmmmm....the sweet smell of...

Well, the title of this post was suposed to be the "sweet smell of Valentine flowers", but Reid thought that it made much more sense to taste it instead. The boy's mind is ALWAYS on food!

It's ALL about the cracker...

Don't mind the kid-mess of a house you are about to see....just listen closely and enjoy Reid's FAVORITE word. Probably even more favorite than, "MaMa!" Enjoy!
