My favorite moments

These kind of pictures happen to be my favorite. When one brother tries to comfort another, not because mom or dad prompted them to but by their own sheer desire to comfort one another. There is just something so touchingly sweet about these moments. (They do not seem to happen all that often and when they do happen, there never seems to be a camera around to capture them.)

BTW if you could not tell, Matthew is trying to give Seth a pacifier to make him feel better!

Have you ever noticed?

That as you have more children you tend to worry about less things.

No, that is not poop and, no, he did not get into it himself.
There is a great reason he is so happy!

Have you guessed what he ate. A chocolate and peanut butter cookie. His dad gave it to him and no, no that is by far not his first cookie. (Side note: Erik did not even get cake on his 1st birthday. Yes, I was a mean mom!)

Wall Art

Matthew loves his Mam-ma. She is his "favorite." This was taken when I was frantically cleaning the house, due to an upcoming inspection.

Now mind you what they are scrubbing off is the "Art" that he so lovingly put up there on one of his many rampages. Notice how he does not seem to be doing much of the scrubbing. (Hmm, maybe that is why he loves her so much.)

And just when you are sure that your house is truely marker free, one finds that there is another wall to scrubb. I am not sure what I did with all of my time before I had kids!!
