One of my favorite traditions in our little family is Mother's Day and Father's Day photos. We nearly missed it this year! We ended up going outside after the big kids were already in pajamas. We still had a fun photo shoot, with Squish grinning the whole time, the big kids goofing (the way they always do) and mama, just looking like....a mom.
I am so proud of all three of these kids. Lil G, at 8 years old, is at a hard stage. He wants to be a young man but in so many ways, he is such a little kid. His reading is exploding, he loves riding his bike and drawing, and he has a lovely kind spirit.
Smunchie, at 5, is her own person. She has killer dance moves, lovely penmanship, and so much imagination. Of course, with that imagination also comes big feelings, that she's learning to channel appropriately.
Squish. Our Squish. He has had a hard time, due to chronic ear infections. But my oh my....that little boy has such personality and such a winning smile. He is so easy going! I wish he would grow up a little slower but I can't wait to see who he becomes.
I am so blessed to mother these kids. They make me a better person, while also pushing me to the brink of insanity each and every day.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
