Sweet Moments & Sweet Siblings

I just love being a mom! Of course there are days where my patience hits its limit, days of seemingly endless cleaning up messes, and just pure craziness, but there are also many, many sweet moments and some where I pause for a minute and realize how precious this time is with my sweet children and how fast it will go. These are irreplacable years with them and I am continually reminding myself to enjoy them and cherish them as much as I can.


Dalyn is such a joy. He is so full of life and energy and is so much fun. He is also a little thinker. The things he puts together and comes up with never cease to amaze me. Lately he has really been into drawing and coloring and anything Spiderman. All the stages and phases are so fun!
Braelyn is so precious. She is just the sweetest and happiest baby. She loves to smile, laugh, squeal, socialize, etc. She is my little sunshine! (An added bonus is that she has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months old. Now she's up to about 10 hours a night. All that great sleep makes for a happier baby and mommy:)
Many sweet moments come from seeing Dalyn as a big brother. From day one he has been the sweetest brother. He loves his baby sister so much and it has been so fun to see him take the opportunity to develop his nurturing and protective side:) He loves to share things with her (like his Sea World hat that he put on her). He also likes to make sure she's included in fun things we do, like the other day for FHE we played Candy Land and he picked out a gingerbread person for her and helped her take her turns. I love my little angels!
