Today

Lately, I've really been trying to soak it all in. Remember every little detail from my kids' days. Remember the crazy and smart things Stone says. Remember the peek-a-boo game I play with Emerson, and her squeel when she sees any kind of animal. I've even been trying to soak in Stone's misbehavior. Recently, a few times in public, when I feel like my kids are way too crazy, I've had several different people approach me (perhaps because of my horrible poker face), and tell me, "I PROMISE YOU. You will miss this stage." Another lady said, "ooooh, what I'd give to have just one day with my kids these ages again doing these things." When I hear people say these things, I realize that these crazy little munchkins are going to be grown up before I know it. And so.... I've really tried to soak in every single second with my kids lately. The last few days I've been slower to scold Stone, and quicker to play with him when he asks. I LOVE THESE KIDS. THEY ARE "MORE THAN LOVE".

Thanks, Lor, for these boots!! Emerson is in love with them, and so am I.

Hahaha, yes, Stone is in the baby swing. He loves to swing next to Emerson.

Stone teaching Emerson all about dandelions:

Ooooo! I know you were wondering if we'd get through a whole post with Stone's clothes on! The Superman one-peice swimsuit (a gift from Jordan and Rachel--something you've seen on this blog many of times). It's the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving and giving.

And then he had to button back up to become "Clark Kent" again. Yes, he does all layers.
