10.10.10–7 years of marriage, 3 month old and 3 year old

i often wonder what my kids will look like when they are older. with jack, the moment he was born i knew just what he'd look like at 3. he still looks a lot like what he did when he was a baby. so, i think i have a pretty good idea of what he will look like at 20. i also know that he will still have a kind heart and a silliness about him like patrick and i. claudia, for me, is more difficult to read. i can't see who she looks like now which makes it difficult to see how she might look at 20. however, i am patient when it comes to my children aging. this time i get to spend with them is going to mean something completely different to them than it does to me.

tonight when jack and i finished our two stories, with gave hugs and kisses. as i left the room jack blew me a kiss and said "see you in the morning" and then "i love you momma". how can the night be better?

anniversaries are so much better with two kids.

5 weeks


claudia is 5 weeks old and doing very well. the last few days she has slept 5-7 hours which is so amazing for a breast fed baby. she is getting so big, almost 12 pounds. she smiles at big brother jack when he tickles her toes. she loves to be held and i love to hold her. her little eye lashes are growing and she has a little fountain of hair on top. i have an amazing family!

jack is on his way to underpants. he used the "man" potty all weekend while we were at Maker Faire. the man potty is the urinal inside the port-a-potty. i am so proud of jack. he has the most wonderful personality. he's wild, he's empathetic. fun, loving, smart and creative. while at the museum he created a story about a rocket ship while we hid out in the photo both as daddy was packing up the puppets!
