KIDS, Glorious Kids!
Quinn is such a darling with his little brother and sister. He's very fair. If he says "hi" to Mae, he makes sure to crawl over to Max and give him a nuzzle too. The twins love it when Quinn's obnoxious. Oh, they think it's so funny. Max & Mae could listen to Quinn's babble all day long. Often he's busy being a 2 1/2 year old and doesn't pay them much mind, but every once in a while he remembers they're around and he crawls after them, talks to them, sings and dances for them. Watching the twins response, you'd think their hero was in the room. This is what I hoped having kids (siblings for one another, playmates) would feel like.
We made cookies for baby Jesus's birthday. Quinn figured, if Christmas was about celebrating a birthday, we'd better have treats. Quinn and I had a really fun time making the cookies and talking about Jesus.

They have so much fun together. Mike, and Mini-Mike!
Seriously, how cute is this apron??!!
My dear friend made me this apron for Christmas this year. I LOVE IT! Thank you, Lindsay, for making me feel glamorous while stirring my oatmeal!
Here is Mae, getting into things! She loves to be in the action. She drags her 9 month-old self around, not truly crawling on hands & knees but going places none-the-less, and finds yummy things to chew on. Loaves of bread, drapes, the side of the couch, old crusty cheerios (at least, I hope they're cheerios). She is a hoot and smiles all the time.
My life is full of sweet moments. It's full of frustrating, crying moments as well, but what floats to the top at the end of a full day are the tender moments with my little ones. They won't be small for long. I love them and thank the Lord for this chance to raise His precious children.
