So Sleepy

They are impossile not to love and kiss and hug when they sleep so peacefully.







Bently and Keira know when it is getting close to bedtime and it is always the best time of day at our home. In general they get along really well to begin with, but when they sense that bedtime is near they get along even better! They wrestle together, giggle, hug and kiss, and are just a lot of fun. Too much fun in fact - and most of the time they get to stay up later than they should because we enjoy such great times together when bedtime is near.

Before Dakota and I go to bed every night we check on our sweet little boy and girl and I can never resist one more kiss for each of them - they are my sweetest dreams each night.

Isn't that the truth.....I don't think I can go to bed with out going in to watch them sleep for just a moment.
Makes you wonder how old you were when our parents were still coming in late at night to watch us sleep?!?

OK, I'm tired of being a wuss. I've known about your blog(s) for quite some time through our mutual friends the Hippens. Really I just haven't known what to say and now I don't care. You have such a beautiful little growing family and you take such fun looking trips! My Freckleyone and I were so happy to see the cute pictures. Two things: 1) I hope I'm not overstepping any bounds, but it looks like Bently has Down's Syndrome and it runs in my wife's family also. Two of my sisters-in-law have a blog because my niece has Down's and an up-and-coming nephew will have it also. Any comments you have I think would be helpful to them. Their blog is http://imdownwithdowns.blogspot.com/
2) I mustered up the courage to write because my friend Grover tagged me and I'm tagging you. For details, see http://www.illoomination.blogspot.com/.
Sorry it took me so long to shed the weakness. Hope you are well!

Hey Charlotte & Dakota!! I found your link on Heidi's page....I can't believe how big your kids are getting. I too haven't seen you since Bentley was a tiny baby. How have you been doing? Keep in touch. I just started one of these blogs. When you have time visit us at: www.kissthecookfam.blogspot.com. When in August are you due? Have you picked out a name yet?

Luv ya,
