Our Dear Children

My sweet Bently, Keira, and Tessa . . .

WE

LOVE

YOU!!

We love you guys sooooo much! We are having lots of fun in Mexico! It seems that everywhere we go and eerything we do reminds of you. You guys mmake our life so full and wonderful!

Today we went swimming in the ocean! The water was very warm and very very blue. We thought about how good you guys are getting at swimming all by yourselves! We can't wait to go swimming with you this summer! We can't wait to catch you when you jump off the diving board. You were so brave last year when you first learned how to jump off the diving board - we are so proud of you!

I hope that you are having a wonderful time with grandma and grandpa and Tara and Taylor and Celeste and Josh. They love you so much. We are so blessed to have such a great family. Please take care of them and give them lots of hugs and kisses!

We love you so much! Hugs and kisses to you my sweet babies. I can't wait to hold you again!

Love Mommy and Daddy

That's My Castle

Keira Is becoming quite the girly girl . It all started like this . . .
Around Christmas time I was running some errands with my girl and this was one of the ew times that she decided to sit in the cart. I began our errands and started down aisle one for our first little trewasue when keira suddenly gasped . . .
"Mom! Mom, what is that?"
The cart comes to a sudden stop as I suddenly find myself a little alarmed at her anxiousness.
"Hmmm - what do you see?'
"That mom - right there. Is so booaful a me." The sweet chubby finger points directly at a soap dispenser with the Disney Princesses posed around one another in complete grace. Like she said . . . "is soooooo booaful a me mom."


Game over.


Cinderella is the favorite right now.


Yesterday on the way home from taking Bently to preschool (he goes to preschool downtown Raleigh), Keira looked out the window and gasped again. This time . . .
"Mom, I see my castle!! "
"You're castle?"

I look up and immediatly recognize what she sees - the BB&T skyscraper rising up above the flowering dogwoods. I suppose the sight really is magical!

Photogenic Sundays

We are often a little antsy on Sundays (especially in the winter) for some good activities to do with the children.

One of our favorites : Picture Time!!!

Tessa

Bently has just caught on to "smiling for the camera" - good thing too, since we've spent the last two years with a blank stare every time the camera is out!

Keira wan't really in the mood.
