Sunday morning...Mother's Day

Enjoying Sunday morning...Mother's Day with my kiddos.  We've been having Andrew stand more and more so his legs can get stronger.  Can you believe he is almost one?  He definitely loves to crawl around and explore and get into things.  He moves very quickly when you leave the bathroom door open or a cabinet open and verbalizes with a whine when you close it before he gets there.  Sorry little guy but those areas are not for playing.  He still gives such a great smile and loves to be tickled.

Of course Julia is in her favorite outfit....bathing suit and her cover-up.  I have a feeling there might be a lot of pictures of Julia in this outfit.  Lately Julia has been doing so many sweet, thoughtful and kind things it just makes me smile!  Of course she has her moments but she really is such a kind little girl.  I just bought her some new yogurts drinks and while she was enjoying one she came up and said, 'Thanks Mommy for buying this for me.'  Or the other night at dinner Thomas asked where Andrew's bib was and I said we didn't have one downstairs and before you knew it Julia was on her way upstairs and came back down with a bib for Andrew.  Or at therapy helping clean up the things she used without being asked.  Or getting a tissue for Andrew.  So lately the list goes on but I think you get the idea.  She's just been such a helper and really sweet lately and I just love it!    

I'm one lucky mom to have Julia and Andrew and everyday I think about that. I always tell Julia that I'm the luckiest Mommy and she asks why and I tell her because her and Andrew are my kids. They really are great!
