“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”

Little boy can sit up!  He's growing so fast.  He really wants to keep up with his big brother. 

Brotherly love

It's one of the best feelings as a mom .. seeing your children as friends.  These two love each other.  Jonathan is such a big brother.  Jack adores Jonathan.  I am so glad I get to be their mom.  Look at those sweet faces.  I know they are going to cause me grief and gray hair one day.  For now, I'm going to keep snapping pictures, writing down all the cute things they do, and try to remember these moments.

Kisses!

Conversations with Jonathan

Jonathan: My Papa makes grass.  (He means cuts the grass.)
Mommy: Oh yeah?  What does Grandma make?
Jonathan: Apple Juice!

Jonathan: I'm a tiger!
Mommy: What is Jack?
Jonathan: A monkey!
Mommy:  What is Mommy?
Jonathan: A hippo!

Mommy:  Jonathan is a good boy.
Jonathan: And Daddy's a good boy.  And Brandon's a good boy.  And Mommy's a good boy.
Mommy:  No, Mommy's a good girl.
Jonathan: Mommy's a girl?

Happy Halloween

We decided to do evil this year for Halloween.  Mainly because Jon and I didn't fit in the Super Hero costumes.  No one wants to see Cat Woman after she's had two kids.  Jack was the cutest Lil' Devil ever.  And Jonathan embraced his dracula cape.  He growled all night. 
Jonathan loved going door-to-door saying Trick or Treat. He'd get some candy, say thank you, and say "Another House!" He was adorable. Jack was a good little trick-or-treater also.

Sweet Jack

Little monkey playing around in his Jumping Jack.  He's not much of a jumper.  He just likes to stand on one leg.  He's just so sweet.  Such a little lover.  He loves kisses, hugs, and holding hands!

 

The girls

Holly - sister-in-law - threw a baby shower at my house for Katherine - Megan's roomie.  She's in the white dress with blue flowers.  She's super tiny so I thought I'd point her out.  :)  Megan in the green. Holly in the black sweater.  It was a very nice shower.  Jon took the boys to Grammy's for the afternoon, so we could have girl time.
