Brother and Sister

"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. "

~Clara Ortega

After Naps

This is Jack after his nap

This is Jack and Lily after naps. At Jack's request, I put Lily in his bed when she woke up.

Hug Sneak Attack

This week has been a particularly challenging week. It's felt like the winter won't quit. We had more doctor appointments, many tantrums, and dwindling patience levels. I'm going to look at this picture every time I start to get stressed out. The sun came out today. You can see it shining down on those faces. It will be great to be able to get outside again and breathe in the fresh air. I can't wait to take walks on snow-free sidewalks! We're waiting for you Spring.

Mustard

Jack has been a little more adventurous lately with his meals. The other day he said he wanted mustard on his hot dog. Don't worry bud, I make that same face every time I taste peas or olives or black coffee. Of course we offered this, "It'll put hair on your chest."
