Thanksgiving Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving

There is so much that I am thankful for this year...

Have you seen my children?

Let's start with Olyvia...

Her personality? She is vivacious..full of life, she never stops moving...she is so sweet, loving and caring..she is sensitive when she is reprimanded, or accidentally hurts her sister. Her smile will make you smile, and as you can see...she loves having her picture taken, no vanity here! She is very nurturing...she takes very good care of her dollies and little sister...
Activities? She loves to do Arts and Crafts, her favorite activity? Singing and dancing!

She can recite the full alphabet and pick out all of her letters..She knows all of her shapes, and she will correct you if you try and fool her! She is also Mommies best helper...She even helps with the laundry!

Let's move on to my Emma..
She is yummy.
Emma's Persoanlity? This little gal, has a very strong personality...her smile, lights up a room, her eyes..they are mysterious and sweet. She knows what she wants, and if she does not get that, unfortunately, she will let you know..possibly with biting...(we are working on that)..she scares easily..like only a princess would...her wishes are not to sleep, as she never wants to miss a thing...she loves her sister..she watches her and laughs...I even here are mimicking Olyvia now..this is the best! When Emma cries her bottom lip quivers..obviously she does not cry for long, as this would melt even her enemies heart...

Emma has one of the sweetest persoanlities I have seen in a baby...

Emma loves to keep moving..she loves her "Roobie" and "Elmo"...She is my little Emma...

I am also thankful for my health, my family..my wonderful friends and the comfort of knowing in

this economy our professions are safe...

I pray this Thanksgiving for our soldiers, for the parents who grieve their loved ones and for all of the families effected by this economy..

I pray for Olyvia's sisters in China who await their new homes....

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Our Real Life Fairy!

Olvyia has recently become facinated with Tinker Bell...

November.....

The crisp days of November, the everlasting memories made... How can these beautiful girls not bring a smile to your face?? With every beat of my heart, these girls keep me breathing....

Emma Crawls!

Yes...That is right...Emma crawls! I am so incredibly happy that I was able to watch this HUGE development in her life! Here is how it went..I put her down on all fours, she began to rock so I kneeled in front of her and placed a cookie in my hands...she came! YEAH Emsley!!
She also broke another tooth, that makes three! Emma loves her sister...she loves to eat...she loves to hold my finger while we sleep..and she LOVES to play with pretend food..(a chicken leg at that!)
Emma and I are becoming so close...we hold each other, hug ever so tightly, she lies her head on my shoulder, and when she smiles at me, which she does often...my heart melts...She is beautiful...she is so sweet...she has a very bad temper and she is incredibly impatient..she is the perfect mix of her father and I...I love you Emsley Mila Ryle!
