Andrew has become quite the little helper in the kitchen. He can crack the eggs by himself. We just got done licking the brownie bowl clean together in this pic! Emma and daddy last May at bush park!

I was laying down with Andrew tucking him into bed last week when he popped his head up and asked me a question that gave me goose bumps... "mommy, will I always live here with you?" Our conversation went on about him living here for many many more years until he goes off to college. Next question.. "Will I be gone at college for a long time?" I continued telling him that if he was at a school close he may be home on the weekends or maybe just during holidays and summertime. He frowned his little eye brows and said, "i want live here with you forever mom."

Its times like these that make all the work so worth it.

Emma loves saying everyone in our families name. She says "mommy daddy bwother EMMA." Yes, she exclaims her own name. Daddy is pretty much her favorite thing right now. (i guess second to her binki, blanket and hanta veedee) that means santa dvd (: He gets home from work or a meeting and she jumps up and down enthusiastically shouting "Daddy home Daddy home!" Very sweet. They play this farm animal game that is so adorable to watch. She just giggles and stares at him with such admiration and love. God is so good.
