The days are just flying as usual. I kept thinking all day yesterday that it was Friday. Crazy I know. I don't know that I have ever thought of a Monday as a Friday before. The boys and I played trains all afternoon. They are loving building them and watching the trains go around and around. I kept thinking how cool it would be this year to get a train that goes around the Christmas tree. They would never come away from that thing I don't believe. But it makes them happy and smile so I wouldn't mind. I love seeing my boys smile! And speaking of smiling. Cameron has been doing so much more of it since we got the tubes put in his years. The picture above is him dancing with Noah. I am just so amazed at what a difference in his personality there is. I guess I didn't realize how bad he must have been feeling because he is now the hyper little guy we once knew a few months ago. Smiling and giggling like crazy all the time. And Noah seems happier too. Maybe he just knows his brother feeling better so he does as well. He crawled up in my lap before nap time to read books and was just grinning from ear to ear. And all I could think was this is the life. To have such amazing little guys and see those amazing little faces smile that big. Makes a mommy melt and just be so thankful to be alive.
Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend. We had a nice weekend. The boys did Breakfast with the Easter Bunny on Saturday morning. Although the Easter Bunny didn't show up until we were getting ready to leave (he was running late) we still had a great breakfast and they got to run around and such. After that we headed to the Egg Hunt here in town. It was fun. The boys had more fun just playing at the park than getting the eggs. Although we discovered they love Tootsie Rolls now. :) Today was a pretty quiet day. Looking back today I wish I had spent less time cooking and more time with the kiddos. They didn't even touch hardly anything I made for lunch. Oh well. Will know better next time. But they seemed to have fun with the eggs and things from their baskets. Now they think every time they see an egg that it will have something inside. Wonder how long that lasts? ;)
Wow. I don't even have words tonight. Please pray for this family. I came across Cari's blog a while back and always look forward to her posts. They are such shining examples of faith and the wonders it has when you truly believe. Please keep her and her husband in your prayers as they go down this road.

So many things I want to remember each and every day. Little things. Things the boys do or say and they make me laugh or smile. They have both started singing so much more. That is so precious to me. Cameron will sing Little Bunny Foo Foo now. He actually gets two lines into it! Noah of course loves the "bopping on the head" part of the song. We couldn't sing this for a while because he would literally try and bop you on the head. Funny. Cute.
They love to call to their daddy when he is working in his office during the day. It melts my heart. I love that they have the opportunity to have him work at home when he is in town. They are very lucky.
They are fascinated with so many new things it is so hard for me to recall all of them. They love trains and cars. Animals. Noah especially loves puppies but Cameron surprised me the other day and became attached to a new little dog I got for them.
Cameron is starting to have separation anxiety. Big time. They tell me it is common to have a second round with this at about their age. He never had it the first time (around 10 months or so). Noah still battles with separation anxiety. I think he always will.
At the end of the day I think I am just so tired I can't recall all the wonderful things from the day. I want to. I want to be able to capture them all and be able to share the little joys we have each and every day with them when they grow up. So many things I want for my children.

This is pretty funny. Any of you moms out there that has had a little one in the bath who has had an accident will laugh. Others will think it kind of gross. But hey, it was funny to me. Noah has been the only one so far to have had this happen (he is going to kill me years from now when he reads this). But now he can tell us when he wants out because he has to go. Woo-hoo!
Cameron did fantastic this morning. You can read more about it here. Tired and heading to bed. Finally downloaded photos from the last few days so those are up too. I have taken to writing my posts each night and then when I get a chance to download the photos publish them all. Sorry, but things have been crazy as of late so a wee bit behind. :)
Geez. Cameron woke up with a fever of 103.8 so off to the doctor we went. Man. What a long day. But at least we will be having tubes put in first thing in the morning. They do work quickly around here so for that I am thankful! We went to his regular doctor this morning and ended up at the ENT in the afternoon. So a nice long day at doctor's offices. Thankfully I only had to bring them both to the first one and M was able to keep Noah for the second. As usual Cameron was a great trooper and played in the waiting room patiently for the hour and a half we had to wait (they had to fit us in). And luckily they will be able to take him first thing tomorrow morning for the tubes so we won't have to do another shot in the leg. Poor little guy is still complaining about his leg hurting this afternoon. Hoping this will finally end the crazy fevers in our house for a long while! Now off to bed for me!
