Brotherly-Sisterly Love

Check out the koozie grandpa Jim

I love that you can see a little smile behind the pacifier!! 

So I managed to snap these pictures this morning right after the kids woke up!!  MLK sure does love KTK despite the fairly regular pushing and stealing of his books/toys...actually on both their parts. She sees that he is playing with something and as soon as he puts it down in disinterest she runs over to grab it ( even it is something that she hasn't played with in months). He sees her playing with the item and then decides he wants it back and of course she is NOT willing to give it back. So this is kind of a constant battle intermixed with pushing and pulling of hair!!  Sometimes Eric and play referee! :) But, I know they love each other as evidenced by the adorable pictures above and they will grow up to be best friends eventually.  KTK is fighting a cold right now but in general is still pretty happy. I finally figured out how to get him to eat protein....put it in a bowl and give him a spoon!!  He'll eat anything in a bowl with a spoon. This is how they eat at Kindercare now that he is in the toddler room so I should have known to follow suit. He ate meatloaf and chicken casserole over the weekend :) You can see by the pictures he is such a paci lover!!  He is addicted to the thing here, although I KNOW he only gets it at nap time at school. Something tells me that is going to be a tough one to break. But,  on a positive note he loves the potty. Maybe the potty training business won't be too hard. Time will tell.  Well off to get MLK from church school....she SOOOO loves it there. The scenery picture is from this morning...you can't tell very well ( my photography friend Jody would have been able to get this to look better with her camera magic :) but it is the sunrise.  The leaves are so pretty right now and the sunrise was beautiful right out our back window...I love the location of our house.  So serene. Pray in 20 years that it won't be a bunch of houses.....but I am hopeful!!  No plans thus far but all kinds of other development around us right now....... This weekend we are getting family pictures at Vanderveer park taken by Bella Baby Photography the company that takes the pictures of the infants in the hospital.  I'm pretty excited to see how the kids react to the big fountain.  It will be nice to be back in the ol' neighborhood. We'll have to check how good ol' 2113 Myrtle Street looks. I'm not missing raking all those leaves :)
