Max loves his brother

Max is in kindergarten and in his class they have show and tell every week. Before Christmas Break they had the theme of bring something green or red. For the entire month max had decided he wanted to take Marcus for his show and tell. He has a red and green Christmas outfit he had to wear to fit into the criteria. Max was so proud to show off his baby brother. After we left kindergarten we had to stop by second grade so Rye could have her turn. I am grateful all my kids seem to really love each other. I need to really enjoy it before they are all 16 and moody right?

A good Sunday

Today Ben blessed Marcus. It was a wonderful day. It was a beautiful blessing. I could feel the love Ben has for our children and I am so grateful for that. I love having a new baby during the Christmas season. Marcus is such a sweet baby and we are all in love with him. It was a perfect day with our family and friends we are so blessed. Bad mom didn't take one picture though!

This is the view from our home tonight. I think we just might be in heaven. Can I freeze my kids and family at this spot?

You're a mom!

Mikey wanted me to take him to the bathroom today at church. I told him he had to go to the girls bathroom because I can't go in the mens bathroom. I was explaining to mikey that I was a girl. His response...
"you're not a girl you're mom!"

Marcus is a week old!

Marcus had a big day today. He had a photo shoot with the famous Emily Walton of barnwood photography. I can't wait to see the results. Ben has been giving me a hard time tonight for playing dress up with the baby. I love it though. Emily had a huge basket that we put Marcus in for pictures. Michael was out with us and we asked him what do you think of the basket? His reply, "it's stupid!" thanks kid you're a real sweetie. Anyway...
I took this pic today after Marcus had a bath his first bath in fact at home. He loved it and seems happy. I always love to think they are really smiling. Such a sweet baby.

The princess puppy

Daisy is a bit of a princess. I have nicknamed her the princess puppy for that reason. She fits with our family well and I love having a dog around again. Sometimes she is naughty but for the most part she is a good dog.
Mikey loves her more than any of the other kids but he claims she is not his dog. He always says things like mom your dog needs to eat or mom your princess puppy needs to go outside. It makes us all laugh that the dog is only my dog. Hopefully I'm not creating future therapy session for my children by loving a dumb dog.
