My children are such a blessing

Zachary has recently found his thumb. Not totally sure he is going to be a thumb sucker, more like a thumb chewer as he really likes to chew on it more than anything else.

Calvin, being, well, Calvin. He had a bad nap this day and was in quite a funk. Calvin is not just a noun in our house, it takes on many forms as a verb, adjective, adverb, etc. My sweet boy!!

Emerald had fun pushing Mango around in Nana's stroller. She can be such a little mommy when she wants to be.

Zachary getting some love from Great Grandma Konicek (Skip's grandma).

Isn't it amazing how you can raise them all the same, and yet they are so different? My 3 children are all such blessings to me. I love each of them so much. They each have their personalities. Their own demeanor. I love you guys so much!! Calvin can be so sweet, holding your hand when you walk with him. He loves to read books and be curled up in your lap. He always has to give a kiss when talking to you on the phone. He loves to give hugs and kisses and share his "I love you's". He has a love for his big sis, aka "your my hero Gee". Emerald is such an amazing big sister with never ending love for both of her brothers. She is patient with them 90% of the time. She beems when you take the time to play pretend with her. She is always telling us she loves us as well. Emerald has been saying some of the best prayers ever lately and it really shows just how much those little minds can understand. Zachary is such a sweet, easy-going little guy. He flashes his bright smile at you if you stop and pay the slightest bit of attention to him. He is an amazing sleeper. He is still pretty easy and will go to pretty much anyone that wants to hold him. He has really started to beam with admiration when his big sis and brother give him some love. We have a large picture of Em & Cal and Zachary will stretch his neck around to see the picture. He is such a wonderful little guy!
