My adorable boys. Recent Quotes and funny things:)

Nolan was crying up in his crib the other night and i went in (Jared was still up too) and was patting his back telling him, "Mommy's here, don't cry". My sweet Jared pipes in and says "Look Nolan, Jared's here, Liam's here (although silent and sleeping) - and we all love you, don't be sad". My heart melts...how precious.

On Christmas day Liam is with Kristen and David in the bathroom and he looks in the mirror and says "Hi Noli (Nolan)"....haha, too funny. My little crack up.

Nolan - most babies like to snuggle up with a nice soft blanket or cozy stuffed animal. Not you!!! Another night you couldn't settle and I went into your room and hand you a toy hammer. You calm right down and go back to bed. You are always walking around with a little matchbox car, toy tool, or cookie:) in your hand. You boys make me smile bigger than anything I could have ever imagined.

Christmas!!!

Christmas has come and gone and I must say I'm a bit sad. I have always LOVED Xmas but this year, sharing it with our 3 little men, was the best. Every day leading up, we would listen to christmas carols on the radio and the cd's we made, we baked, we crossed off the days on the advent calendar and would talk about santa and all his reindeer. They were hysterical. Liam and Nolan really didn't know what was going on but knew it was something exciting and Jared this year was fully aware. He kept talking about Santa flying around and being a good boy. They were a blast...from start to finish. Yesterday I asked Jared if he had a fun Xmas and he said "Christmas is all done mommy, 'borry" (his pronounciaton of sorry)" Haha, he knew I didn't want it to be over either. They are having a blast with all their new toys though, keeping very busy. Jon was so good to me - got me boots (that I'm returning...sorry babe - not my style:), new VS stuff, a new outfit. What a good boy!!! Maureen annouced on Xmas that they're having another baby -- I'm thrilled for them.

An awesome Xmas and amazing year. :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

We are getting close, only 8 days to go until Christmas day. The boys are crazy, getting very excited. Jared's eyes light up when I talk about Santa flying around in his sleigh pulled by Rudolph and he's so excited to make Santa some xmas cookies to leave out on xmas night. Liam and Nolan know something is up -- and Nolan says "ho, ho, ho" when he sees santa. I almost don't want the day to come so quick because I am loving this prep time with them. It's the best watching Xmas shows/movies, coloring Xmas trees, crossing the days off the calendar -- I've always loved this time of year but it doesn't compare now that I get to do it with my boys. They are so fun!!
