Best Buddies

Since beginning Pre-School, William has made lots of friends that he loves to play with. We now have a couple regular play dates every two weeks with some of his class mates and their moms...but they're all girls. Will loves playing with girls but I have to say, his best buddie (Will's words) is Malik. They are the same age and get in trouble all the time at school. Almost every day I pick him up from school, I can hear Miss Jenny telling one or both of them to, "sit down" "put that away" "no running" etc.... so finally after much begging on Will's part, I offered to bring Malik home from school today with us for a play date so Gramma could get a break. They have been cracking me up all day. So much hugging from two little boys....LOVE IT!!!

Happy Face, Silly Face

William loves to practice faces. Yesterday while we were doing our "faces" he said, "mama, please can you take my picture for your 'bog'?"

Taken of course while eating our bedtime snack....ahhh, I love all his faces!

Kingston's First Hair cut

Poor Kingston has Psoriasis on his head like his brother, so I got Auntie Erynn to shave his head yesterday. I was sad to see all his hair go, but honestly, I think he still looks adorable. It just makes him look older no?

Super Willy!

When ever Paul goes away on business, I try to make videos of the kids and send them to him while he's away. This was the lastest video when he was away last week. I love William's imagination.

Swing Envy

I know this is kind of sad but I thought it was cute too. Kingston was so upset that Will was on the swing...he wanted to go too.

Fun at the park

April 14th, 2009 Kingston's Birthday

Dear Kingston,

I can't believe that you're one already. I want you to know how proud I am to call you mine and how much you are loved. Since the moment you came into this world, I knew that you would be special...and special you are.

At one years old, you are crawling like crazy, and saying all kinds of words like, bye-bye, puppy, hi, Auntie, uppie (up),that, dada, mama...you are so smart. You can stand up by yourself, and feed yourself. Your favorite person is William for sure; everywhere he goes, you go. He loves being your big brother and takes such good care of you. He brings you toys, and reads to you and comforts you when you cry.

You have the most wonderful personality; you are happy all the time, all we have to do is look at you, and you start laughing. You love to sing and listen to music and you love to be read to. You're feisty too and we love that about you.

You just had your check up and you are 31 pounds, and 31 inches long, and yes, like your brother, you have a huge head at 51 centimetres. (mine is 55)

I can't imagine this family or this planet without you in it. You truly are my little angel and you bring joy to everyone who meets you. My prayer for you is that you would grow to be strong and healthy, that you would be kind hearted and full of grace and compassion just like your daddy and your brother too. But most of all that you would know how wanted and loved you are by me, your brother and your daddy and by God.

Love,

mama
