Where does the time go?

This girl just turned nine. She is every bit her mother. She has a strong personality where everything is almost always black and white and once she sets her mind to something, it takes an act of God to change it. She worries to much and takes the weight of the world on her shoulders sometimes. She also knows way to much about politics for any nine year old.
She also has a heart for God and is amazingly thoughtful and kind. She has a gift of being able to look into a person's soul and sees things in people that others miss. She's also very smart and more talented then she realizes. Did I mention Funny? Cause she is. Natural comedic talent( and I fully expect an Oscar from her someday, Right after she cures cancer or teaches school in Sierra Leone, Africa.) She gets that funny stuff from her Mommy too :) She is a blessing and I love being her mommy

This big man is 6. And since he started life at 12 lbs. 1 oz. and is currently the same size as his sister, he uses it to his advantage. He loves to push his sister's buttons. Don't let the sweet smile fool you. He likes things to be just so and doesn't do well with keeping his promises to his sister. We're working on that.
He's also too much fun to be around. He's even funnier then his mother truth be told and can bring a laugh to everyone. He's got a sweet and sensitive spirit and like his great grandpa Leo, he makes a friend where ever he goes. He can also pray like no one's business. He is a blessing and I love being his mommy.

This little man is going to be 2!
He's the one with a strong personality.
He knows what he wants and he tries to get it even if it means giving his mommy a heart attack in the process . He has bitten his cousin. Hit his brother or sister on occasion and lets out a blood curdling scream should his brother or sister get in the way. Sometimes when your the youngest you've got to fight for ground. He's also very sweet and loving and a pure joy to be around. His laugh is contagious, he loves to help with laundry, play trucks with his brother and have his sister twirl him around. He shares most of the time and even at almost two he is able to see how to help someone who is hurting. Sometimes he takes a cup of milk to his cousin who is upset, or comes running to give a hug to an upset brother or sister. He is a blessing and I love being his mommy.
