Our shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story.

Little Climbers

Kenzie is our climber! Wow is she ever good at it. A few mornings ago the kid decided to wake up really early, as in 4:45 am and well there was no way Jeral and I were getting up, so we closed the door to our bedroom, put a movie on for the kids and and let them have free reign of our room as we tried to be only slightly aware that they were running around. And oh I got them a snack and drink each too. Well our en suite has no door, so the kids also got friend reign of the bathroom too, and when this got quiet I bolted up and put my glasses on to find this. Kenzie had climbed on the toilet and was in my medicine cabinet. More baby proofing here we come.


Actually yesterday she climbed up on my down stairs desk and started pulling the pins out of the pictures and handing them to Jaris (the pins) and he thought it was fun to put them in his mouth. Luckily we were right there and stopped that right away and when Jeral took the kids out that night I took every pin I could find in the house and got rid of it. Better safe than sorry!
And here we have two little climbers. I was bring in the groceries and they disappeared on me. I found them sitting in the front seat eating the treats! I love this picture because it so shows their personalities. Kenzie the life of the party, and Jaris the laid back go with the flow. I have a feeling that later in life when they are about to get in trouble for doing something he may say, "Mommy I was just following Kenzie and going with the flow!" And to that I will try not to laugh and then remind him he is still in trouble.

Seriously they are so cute!!!!

Kenzie and Jaris are both talking up a storm. It is so fun listen to them talk in their own little language, and I am enjoying understanding more words. The goal for Jaris was to have 10 words by 18 months of age and well tonight I actually counted how many words he has and we are at 15 for sure and then about 5 more or so that are iffy. I love realizing that the goals that were set for my son he has more than met every time. I love how is older sister helps to motivated him. I think after this last Physio appointment a few weeks from now we will fully be released from all the programs Jaris has been a part of, and I am so thankful for this. A year ago we were still so unsure about what Jaris would be able to do, and a year later watching him run around, playing, talking, and just being a little boy is so amazing! I am a proud mama. Proud of both my beautiful, kiddos!

We ship our birds tonight and then on Wednesday we leave for a fun little get away. Where are we going? Where else would we go for just a few days. To the lower mainland to hang out with some friends and then one of the funnest Aunties and some of the bestest cousins and a pretty great uncle too! I know that trip like this mess up the routine, however we are still trying to get the routine back in order since our last trip in June! Anyways I really want to get to bed early tonight so I will sign off! Blessing to all!!!!
