sibling love...

Trying to get some pictures of Noah holding Ivy, what you can't see is my hand supporting her. She was too much weight for Noah and kept slowly sliding to the bed. Plus Noah's got this fake smile happening lately with pictures. I think these two look like brother and sister, although their eye colors really differ at this point. Still hoping when I look into Ivy's eyes that they'll stay that soft blue color.

At some point in my day I think it sure would be nice to just be me, no kids to tote doing errands and shopping. Time to cook a real meal or actually vacuum. That seems to be something I hardly do at all since it's so loud and obnoxious and Ivy's either with me or sleeping. But then when the three of us lay down after lunch and read with Noah I sneak out after snoozing for a minute or 20 and look at those two little angels snuggled and peaceful on the bed and wish I could freeze time and have them here always. Because I know they'll be a day when my house is empty and quiet and I don't trip on toys and constantly tidy up and I'll probably shed a tear or two.

So I guess it's all about enjoying the here and now and living in the present. How I love these two! I can't wait until they can play together, Noah's such a great brother already!
