Let them be little

Finally, 2 out of three are fully functioning, 2 wheeling!!!



Always nice to have a field trip to the Fire Station!

Children's Museum in Austin, but pretty much looks ordinary, considering it's Tyler!


Pres. Monson's address at the end of Conference spoke of the toys on the floor and the ubiquitous fingerprints that I will surely someday soon miss. I do cherish these little angels. (Not that they always act like angels...) But they tickle my heart and put smiles on my face like nothing else can.

Playing with them gives me a satisfaction that makes me realize this is what I wanted to do when I grew up. When I was Brooklyn's age I can't remember who I wanted to be, besides sliding around on the carpet arms outstretched and my foot high behind me as an Olympic ice-skater. OK, what little girl didn't dream about that? In college, I thought being a BIG TIME ad executive wearing a power suit and coming up with unforgettable slogans would be what would make me so happy. But no, it's peering through the eyes of my children and experiencing JOY with them. That is fulfilling to my soul!
