so its been a minute

I had been soooo good at posting, but alas, I have been negligent lately. So much to say. The boys are doing great. Avery is just growing in his language skills by leaps and bounds. Last wednesday (17th) was my birthday and Adam was making dinner, Avery walked into the kitchen and said "what are you making daddy" Adam was just blown away. He also likes to refer to himself in 3rd person, so we will hear "Avery doesn't like that" or "Avery had pizza for lunch" (which he only gets on fridays but if you ask him he has it ever day. His newest is when he is mad, or doesn't want to do something he used to say back "No" in his little resistent voice... which he would also get in trouble for. Well the last few days he'll say (in the same resistent voice) "NO, Thank You" like since he said the thank you part it is okay... he's learning quickly that it doesn't work either.

AJ is just my sweet little boy. If you look at him he'll just SMILE back at you. A smile that just lights up his whole face. On the 13th we went to a dinner for Mariah's birthday. We got back and AJ threw up and was felling warm. We took his temp and it was 103.4 after a call to the doctor we got it under control (although it took over 48 hours for the fever to go away and stay away. But I remember he was so tired, and so still (which isn't him), and he was laying on my shoulder and in the midst of not feeling well i looked down at him, and he just smiled at me. Like a "its okay mommy" smile.

I was talkin to Adam last night, and said I just couldn't imagine my life without these boys. It is as if they have always been here... i guess in a way they have always been in my heart, as I prayed for the kids that I would have one day long before I ever had them... or even had met Adam.

Thank you Lord, for my wonderful family!
