5 years ago today

 

 Our world changed, 

  

Hosea

Phinn

   

Then we blinked and you were one.

 

And then we chased, wiped, trained, chased some more, played, read, and chased after even more and then you turned two.

 

 

 

Two to three was busy too, your imaginations took off and the world was never dull with you two around!

 

Then you turned four, and I can't think how my heart has kept up with you growing and changing and doing all the things four year old boys do!

 

 Phinn and Hosea, do you know we went to Heritage Park yesterday with you (two days before you turned 5), just like we did when you turned four.  You even wore the same clothes (your choice).  But if I look at the pictures, I spot a few changes, too many actually.  Your sleeves don't get rolled up anymore, all your jeans bar one have holes in at least one knee, your little brother now wears those cowboy boots, and the hats literally have not looked like hats for quite some time.

But some things are the same, apart from your clothes.....

you still pretty much stand side by side, together, just the way you've always been

your smiles are every bit as handsome

you make plans for jobs that need 'two mens', in fact you make plans for everything, and they always include your twin

you love being cowboys and knights and police mens and muscle mens

everyday being your Mama is an adventure, one I do not feel worthy of the privilege of having.  But I will take this adventure with a grateful heart, and with thanks and petitions to Him who blessed us with the gift of raising two boys to be two men.  Daddy and I love you monkeys, all the way to the moon and back.  With donuts.  xx 

Birthday celebrations for John John

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A sweet day for a sweet boy.
Granny visiting, Heritage Park on the train and the boat and the wagon and all the rides, back to Auntie Holly and Uncle Kurt's for hotdog roast and marshmallows and Thomas the tank engine on their big screen.

He is happy honest....... love how his smile makes him look in pain.
Happy Birthday John John x

3 years ago today.........

This sweet baby was born.....

He grew far too fast and was soon one



And then two......



But due to a technical clitch aka I can't get my computer to show me my photos only the icon and I need to do a big clean up to move photos around.... so no picture of two, I will update....

Sweet John John.  You are the darling of the family and well you know it.  Big blue eyes a tilt of the head and a quick mmmn mmn and you have us doing as you want. 
I love watching you keep up with the big boys, and still climbing up on my lap for a snuggle with my cardi wrapped round us both.  Your pudgy arms are slimming down, how I wish I could bottle the feeling of them both wrapped round my neck when you give a big bear hug squeeze.
Much love to you sweet boy, Mama loves you.
