I'm brand new at this, so here goes nothing:
I'm always taking pictures of my kids, and looking for new things to do with all the ones I take. Its been a wonderful photo opportunity, with all the snow and being overcast, for outdoor pics. We've had a lot of fun, but they are getting a little stir crazy. Kaleb has been army crawling all over the house with a nerf gun, and Kylee has set up a restaraunt for her dolls, complete with menus and artwork, in her bedroom. Kylee is a quiet kid, who will spend hours alone entertaining herself or happily at my side in the kitchen. Kaleb is full of life, and constantly keeps us entertained with his stories. To say he has a big imagination is an understatement. I don't think "down time" is in his vocabulary. Every day, I see my daughter become more and more like me, and is an incentive to be the best person I can be. It's an amazing gift and completely overwhelming to know how much influence you have on them realizing their full potential. That is the ultimate goal in my life: to be a good mother.
