They get into their very own set of trouble. Cadan getting in the freezer to help himself to some ice cream.
Or climbing down the heating vent to retrieve the toys he just threw down there.
Kai gets into his fair share of trouble...only his sort of trouble scares me enough to make a mad dash up the stairs as he somehow figured out how to get around the barricade, or stopping him from sticking the keys in the outlet. Don't worry, I didn't stop to take a picture of those near-death experiences.
But despite these harrowing moments, there are the sweet faces that make me smile and forget why my heart is racing or my legs cramping from the marathon sprints I make to keep these two safe.
We had a great birthday bash full of balloons, friends, family and plenty of mayhem.
Grandpa and Baba and Grandma and Pap "P" and Nana and Papi... all came to make it a really special time for both us and the boys!!! It really meant a lot to us to have our family celebrate with us the family we have begun together! Last year I was coming home from the hospital with Kai on Cadan's first birthday... I told Cadan... "This year I am giving you a brother on your birthday... don't expect this EVERY year!!!" This year we are celebrating them both together!
Well, the sun finally came out the other day and we all rushed outside to soak up any little rays of sunshine we could before the clouds could come back.
Kai was a little slow to warm up...
But Cadan seemed like frolicking in the sun was in his blood!
Even the dogs seemed to be soaking up some extra vitamin D...
Just when Kai started to explore... my camera battery died. Sigh. I guess all good things come to an end. Oh Spring, we are so desperate for you to get here so we can enjoy being outside again!!!
Once we got a taste of being outdoors the cloudy, cold, damp weather could not keep these boys from the sandbox they got for their birthday! Kai wasn't really sure he liked the texture of the sand, but he was the one that threw the biggest fit about having to go inside that day!!
Is this year flying by for anyone else? We packed and moved and unpacked and then before we knew it, Dave was leaving for Israel...and in the blink of an eye, mid-March comes rolling by! Life gets so busy and it is easy to forget to take some time and love on those around us! Thank you to those who have been lovin' on us during this busy season of our lives. It hasn't gone unnoticed.
All my love,
Becca
