Animal Lover

Our little Oliver is an animal lover, for sure. He even gives his animals kisses and has me "nurse" them.

So sweet.

Heartbreaker

Sometimes I look at my children and I love them so much it's heartbreaking.  When Ellis was first born, I felt like my heart just cracked wide open.  I started to look at other parents in the grocery store or in magazines and think, "Ohhh, so that's how much they love their child...."

When I look at this sweet face, my heart breaks all over again.  I am so thankful for these reminders of my intense love for my precious children.

Smiles & Hugs

These are the things that melt a mama's heart:

Mama Love

They say boys always love their mamas.  Thank God for that.  

'Cause this mama loves her boys fiercely.

More V-Day

A few more photos from our Valentine's Day, and a funny story:

We have a heart-shaped pancake mold, which I almost never use, so I busted it out yesterday morning and made heart-shaped pancakes. Ellis seemed to be behind the idea and excited, until I put a heart-shaped pancake on his plate.

"Can you give me give me the ghost cookie cutter?"
"Um...why?"
"So I can make my pancake ghost-shaped."

Naturally. So, I had heart-shaped pancakes, and Ellis had ghost-shaped pancakes. Whatever.

Then we made Valentines...

...and loved on each other.

The end.

Love, Love, Love

Happy Valentine's Day!  

I'm spending the day with two of the great loves of my life.

 Love.

 Love.

 Brotherly love.

More brotherly love... 

 ...and more.

 Loves his mama.

Loves his cars.
