Life

So, I stumbled across this draft dated 9/27/10 that I forgot to post. I'll just post it now. It's so funny how kids grow right before your eyes!

Life has a tendency to go by too fast! It seems to go by faster when you have kids.
I remember when Gabriel was born, I was always looking forward to all his milestones in life; his first smile, coo, laugh, step, etc. Now, having 4 kids I don't want to witness anymore milestones (ok, I really do, but you get my point) I want them to stay in this form forever!

Elise has already given me her first coo....actually several, and I can't get enough! Call me selfish, but I want her to stay like this forever!
I can't get enough of her silly faces, like those crossed eyes as she's trying to focus on things, her little mouth making an "o" shape, her little noises....I could go on forever.

Although I want her (and all my kids) to stay stuck in this form forever, I'm excited to see what life has in store for them. I want nothing but the best for them!

Life as a mother of 4 is hectic, no doubt about that. I have one who goes to school all day and 3 who stay at home all day, one who demands my attention 24/7 (ok, so all of them do, but you get what I'm saying)
Gabriel, Brooke & Tristan just adore their new sister! Gabriel helps as much as possible. He doesn't smother her like the other two do, and he's just so sweet towards her.
Brooke is a little mama. She has to kiss her constantly, and gives Elise her pacifier when she starts crying. She loves feeding her when I give her the bottle.
Tristan loves giving kisses!! He's always been this way, and just smothers her in love. He's sometimes a little too rough, but he's just 2.
