Spring is in full swing around here! Whit had his first Pee Wee baseball practice Monday night! The whole family was there cheering him on! Kennedy is having a ball playing soccer! I am enjoying watching my babies play sports!! They are loving it! Coach Greg is getting tired FAST! Whit loved every minute of baseball practice. I think his Daddy loved every minute of it too. He loves that Whit loves everything he does. :) I am sure this is the first of MANY, MANY, springs at Mill Creek. :) 
We've got lots of new skills going on around our house lately! :) Whit asked me today to write his name on a paper when he was drawing. I wrote it and went back to making dinner. I turn around to a little smiling 3 1/2 year old boy so proud of himself. He WROTE HIS OWN NAME!!! HELLO! Bring on the tears. Yes, I cried. I cried when he wrote a W, and I cried when he wrote his name. :) He's getting so big!!!
Her very first sandwich made by herself. She was so proud of herself! She is growing up way too fast! They both are!!
I remember the very first picture that I took of Kennedy when I realized she was no longer a baby, but a little girl. She was sitting on my floor in the hallway and had on a yellow shirt and the biggest smile. I remember thinking how could this be? Maybe it's her new haircut, or maybe it is turning 5, but my BABY looks more and more grown each day that passes. Go ahead and laugh and say, well duh, but to a mommy it is proof that time passes all too quickly. She's just beautiful, my Kennedy. Her heart is one of the sweetest I know. She's also full of spice, but her good defiantly outweighs the bad. ;) I love you so much sweet girl. You are so excited about being big and doing big girl things. I just want to hold your hand and keep you small. You are going to have to talk me through this. I don't know if I can handle you growing up this fast! ;) 
Today was her first soccer practice! She has been SOOOO excited about playing. :) I laugh only because I have never in my life been good at sports. I cringe when a ball is thrown my way. She was super excited about her new cleats and shin guards. She loved the outfit! It's definitely important to wear cute soccer gear! I am so proud of my girl! She did great at practice! She had a lot of fun! Stay tuned for pics of the big season!
With the best coach in the world.....her DADDY! I love that he doesn't want to miss a moment of anything.
Being a mom is by far the best title I have ever held. I love these babies so very much. I was tucking Whit in tonight and he always begs for me to lay down with him for a few minutes. He actually asks for 16 minutes. Most nights, I say ok, and climb in and rub his back for a few minutes. Tonight he says, "Lay down for 16 minutes, then we can just talk." Then this precious little boy, lays there and just grins at me, with more adoration than I even deserve in his three year old eyes. I can't help but fast forward to the future where he won't stop and adore me like that anymore. I want to soak every single minute of this in. This little boy, all 36 pounds of him, loves me so very much. I hope I can always remember that look that he gives me now. He's always adored me like that. I loved how he would look up at me when he was a baby, and now he is filled with words and still that sweet look. It's something that I haven't captured on film, but it is truly etched in my heart forever. I took a moment tonight and thanked God for you, my Whit. I am thankful for each and every moment we share with you. I don't deserve to be your mom, but I am SO thankful God gave you to us. I hope that when you are all grown up, you still know how much I adore you. I'll never forget the way you love us. What a precious boy you are!
