Naked toes

Tessa likes to kick her socks off and Isaac doesn't like it when his little sister has "naked toes". Here he is trying to put her socks back on for her - what a helpful brother!

Little gardener

Isaac loves helping me water the plants on the back porch. The other night I filled up the watering can with the hose and let him do the watering while I fixed dinner.


A little while later I heard the hose sprayer and walked out to find this! I guess he needed a little more water and decided he could do it himself! Each day I am amazed at how much he is growing up and becoming more and more independent!

Sittin' pretty

Tessa is getting really good at sitting up and loves to sit in her big brother's chair. She is also figuring out that dresses are really fun to wear because she can pull them up over her belly and chew on them!

I wanted to post this photo of John as a baby - even though everyone says that Tessa looks just like me, I think she really looks like her daddy sometimes - especially in this photo. She definitely has his big blue eyes!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I get to celebrate being a mother to these two wonderful little people! They fill my life with so much joy. Happy Mother's day to all of you moms who are reading this - hope you have a great day!
