Friday Photo Favorites

Eleanor has recently explode into a extremely playful and engaging little nymph. She adores her Daddy above all with Mary Colette as the next best. She loves all her siblings and plays, truly plays with each in their own right. But her eyes and personality gets turned up to full glow when her Daddy gets home. Watching them interact is beyond words. She is silly and cute and sweet and gives him oh so many kisses.

Ellie Roo you are just so wonderful for us.

Google Photos made this up and I thought...tear, it's too true and Woohoo easy peasy post.

Romantic Anatomy

Cuddling last night Mary Colette was explaining a game they all were playing which involved Mississippians in the Amazon rainforest and poisoned arrows. The arrows would kill the part they hit so they were only sort of effective, "but if the arrow hit the brain it doesn't matter if it a poison arrow or not because the brain tells the body what to do, it's like the King and Queen, so without it, you just die. And the lungs and heart are the prince and princess." 

Four-year old Dilemma

While snuggling on the eve of Philip's birthday George told me, "I thought boys had birthdays before girls."

"Some do"

"Yeah, well that way Daddies are bigger than Mommies, so that is was the need to have birthdays before girls."

The following morning as Avery and I decorated for Philip's birthday George approached us with the most pathetic tear streaked face. Now, in full disclosure half of us have been sick, like flu sick, this week and it started with George and well he is still not feeling great so emotions have been extra tender lately. So in a truly tragic voice he states to his big brother and me, "I will have to give my dragon blanket to Isaac because I am getting bigger." 

Breaking both Avery's and my hearts, we scooped him up and loved on him, however we could not come up with an acceptable solution to his dilemma and only discovered that this growing up business is not fun for four-year olds. And once a blanket does not fully cover oneself then it must be passed along, oh had I known this day would come I would have made a king size dragon blanket allowing my Forever Baby to stay that way.
