Pay it forward!

A couple of days ago, as I was checking out my favorite blogs, I noticed a "concept" blog from one of my dear friends. It is based on the concept of paying it forward. Just like in the movie, where people (even strangers) do something kind for an individual and only ask that the recipient returns the favor to another person.



My friend asked for (at least) three people to comment on her blog, requesting to participate, and she will send them a special home-made surprise. They in turn ask for three more volunteers, and on, and on...

So, here I am. I only ask for at least three people who would like to recieve an item made with love by my own two hands, who are willing to do the same for someone else. It's kind of like one of those dreaded chain letters, but with a real purpose. (My unknown blogger friends are also invited to join in!)

Tribute to Eric

As Eric grows older and older, I realize how special he is. I know that every parent goes through the every day motions of life and then while sitting quietly has an "Ah, ha" moment. I have been having those moments a lot lately.

Eric has this amazingly sweet personality to him, he shares that with his Daddy. He's also adorable and super cuddly. Lately, every night right before going to bed, after a family reading of "Charlotte's Web", he wants me to lay down with him and just snuggle. I hope that never ends. But when it does I hope to have plenty of cozy memories to keep me and my cold feet warm.

Eric is also awesome at anything sports related, but he loves art, music, movies, and of course, Sponge Bob.



So, Eric, today's blog is just for you! Enjoy the spotlight, my star!

ABC's and 123's

As each of our boys have gotten older, there are comments they make that we never want to forget. Thankfully, we are lucky enough to have a camera that can record videos too! And then, of course, we have the internet to share them with you!

This first video is of Timo. He has been practicing his ABC's and 123's for kindergarten!



Then in this second video, Noah has begun his training early, and he always gets stuck on one letter near the end!
