Good Morning!


I know you're probably thinking, "Is it Halloween?", Or maybe you're thinking, "What is that poor girl covered in?" Well either way, or whatever else you may be thinking, here is the story behind the mess. I wake up this morning with Zion lying next to me, which has become a regular occurance at our home. Now for those who know me well, I'm not a morning person, what so ever! I like silence, and usually try to keep my eyes closed as long as possible. So as I lie in bed, trying to soak up as much serenity as I can, before I start my day, I hear Eric from the bathroom saying, "did you see what our daughter did?" I reluctantly opened my weary eyes to behold Zion covered with black smudges. I crawl out of bed to go to her for a better look. As I reach her I ask, "what is ....", before I can finish my question Zion says while batting her eyes at me, "eyes mommy, look! That answered it for me. You see, when ever I put my mascara on myself Zion calls it 'eyes'. And I'll admit every now and then I'll put just a little bit on her just for fun. I don't know how she got it, but kids always seem to find a way. In shock, I look around my bedroom for the culprit, as I scan my bed I see that little miss Zion wasn't just lying next to me this morning, oh no on the contrary. She also left me a masterpiece on my bed sheets right next to my pillow. What a sweet heart. I think she got a little carried away with the 'eyes'!

Oh, my sweet boy, I tried to get a shot or two of his teeth. The first picture is pretty good, then the last one I got a nice drool shot for ya'll. For teething he's actually doing pretty good, he's a tooper. I love this age, so happy, and smily all the time, then after a couple years they start talking back, and tell you "no!" to almost everything, and throw temper tantrums, and draw on your walls, and put mascara on your bed......oh I'm sorry, I seem to have gotten a little carried away! I love you Zion, and Ezekiel, I'm blessed to have such wonderful, happy, loving kids, who love me no matter what.

That is so funny about Zion! I'm still waiting for Emmy to get into my make-up . . . she hasn't done it yet. And what a little sweetie Ezekiel is. I just want to squeeze his cheeks!

Haley,
It's Amy, how are things in Texas? Your kids are darling! We have a blog now (you are even one of my friends;-) I hope things are going well, even though I will never forgive you for leaving me without a fabulous hairstylist! j/k
