Remember.....

The little things, for one day you will turn around and realize that they were the big things.

Little gifts...

Little gifts...
Pottery Barn you wonder? No a little gift of love. The best gift at christmas now decorates our home on these wintery days. Emilia my niece collected pine cones through the fall, and decorated each one with paint and glitter to match our homes. They are one of a kind originals...priceless.

Family...We share everything - even germs.

Our family is very close, I don't know what I would do without them. My sisters and I love each others kids as if they were our own. On any given day, we do not have our own children alone, but a few short our a few extra, sometimes alot extra. Thats what families are for. Overnights, snow days, and starbucks runs are always better with them. Our children (one, two, three, four, five, six) act more like siblings than cousins, but whoa to any man that tries to pick a fight with one - they get the "pack". We have taught the kids to share everything....even germs.

It started at preschool with one sniffly nose, and worked it's way through everyone including our family. Emilia just got the runny nose version, Hudson got the full blown croup, and Lily just got the leftover congestion and low grade fever version.

Being nurses, we wash hands obsessively, but Heather got it anyway. Our theory, if you have to be sick....It's better to be sick together. So, Hudson boy came over with his croupy cough, and Hudson and Lily commiserated together, while aunt Heathee went to the doctor and picked up all the older kids from school. They looked so pathetic and cute that we had to take pics.
