Happy 5th Birthday Buddy!

Buddy or as he was born Spencer, had a great day today and yesterday. In fact when my parents left after celebrating tonight he cried because he didn't want his birthday to end. Buddy you are an amazing little boy. So caring, easy going, athletic, smart, handsome (you sure look like your daddy), curious, loving, a snuggle bug and I could go on forever. We really do have great kids.

I'm glad you had a great day buddy. We love you so much.

And thank you to everyone who wished our baby happy birthday. He sure felt special today.

Happy 9th Birthday Taylor!

I find myself in awe that 9 years have gone by already.

Dear Taylor,

Wow 9 years old! Boy have the years gone by fast. I try to cherish every moment of your life. Before you know it you'll be off to University, then having your own family. But I'm not going to think about that yet. To me you are still the big preemie and will always be one of my babies. You are a mature, sweet, compassionate, athletic, smart, beautiful, helpful (and the list could go on) daughter.

I can't wait to see how you continue to grow up over the next year.

I love you so much sweetie!

Love,
          Mommy   XOXOXOXO

On a side note Taylor has never liked going to school but this year she is actually excited to go and is even super helpful getting Spence into school when he is upset.
