Our little ones sure are a blessing and a gift, even on the worst days. Over the last month Avery has been suffering from acid reflux. This has been pretty miserable for everyone (although it could be much worse than it is). She cries a lot, has trouble eating during the day, and only sleeps 4-5 hours at a time at night. This results in a very tired Momma.
Nonetheless, she is such a joy to us. When she is feeling good, she is full of smiles. She loves to smile most at her big brother. Scott certainly had some adjusting to do when Avery first came around, but now he has warmed toward her and is such a sweet big brother, giving her lots of kisses and always wanting to help her stop crying (usually this means trying to shove a pacifier in her mouth). The other day I thought he was trying to poke her eye out and couldn't figure out why he was being so aggressive. I then realized he was trying to wipe her eye that has the blocked tear duct, like Mike and I do.
So, while I am usually in a sleep-deprived state, sometimes get weary of crying kids, and on occasion think for a moment that putting the kids in daycare and going back to teaching would be easier, I love my days of being at home with these two precious little ones. I wouldn't trade this wonderful life that God has given me for anything.
Scott loves having his picture taken. We call this his cheesy grin.
Avery deep in thought, but not crying, thanks to the hospital pacifier. I hope we never lose it because you can't buy them!
Here's our smiley girl
She sure loves her big brother!
Such a sweet boy!
