Nuggets in November

Brent is feeling better and the three of us successfully avoided getting it! I told Brent to kinda keep his distance from me and the kids this past week but Wyatt has been chasing him around the house for a few days very worried and asking, "Daddy? All done boogah nose?" (Brent never had a cold, but it's the only thing Wyatt correlates to being sick. Precious, huh!?)

It had been weeks since I uploaded any pictures to my computer which is completely out of character for me. These last few weeks have been about finding balance again and it takes a lot out of you to stand upright when you've been toppled over for such a long time. I'm so excited the holidays are coming up knowing that our family gets a chance to regroup. We have so much to be thankful for.

I snuck into Callie's room late last night to see if she wanted to watch Shrek 3 with me since it was on TV. (First, I tried waking up Wyatt - he was having none of it.) Of course, she was passed out too because it was so late, but I saw this scene at the foot of her bed and thought I might literally melt right there.

She had asked me earlier in the night if she could take some plastic food up to bed with her. I didn't care so I let her. But, when I saw why she had done it, and also saw that she made sure to give each critter their own piece of food, I was completely overwhelmed and fell in love with that curly angel in her crib all over again.

These kids... Light. Up. My. Life.

frances does that too- she ends us grabbing a ton of stuff from the playroom and then puts it all in bed with her.
