From this season of life, I hope to never foget...

~How much we laugh.

~Me asking them, "Do you know how much I love you?" And them answering with a giggle, "SO BIG!" Then me tickling them while correcting them, "NO! So MUCH!"

~When they get frustrated trying to do something, I'll begin singing, "Just keep trying, just keep trying. No use in crying. Just keep trying...just get it done!" They start laughing as they work through their frustration and do what they originally thought was impossible.

~Isaac reminding everyone and telling us when someone has "made a bad choice."

~After taking their baths and getting wrapped in their towels, they like for us to cover them up in their towel entirely. Then we carry them in a ball to the other parent, saying, "Hey...I have this big load of laundry here for you." Then they pop out and surprise us with LOTS of laughter! :)

~Tickle bugs. "They're gonna get YOU!" And they run around screaming.

~Naomi saying she wants to do a "crap" (aka CRAFT). Or saying that she wants some more graham "crappers" (aka CRACKERS)! Haha!

~When they have a run-in with an inanimate object (like a door, a chair, wall, etc.), we playfully yell at that thing and I tell it to stop hurting my precious children. They get a good laugh out of it, and it helps to distract them from the pain they are in.

~Their love of singing and dancing. Every. Single. Day. They LOVE running around in just their undies while worshiping God. Totally undignified! :)

~The constant state of learning and growing they are in! They both ask LOTS of questions. Isaac's lately have been getting pretty abstract...asking about what's out there beyond the sky or what is under the ground we walk on or where the water goes after we flush our toilets. :) He's beginning to discover that there is more to this world than what his eyes can see...and his curiosity is contagious. ;)

~Their innocence...and purity.
