Three little clowns

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Nothing makes my heart happier than to see my kids getting along together. All three at the same time. Usually there's an odd girl out, but the other day they were sitting on the love sac we just inherited from my parents singing silly songs together and just having a blast. So I blew the dust off the camera I rarely pick up anymore and snapped a few photos.

Kim said...: I would LOVE for my boys to get along all at the same time for one second. That is truly a blessing. Good that you saved the moment on film. If I ever have that opportunity, I will definitely share it.; Sun Mar 29, 11:01:00 AM
Heidi Ashworth said...: I feel the same way about my kids--I never imagined how happy that would make me feel. Mine are so spread apart (19, 14, 7) that it happens VERY rarely but it is so great when it does!; Sun Mar 29, 11:15:00 AM

Kazzy said...: Such cute photos. Every time I try to take a photo of one of my boys they always ask if I am going to put it on my blog. They are kind of private. :(; Sun Mar 29, 01:48:00 PM

Bria

Bria is 12 years old (!!!) and in her SECOND year of middle school. She is growing up into such a wonderful young woman, even though it's killing me to watch her childhood be left behind. She is enjoying school, unless you're talking about math, but her math tutor is helping her to at least understand why she has to do it. She gets up every morning at 6:00 to practice her violin and is beginning to play some really difficult stuff. She may tell you she hates it, but she loves it. I know this because a mom just knows these things. She doesn't feel that she has outgrown her American Girl Doll and loves her to pieces. She loves to read and has discovered that she really likes the fantasy genre. She is such a good girl who always tries to do what's right, help with her sisters and be a friend to everyone and I'm so thankful that she's my daughter.

Chloe

Chloe is in the fourth grade this year, and absolutely loves school. She is always bursting with things to tell me (consonant clusters! science discoveries! art projects! playground drama!) as soon as she gets off of the bus each day. She is always drawing or creating something and loves to write sweet notes to people about how much she loves them. She has really taken off on the piano, and can spend hours playing each day. She especially likes to compose her own little songs and is quite good at it, too. She loves to read books about cute little puppies or kitties and still plays with her vast collection of Littlest Pet Shops often, but her favorite thing in the entire world are her American Girl Dolls, Rebecca and Chelsea. They are pretty much inseperable. Chloe is always ready with a hug and a kiss and a kind word and is a joy to be around.

Sophia

6 years old and First Grader at last! Sophia is in love with school--everything about it. She loves riding the bus, doing work stations, recess, friends, and reading. Oh, and snack time. Can't forget that. She is such a delightful child, who is constantly telling us all of the hilarious thoughts that are running through her mind. She is so active that I can hardly keep up with her and is our first child to ever be interested in sports. She took up soccer this past summer, and is looking forward to doing it again when the snow melts. She would also love to do Karate, but since that probably won't happen, she finds solace in Super Mario Brothers. Don't let any of that fool you, though. She's also about as girly as any girl comes. She loves make-up, insists on wearing dresses and skirts to school every day, and loves Barbies and American Girl and dressing up. She started violin lessons this year and has masterd her Twinkles already, because she LOVES to practice. Almost as much as she loves Super Mario Brothers. She's such a fun kid who keeps me on my toes every minute!
