My not so little loveys

March is over.  March for me is birthday month.  Both of my children were born in March.  Always makes for a busy month.  My son, Thomas, just turned 14 (gasp!) and my daughter, Olivia, just turned 12.  Where did those years go, I ask you??  I feel that since I have still not lost the "baby weight" it is unfair of the child to grow up! :-)  But grow up they have.  Thomas is 6'.  He shall be a big, strapping man.  Knew that at his birth! Lordy! He was 10 pounds at birth.  I never got the chance to put him in the cute newbie clothes.  He came out ready for 2 month clothing!  Livi, on the other hand, is as dainty as you please.  She was a 9 pound, chubby, sweet smelling, rolly polly at birth, but she is so dainty now.  One of my favorite things to do on laundry day is look at her clothes.  (Shhh, don't tell her I get all sentimental over her clothes) Her clothes are... well, hate to repeat myself, but...dainty. 

Anyway, I made them cards for their special days.  I got all sentimental in what I wrote inside, and basically did the "Mom thing."  Who knew I would turn into my own mom and cry at the drop of a hat?  Sorry Mom for rolling my eyes when you cried when I was younger.  Didn't get it.  Got it now. 

They asked if I was going to put their cards up on my blog.  I asked if they wanted me to.  They asked if I wanted to.  I said...well anyway...long story shorter...here they are:

Thomas' card:

Thomas has always been into animals.  Eagles and wolves in particular.  And the sentiment...so true.  He DOES inspire me.  Leaves me in awe.  Leaves me speechless (in a good way), and I could not be more proud of the man he is becoming.  (Hang on, I need a hanky.)  Question:  That smudge above the eagle was not there when I gave him the card.  I do not remember seeing it when taking the photo.  Where'd it come from?  Hmmm. Let's pretend it's not there!

Olivia's card:

Livi is my sparkle girl.  Or "sparkletastic" as she would say. :-) We are in the process of painting her room. (Please do not ask me how long we have been " in the process." )   Pool party is a pretty close match to the color she picked.  Livi stamps with me frequently.  She has a wonderful sense of fun and color to the cards she designs.  Me, well a little more understated.  I tried to bling it up for her.  She was pleased.  Made me cry.  Olivia is what I call an old soul.  She is wise beyond her years, her humor is sharp, but kind, and her advice...better than Dr Phil's.  Swear!  When I get all muddled up in "Life," she can make things simple for me.  She knows how to get to the point.  I admire her.  I want to be her when I grow up. (Where's that hanky?!)

Yes, the Lord blessed me with my children.  Noted, by me, every day.

Thanks for stopping by.  I would be grateful for you if you want to sign up as a follower of this blog.

Now, I'm going to go kiss my kids.  They're sleeping, but I'm a gonna kiss 'em anyway!
