Babies

Sorry it has been so long since the last post -- I have just been busy with kids and passports and every time I would sit at the computer was very limited or I was checking passport status'. We are waiting on one more which should come today. Hooray! As you can see our baby birds have arrived as of a few days ago. I lifted Ethan up to the nest to check because we hadn't in a few days and he said the eggs were gone. I was a little confused and asked if they were gone or if the birds had hatched. He clarified with 'hatched,' but still a little unsure I had to check myself and there they were -- three baby birds (two eggs have not hatched so far) they are so cute. Their eyes are still not open and when I was up looking at the nest the noise made them think I was their mama back with food because their little beaks were open and ready. The miracle of life is so remarkable even in its smallest forms. Ethan and Aiden love their frog and duck towels (thanks Grandma Brewerton in Canada). Aiden was going for a Episode III Darth Vader 'look'. Kids are so cute right out of the tub -- maybe that's because we know that bedtime is shortly to follow. I felt a little guilty for the thought I had as my boys napped (together, yeah) other day -- I was thinking about how much I seem to love my children when they are asleep, but upon pondering my thoughts a little more it is not that I feel so much more love for them because they are asleep, but it is always I time I find myself reflecting on how wonderful they are, how blessed God allowed me to be their mother and how I need to do better as a parent so I can have them forever. My kids are so awesome (even when they whine/cry for three days straight - with Tylenol - when their gums are itching to break teeth). We still have no teeth for Aiden.
