Head-Butt Black Eye!

Oh, I must be delirious! Enjoy this post while you can, I'm sure I will be deleting it after a good nights sleep! But I was just getting ready to go to bed and saw myself in the bathroom mirror. And I busted out laughing, I've got a shiner from being "head-butted" by Logan yesterday.

As with all toddler head-butts, this one came out of nowhere. Logan reared back with all his might and slammed into my cheek bone. The hit was so hard, I actually thought bone was shattered! I guessed I yelped loud enough that Logan knew I was hurt and he started kissing me right away and "signing" sorry (running his hand across his chest). After a few minutes, the pain subsided and then I sort of forgot about it until a few hours later when I walked by a mirror and thought my mascara had run. I went to wipe it away and yelped again because I realized I was rubbing a bruise.

Gary, Mason and Evan enjoyed teasing me last night and then again this morning when it was much more swollen and purple than it was yesterday. Well, if they could see how purple it is right now, they'd have a whole new round of jokes for me.

How did the only girl in the house end up with the black eye?? LOL


Believe me, the picture doesn't do it justice. My cheek is actually swollen and puffy and the purple bruisin' is much more vibrant in real life! LOL I can hope that tomorrow it's less-purple?

Agh, the perils and dangers of parenting!

Blizzards and Brotherly love!

Richmond finally gets snow! Blizzard-like conditions, over 0.0015 inches of accumulation. Surrounding area schools close, local businesses shut down. And Austin and Logan get to play in snow-no-no!



Their first "real" snow. Logan (ever looking for balls) has fun with Grandma's snowball and Austin(in the blue) shows us his "brrr" sign for how cold it is.



Then, as is Richmond's tradition, it all turned to rain and all the snow went away. Seriously, you folks that get snow after snow after snow - stop hogging it all and send us at least ONE good storm this year! Puh-leeze!!

So after the snow was gone, but it was still freezin' here, it was time for some brotherly love~

Logan was eating lots and lots of Grandma's stew and Austin was tired of waiting for him to be done!


Oh, Logan, I'm so glad you're finally done eating!
Thanks for waitin' for me, Austin! You're the best!
Austin continuing to "pat" on Logan. I mean it, I'm SOOO glad you're done! I thought you'ld never finish!
Get away from me, I get it, enuf already!

Oh, just kidding, Austin, I love you, too!

So dang sweet! I love these little guys so much. I cannot even begin to put into words how much joy they give me every single second of the day! I am so thankful to God for blessing me and my family with them. I pray for all those in process to be united soon and we continue to pray that God finds a way to open up adoptions in Guatemala again and that He cares for and watches over all the babies and children caught in the process until then.

Escape artist!

We enjoyed a warm spell here and I was letting the boys play on the deck, with the baby gate up of course. I was at the kitchen sink and this is what I saw!



Then, of course, dishes be gone, it's time to play. So we all hung out and played together for a little while. On the trampoline, you'll notice that Logan is very protective of his ball! And this was right before nap time, so don't be fooled by how "calm" they appear. Truly, this is not an "accurate" snapshot of my children! hee hee hee!
