Still Grinning...

Please forgive me ~ Today was my daughter's first ice skating lesson ~

and I'm still grinning from ear to ear!

There were definitely more downs than ups...

But after sitting a bit and taking it all in (smiling all the way)

she'd get right back up and try again.

Once she got a little help, she was content to move around doing her own thing.

After an hour she was not ready to leave.

It was enormously rewarding to watch her out there.

She truly makes my heart sing.

true love

Happy February! (now where exactly did January go?)

The little guy is really moving these days. Erin is so impressed with his new ability to pull himself up. It's such a pure joy and love that she expresses when she gets so excited about his new moves. "Mom come look, he did it"! She loves him, she really loves him. Being an only child I love watching these little siblings, their interactions. I know the day will come when they won't always be so lovey dovey but until then I will cherish these moments.
