Sleep?

I have put the kids down for bed and both seemed really tired. They have been in their room now for about 20 minutes and they are horsing around in there. I don't mind if they want to play, but they were getting pretty loud so I went in to tell them to quiet down. What do I see? Nola playing the push popper like a guitar and Robbie using his sithes and a wicket basket as drums. They are both meowing and informed me that they are a family band of kittens. 

All I could do was smile, tell them to be a little quieter and let them play. Even now, I am laying in bed listening to them play. These really are the sweet moments - hearing them play on their own. How grateful I am for the relationship Nola and Rob have. They make my heart smile :)

Fav phone pics - Doug and the kids

Doug is amazing, in so many ways. One of the best - Doug as a Dad. He is so loving and truly engaged with his children. Often, after leaving Doug and the kids alone, I will find the camera filled with pics he took of them and him. They are some of my most cherished possessions. 

Here are my fav from my phone. Love you Daddy! You are so perfect.
