all smiles

so sarah jane is starting to smile.... not just when she is passing gas(dad)... but in response to my voice...oh how i love this little girl... i never imagined how in the world i would be able to love THREE precious children the way i do... so differently... i now understand what my mom was trying to tell me when she said, " i love all of you the very same, just differently".... i am learning that.... i am also realizing all the sacrifices that both mom and dad made for us... never complaining... just loving us the way God called(and still calls) them too... i still have A LOT to learn... but i am thankful for all my parents did( and still do) for me as their daughter... 

sarah jane is almost 6 weeks... time is FLYING... and i am begging both read and kelley to STOP getting big... they refuse...and tell sam and me that they HAVE to eat their vegetables so they can get big... whatever works, right?! read is learning so much at school... counting to 100 in english... and to 20 in spanish... kelley is learning a lot too... she is talking so much... in complete sentences... still trying to keep up with her big brother... they are all so much FUN... 

a caught a few smiles today... and my heart smiled too... 

 this one reminds me of kelley

 she's got the squinty eyes smile... but she really had no choice in the matter...

 kelley is all smiles too... even with her big 'boo-boo' on her face... 

and no little boy could be as sweet as this one...
