Happy lovers holiday

We've had a streak of not so lovely behavior: writing in places that aren't allowed and smearing poop on the walls. However, she sure looks sweet asleep. 3 is a roller coaster- love the ups when she will help put dishes away, sit on my Lao and listen to me read book after book or when she's a helpful big sis and gets a passi or throws a diaper away, or is super excited to help with the family night lesson. Love being a mom, but she is a handful. For now Josh is a piece of cake. He is mellow, content and smiley.,, always happy unless he's being sat on yikes.

Love watching tim be a dad. He will play and pretend. He's a bit of a pushover (but he's working on it). I feel like are kids are so lucky. I just want to be better each day to be a good example. I for sure am working on my patience, thinking of consequences quick, and trying to remain calm. Unconditional love- something my grandma was/ is a great example of. I am feeling very blessed and loved... Eventhough it's cold in our house (new furnace coming).

Addie and Hazel sound a lot alike. You say 3 is a roller coaster, but I was hoping Hazel would be better the closer she got to 3. I guess I have a lot more in store for me. Love the sleeping picture. So cute!

That last picture of you and the kids is so sweet! I'm not excited if the 3's are going to be worse than the 2's. Don't know if I can handle any more crying than what I have now. I'm also sure you are very patient. I wish I could get better at the quick consequences instead of always sending LaNea to her room. LOVE to hear how you guys are doing!
