Brotherly Love.

I thought I would do something a little different today. I know some of you don't know these two little beings that make my world go round and some of you don't get to see them often. So I thought I would share with you my two boys; my reason for breathing and living.

What can I say about my spunky little Riley? He is a spitfire through and through. He is charismatic, funny, rambunctious, and has the sweetest smile and belly laugh you could imagine. My firstborn is almost four, which completely boggles my mind. It seems like yesterday I held him in my arms for the first time and I have never wanted to stop. He can make his mama laugh like no one else can. He is a lover of all things Buzz, Woody, Lightening McQueen (from Cars), and now Megamind. 

He has grown and changed so much over the years and I love listening to his cute little voice as he talks us through pretty much everything and my heart melts when I hear him playing with his little brother.

Riley as we know him now....wild and crazy =)

Then there is my second born. He is my strawberry blonde, docile boy. He is always so laid back and spends about three quarters of his day laughing, smiling, and making the funniest facial expressions you could ever feasibly imagine. 


I love how my youngest (for now) gets shy and meek around people he doesn't know sometimes, but it doesn't take him long to warm up and jabber your ear off. He is probably the messiest eater on the planet and if he had a personal motto it would be "the messier the better." For the little thing he is, he is a bottomless pit. He could eat from the time he wakes up til the time he hits the pillow at night and it wouldn't phase him one tiny bit. The kid loves food I tell you.

Most of all, I love the way he plays with his big brother. They love each other so much and it makes my heart beam with pride and joy when I see them sitting in their playroom together or playing on the swingset in the backyard together.

his "really mom?" face - haha

"whoa dude, whoa."

not such a big fan of the swing last year

our future race car driver =) - he looked like a natural behind the wheel

So I share with you my two little boys who in several weeks are going to be big brothers to a new little guy. I have seen their relationship grow and change so much over these past years and I can't wait to see them with their new baby brother. I know its going to be a change for them, especially in the face of everything to come, but I know they are going to love Lukas so much. I know they are going to take care of him and protect him. And I know they will show him the ways of the world as only a brother truly can. It will be beautiful and I cannot wait. 

My heart grows by leaps and bounds everyday and its because of these two little guys. So to my two amazing little boys I want to say - you have no idea how much your mommy loves you. Thank you for showing me what unconditional love and pride looks like. Thank you for keeping your mommy going and keeping her strong these past few weeks. You are my sunshine and my world and I love you both to the moon and back =)

Well friends, I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend and have a happy Tuesday! Please continue thinking of our boy and sending him your love and positive thoughts!
