Discovering Life Together

I remember when my sister and I were little and would argue with each other, our parents would always remind us that in the whole world we would be the ones to look after and care for each other. No matter what the disagreement, we always had to find a way to make up our differences. The result was we have been there for each through every joyful and terrible things and she is honestly the best little sister I could ever ask for.

Now that I have two kids, I really hope for them to be best friends. To have a sibling to share life’s important milestones with is invaluable. Therefore, as my boys grow together, I want to keep them involved in one another’s lives starting with us spending quality time together as a whole family. Big J is 2 and Little J is 5 months old, and it is already so cute to see them get along and have a good time together.

 

Michael and I are so blessed to have our children, and they are blessed to have each other. Having a sibling, especially one so close in age, is definitely something good and I just know that the best years are ahead.

Our Family Christmas 2011

The Christmas season is a wonderful time of family traditions, togetherness and goodwill, and I know that the spirit of Christmas often gets lost in the rush to buy gifts and go to parties so Michael and I make sure to teach our children about the true meaning of the holiday.

We let them enjoy Santa while they are little and innocent but we also teach them about the birth of Jesus Christ and that he is the true reason for the season.

In our household on Christmas Eve, we made gingerbread house, baked cookies and cooked a lot of holiday food.

Then at night, before the kids went to bed, a plate of cookies and a glass of milk was left for Santa.

These cookies were made by the loving little hands that belong to our cherished 2-year old.

My heart was filled with absolute and pure happiness as I watched my toddler’s eyes sparkle on Christmas morning when he found out that Santa ate the cookies, drank the milk and left a bunch of gifts!

Big J was so excited to find a bunch of trains in his stocking & he even helped little J in checking out what Santa left in his stocking.

After opening all our presents, I made some french toasts made out of cinnamon raisin bread with apple streusel which was a perfect Christmas morning breakfast!

Wordless Wednesday: Hooked Up to IV Fluid – Again!

As soon as I was hooked up to the monitor this morning, it showed that I’ve been having increasingly strong contractions. They were about 3-4 minutes apart despite the daily medication that I take to stop them. Thus, the doctor ordered to hook me back up to an IV. I hate being hooked up to that thing and not being able to move around much!

Our Photo Christmas Cards Holiday Tradition

I finally finished addressing our Christmas cards last night. As you all know, I take my card seriously, designing and printing it myself.  However for this year, I just ended up ordering a card off of Shutterfly but I have to admit, I am so happy the way it turned out! More
