It's Mother's Day and exactly one month from my last post. (sorry)

The picture above was taken april 2nd during Liam's birthday party. Ross came out for about half an hour to join the family as we celebrated our two year old red head. Ross looks stronger and healthier now; a month later.

First, props to my kiddos!! I am so honored to be your mommy!! I feel such pride and love when I hold you in my arms! We absolutlely can't get enough lovin' and kissin' in our house!! You bring so much JOY to my life and daddy's.

Myra Kate is truly the sweetness of the earth!! Myra is a bit timid at times, but being four years old has brought a bundle of fearsome conversations, thoughtful prayers, laughing smiles, and revealed to us the compassionate heart of this angel of a girl!! Myra's favorite name for her dolls is Ella. She loves Rapunzel and Disney's Tangled. She calls a girls sweetheart her "honey". In context: "Mom, is Corey Kirsten's honey?" ha!!

Myra's prayers are full of love and thankfulness. Myra is so affectionate and loving. Her patience is far greater than mine at times!! Myra can dribble the basketball still and she is learning to ride a bike. She has about four books memorized cover to cover and "reads" them to us often. I've got to video this!! Myra is pure sugar!! Although, she is a healthy eater and is very concerned about eating healthy foods. (score!!)

Liam Dale is a riot! He is full of energy and laughter. Liam means "Strong willed warrior" and that about describes him!! He is very independent and easily frustrated at times, but he laughs so hard he cries! We all cry with laughter when he gets going! The faces he can make are priceless! He runs and gets the "dad duys" through the house with a wooden spoon sword. He prefers the spoon over the actual toy sword. Liam loves people to play with him. If you play with Liam for five minutes, he will be your best friend!

He can play and imagine for hours! HE talks often and quite a lot more now that he's two. We don't always understand what he is saying, but it is seriously interesting and adorable!! Liam hugs me so tightly and so fiercely!! He loves to "nugga" (snuggle) with us and is even more affectionate than our Myra. Liam can kick a ball with precision and accuracy. It's fun!!

Myra and Liam together are best friends. They hold hands and hug through out the day. In between fusses, of course. There really are no words to explain the sibling love they have. It is God in the flesh.

Thank you Father for the gift you have given me. To be a mother to Myra Kate and Liam is the most humbling and honoring gift. May we raise them to love You and seek Your ways always.
