A picture speaks a thousand words

From the top we have Daniel's first day in Montessori, Daniel and Grace on their first day in Montessori and First class, Daniel's 4th birthday cake - Ben 10, Grace aka spider bat girl and Daniel aka Woody ready for trick or treating, cuddling with Mom, the four of us at my niece's christening  Grace's 7th birthday cake- One direction, Grace and Daniel at Grace's 7th birthday party, Daniel wearing his Dan the Man shirt that my friend gave him for his fourth birthday, Daniel building a fort out of the boxes his Christmas presents came in, Grace and Daniel ready for bed on Christmas eve, Grace - mildly happy with the Moshi monster tablet she got for Christmas, Mike and Grace on Christmas day and finally my two water babies on holiday earlier this month in Lanzarote.

I could post pictures of Grace and Daniel all day. Every time I take their picture I ooh and aah over how beautiful and perfect they are. Mike is just as bad. I'm sure people sigh when they see us coming with the "world's most wonderful kids" but I don't care. I'll bore you about them all day long given half the chance :). That's not to say that I think they are angels. Just stand outside our house on any given day and you will hear the shouting and fighting that goes on. We are probably the best form of birth control there is for our newly wed next door neighbours. But along with the whining and fighting there is so much love in this house. There are days when I skip out the door to work just to get some peace and quiet but I never forget, even for a second, what a blessing it is to be their mother.
