Brothers

Finally, I was able to snap some beautiful pics of Sullivan & Theo together. These were taken this week in our hotel room in San Antonio. Now that Sully is smiling, making noises and kicking, Theo is starting to really warm up to him. It's been a slow process, one that Eric and I have never pushed, figuring that in his own time and way he'd fall in love with Sullivan. I've been patiently waiting to capture pictures of my little loves like this, totally raw and in love on Theo's terms. A bond is forming, and it's simply adorable.

As for our SA trip, more to come....

Happy Halloween

"I llooovvee candy" was the first thing Theo said to me this morning. He's been anxiously waiting for today to arrive. He picked his costume all by himself; a scary, but friendly dinosaur. Adorable. This was his first time going trick or treating. He looked like such a big kid, walking down the sidewalk with his Thomas the Train bucket. Sullivan slept through our courtyard potluck and all the festivities. Next year! And before then, I promise to adjust the red eye feature on my camera....at least we all look spooky!

Happy Halloween!

12 Weeks

Our little chicken is already 3 months old! And let me tell you, he's the sweetest little Sullybean on earth. I'm totally freaked by how fast he's growing and how quickly time is moving. If I could pause our life right now, I'd do it in a second. This phase is so calm and sweet. His little giggles make my eyes tear up, the happiness I feel is more than I ever could've imagined all those days with him growing in my swelling belly, wondering if the love would be as big as it is for Theo. When he smiles, he looks just like Theo. All other times, I see a bit of me. The thing that gets me most is his love and admiration for Theo. Every morning, I lay him on a blanket in the living room next to Theo. He rolls over to see him clearly and then stretches his arms and legs, blowing bubbles and cooing like crazy with excitement. Quite possible the sweetest thing ever! I never knew I could be so in love.

Platte Valley Trolley

If you live in our city, I highly recommend taking a ride on the Platte Valley Trolley. Great views of the city, and just plain good family fun! Hurry though, next weekend is the last weekend it runs until April.
