Two

I snapped this picture while we were in Target this weekend. I was struck by this sight because this picture tells you so much about my little boys. Evan rides like this all the time. He's usually waving at every passerby, saying hello, and clapping his hands as if to say Hurry up Mommy! He's a sit-on-the-edge of your seat kinda guy--literally! He is the self-appointed chair of the welcome committee everywhere we go. He's friendly and chatty; my boy is certainly no wallflower. He loves life and his excitement is contagious. People often tell me how great his smile is. He's a people magnet. There's something about him that makes you want to be in his space.

You see Ryan? He's a laid back kinda guy. He sits back and takes the world in in his quiet and thoughtful way. He's cautious. You have to put in a little work to win him over, but once you do you know that it was so worth it. My boy will bless you with the biggest sweetest smile, and you'll smile too. Once you're in with him you're in. He's loyal like that. My first born is affectionate and sensitive. I think he's going to the type who loves with his whole heart. This is a good thing. He's mastered the art of hug-giving. He gives the biggest tightest hugs, and when I hold him I feel like I'm the one who's in his arms.

The older they get I can see them morph into these distinctively different little people. I look at them sometimes and I absolutely awestruck. They are truly amazing little boys. If it seems like I'm all on their jock, it's cause I am. Their mama is in love.
