Special Time with Sophia!!!

A few weeks ago we went for a walk, for the first time without a stroller. It was Alex's idea for the girls to hold his hands! Such a wonderful brother!

Christophe and Bina! He has a way with the ladies!

Kristin and Sofi... doesn't girl look good on her?

What my girls do when they want the same toy...

Sofi hanging out with Daddy!

Tyler learning to FB with Ashtin!

Getting bigger

The girls are doing so many fun things that are particular to toddler years. They are hugging and loving on each other like only twins can do. They are also fighting more than ever. The other day Sofi tried to steal a toy from Bina. I gave her a choice... give it back or go to bed. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED... Bina gave Sofi the toy so Sofi would not have to make the choice!!! And... I have always thought Bina was more shy of the two... but the other day at the store she was waving and saying HI to each person that walked by our cart!!! I could not believe it but enjoyed every second. Even though Sofi is tough bully who steals toys from everyone... if you are crying she is the first one to sit next to you and rub your head to bring you comfort! These girls are gems... one of a kind gems. I adore them!!!

A POLICE OFFICER'S CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the streets, not a person was stirring, 'cept an officer on the beat. As he quietly patrolled the town with great care, children and parents slept peacefully there. The officer was clad in his blues and his vest, gun on his hip, always looking his best. He'd just pulled aside for a quick bite to eat, When all of a sudden, out on the street, A bright light appeared from out of nowhere, He shielded his eyes from the brilliant glare. 'Twas an angel of the Lord at the squad's rear, He smiled and spoke, "Dear Officer, don't fear." "I've been sent by God with a message for you who faithfully serve while wearing the blue. He wants you to know He loves you all, He's pleased with the way you've answered His call. "To protect and serve others, so selfless you've been, Your bravery and kindness have known no end. Even in tragedy, when nights became long, You've helped countless strangers by being strong. "God sees your heart, the joy and the pain, He knows the profession can often bring strain. So he sent me here to let you know, That as you patrol, He goes where you go. "As you protect others, your Father protects you, His angels go with you, His Spirit does, too. No bullet too fast, no bad guy too strong, I'm sent to make sure that your life will be long. "So fear not the night, and fear not the day, fear not the threats that might come your way. I'm sent to accompany you on your beat, There's not one moment you're alone on the street." The officer sat stunned by the love of His God, He bowed his head, with a tear gave a nod. As the officer said thank you, the angel took flight, "God's got your back, carry on, and goodnight."

OH I FORGOT!!!!

When we were eating Thanksgiving dinner Alex looks at me with all seriousness and says, "Mommy, did the turkey die?"
