Gavin 3, Emilyn 6 months

I like to add memories of my kids when it seems appropriate.  With all the milestones I am marking I wanted to share our children's milestones too.  Gavin is entering his stage of three.  We are leaving behind the toddler-dom and I can tell you, three-year-old tantrums are something to be feared!  I remind myself everyday how blessed I am to have two beautiful children who are both amazing in such different ways.  Emilyn is our "little spitfire" who adores her big brother.  I take a time out each day to snuggle her, smell the baby smell and love every second of being home with our baby.  I hope that years from now I will look back and know I grabbed every moment I could with her.  In these photos Gavin is just how I want to remember him at this age, spiderman-wearing, snow-playing peanut butter and jelly sandwich-crazed little man.  (Hence I left the remnants to be saved, not photoshopped away!)
