It has been so difficult since the flood to find time for much of anything. I realize that I need to take time for the little things. When I look back at my blog, I read it like a diary and I realize that I am glad for taking those few moments to document my favorite memories. This year has been very difficult. The boys have been so busy with their activities and Chris and I do our best to keep up with them and make sure we still have our family moments.
The boys have grown and changed so much. So to restart my blog, I thought I would write a bit about my favorite things for eac boy.
Max....My Macaroni Man. He is more and more like his faher everyday. He is still my baby but everyday he needs me just a little less. He loves to make his own lunch but he is so slow. Peanut butter goes everywhere and there are always messes after...Iwouldn't change a thing. He loves to cook and I love that he responsible for his own lunch. He loves to listen to Mozart before bed. He climbs in his bed, reads andjust listens to his music. He is soo sweet to his mommy and is always available for a good cuddle or a mommy smooch. He sings to himself and loves art, science and math. Mostly, I just love those few moments where he has a ton to say..It cracks me up. He is so quiet and then bam...you can't get him to stop talking. He and Jonah will get to telling eachother jokes and Max will laugh and laugh. You have never heard anything so sweet as my little Mackey's laugh.
Jonah...Or should I say the next Michael Jackson (80's version). Jonah is such a free spirit. He is so sweet and sensitive. His imaagination is unparralelled. Where ever we go there are kids shouting Hey Jonah, Hey Jonah. He knows everyone. One of my favorite things about Jonah is his ability to entertain. He goes to the football games and shakes his groove thing by the band and they all cheer for him. He loves it. That being said he is sweet and humble. He tries hard and plays all his sports with enthusiasm and joy. He is soo cute with his piano teacher. He loves to listen to people and their stories and he is always coming hometelling me about other peoples lives. He cares about other people and wants to help them.
Christian....What can I say about my first born. He is smart, funny, driven and just a cool kid. The two thing people say most about Christian is "His eyes are gorgeous" and "he has the best manners." Things a mother loves to hear. All the boys love music but Chirstian is developing a passion. Today foot ball was canceled and he spent three hours playing piano. He loves it. He loves learning and loves to work hard. Christian strives to be the best he can be without wishing someone to be "worse" than him. He is the kind of kid who is good at a lot of things.
He is a fantastic big brother and loves to take time to teach the boys what he had learned. I think Christina going to middle school was hardest on Max because Christian always take such good care of him. When he doesn't have practice he wants to be on the field with his brothers.

Oh boy, the trouble I am going to have when they start liking girls...Yikes.
There is no doubt that I have been blessed beyond my greatest imagination and I will continue to watch these boys grow and change into men. I pray that weare doing the best we can for them and I look forward to their future.
