Finally...




Layton and Chloe will pose for pictures together! I am so happy, actually ecstatic! However, as you may have noted by the pictures posted... they seem to be willing to pose together when they are messy, dressed crazy, or just in plain old silly moods! Not the kind of pictures you would want to use for the annual Christmas card. *sigh* The best example is "The Beautiful Life" picture, Chloe had just gotten caught "using" my mascara! Yes, that is mascara all over her face, not bruises from sibling altercations! (on a side comment, I was actually impressed that she was able to get mascara on her eyelashes correctly! The girl pays attention!)


They are really playing together well now and it is fun to see them in action. It seems that my house will truly NEVER be orderly again, though. At least once a day, they use all the couch cushions to build the best secret fort, ever!

I love the picture of them standing together. It makes me so joyful to seem them developing such a unique and sweet (at times) relationship. On a funny note, look at layton. He is wearing headphones that you can plug into the cordless phone so you can talk handsfree. He wore them for two whole days. He even wore them the entire time we went bowling, to Chickfila, and running errands. He claimed that he couldn't hear or breathe without it on. And would go through the theatrics of wheezing if I made him take it off. I am planning to post pics and comments on the bowling excursion the next time I blog.

I talked to a dear friend of mine tonight, Kristen. I am so very blessed to have wonderful friends, true friends. It blesses me to know that neither time, nor distance changes the real connections that God places in our lives. She is doing so well and working hard in nursing school. Please add her to your prayers because she has chosen a vocation that takes a special kind of person. A person like her!!!

Well, I guess that's all I am doing tonight. Suddenly it is after midnight and I spent way too much time browsing my pictures trying to choose which ones to post... so bowling will definitely wait till next time.

Amy, I am so happy that you have started this blog. Just think when we were growing up blogs were things that I got really messy in. (or at least that is what is sounds like I would have done in a blog!!) I get a real kick out of reading the blog and feel more connected to your family. I brag about your kids all the time and now I can force my friends to see what I am talking about. I love you so much and cant wait to get down there and hang out.

Oh Amy, thank you for being a great friend! It was good to talk to you also. I am so happy to hear all of the beautiful ways God is woking in your life.

The kids are precious. They are getting so big. They are blessed with a wonderful Mommy.

Thank you also for always for showing me God's love...unconditionally.

Hope we can catch up again soon...HUGS!

Hi Amy-
Well you've turned me into a bloger. I guess I need to start my own blog now. By the way hi...it's been years! You're mom sent this to my dad and he forward it to me. You're children are adorable. Chole looks just like you. If only Georgia was a little closer. My husband has never been out that way, he said he would like to go sometime. I would like my kids to see it too.
It sounds like everything is well with your family. We will add Tolli and her child to our prayer list. Madeline, my 4 year old, keeps track of all of our family that we pray for nightly.
Take care,
Stephanie (Glueck) Wyatt
