This will come in handy someday...

I can't even remember when I captured this little gem...sometime before the holidays, I think.  I do know that will hang on to this video and show it to the two of them when they are older and fighting with each other.  Can you believe how sweet Anderson is to Adeline?  I love these two!!  

For the love of art...

Anderson and Adeline have been really, really, really into coloring and art projects for the past few months.  Art, drawing, and writing are things that did not interest Anderson before the age of 4 but he is loving it now.  Almost every day he asks if we can do a "project" or if I can "print off coloring pages for _____ (some upcoming holiday or event)".  He has asked to have an "art show" in the evening and wants to invite grandparents and neighbors to come over and look at his art.  He said he would make hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone to eat and wanted to sell his art.  Our little entrepreneur!  I think he's starting to clue into the fact that his mom is not the most crafty of moms.  Poor kid!  Adeline, at 18 months, has the attention and focus for coloring and drawing that must be ingrained in girls.  Or maybe it's her obsession with doing anything and everything her brother is doing.  Either way...the girl loves to color and will stay with it for as long as her big brother.  Here's a cute video of the two of them coloring together.  Notice Anderson critiquing my coloring ability...rascal.  Enjoy!

The Laughter of Children

One of my most favorite sounds is the sound of my kids laughing.  Anderson laughs so hard when we read stories to him that he frequently pees his pants.  These are two videos from November that I never got around to posting.  Anderson is learning to blow up a balloon at Grandma Shorty's and is being coached by Grandpa Mark.  He was laughing a lot harder before I started filming.  Ha!  The video below is of Adeline just being silly with a toy bucket on her head.  She is such a joy to be around...I swear, the kid is always happy!   Enjoy...
