He has been nicknamed by many as Smiley.
He has cheeks that you always want to squeeze.
He has a giggle that when you hear him you want to giggle.
He has so much love in his heart that it gives me great joy.
He has a love of swimming and pretty much all sports.
He has a love of baking and makes some mean cupcakes.
He has major brains and makes school look easy.
He has a LOT of hair that his dad wishes he had. :o)
He has a great love for all his family.
He has shyness in him but that just makes him more sweet to me.
He has a love of all video games.
He has a knack of warming me up with his cuddles.
He just has my heart and I love him so.
Happy Birthday, Zach!!!

Gavin Back to School and a Missing Tooth

I will say it has been very strange having Gavin in school now four days a week for half days. And when I am not watching Noah, it is even more weird having time to myself during the day.

After 11 years of staying home with the kids this is new territory for me and I find myself missing this little guy because he is usually attached to my hip. I hate to see him grow up but love it that he enjoys school so much. He is constantly asking me every morning if it is time yet for school. I hope he will always keeps that enthusiasm for school.

It was a cloudy and rainy day his first day of school so we didn't get the best pictures but still love them all.

Gavin finally got to the point here that he was done with pictures. Just one more for Mom, please!!!
Some exciting news at our house this morning and for those of you who heard Riley's screams of happiness and didn't quite know the reason behind them, she lost her first tooth this morning. She couldn't wait to go to school because she gets to sing the missing tooth song. I can almost guarantee you that the whole school knew of her excitement this morning before classes even started. That's my Riley.
