A year of pictures

I wanted to do the year worth of pictures. The easiest way for me to remember why I took what picture is my blog. Then I can later make a book and print it. So here goes day one.

I slip into the kids room at night to see how cute they are. Sometimes they still look like little babies. The both still have the same profile they did when they were newborns. It makes me sad sometimes that they are so big. I wish I would have taken more time to treasure the little things when they were little. I know they aren't big yet but it really does go by way too fast. There are days that I think how easy it would be if they were grown, but then I realize their problems will be big too. I can still fix most of their problems with a kiss and a hug right now.

When I went into the bedroom, Peyton was asleep. Braxton was not. He was very tired but looking for a way to get out of bed. He told me of bad dreams he was having and every reason why he should be able to get out of bed. Then when he saw me taking a picture of Peyton he did not want to be left out. So he quickly fell "asleep" so he was not left out. One thing I love about Peyton's picture is how much it shows his personality. He loves his bed. Not to sleep in but to play in. He put these stickers all over the wall himself, he loves tons and tons of blankets and pillows. He must have found one of the pillows in a closet somewhere because I never let him go to bed without a pillowcase. His bed is his "secret hideout". I will have to get another picture sometime this year to really show how crazy he gets with it all.
