You Are My I Love You

You Are My I Love You
Author: Maryann K Cusimano

I am your parent you are my child
I am your quiet place, you are my wild
I am your calm face, you are my giggle
I am your wait, you are my wiggle
I am your audience, you are my clown
I am your London Bridge, you are my falling down
I am your Carrot Sticks, you are my licorice
I am your dandelion, you are my first wish
I am your water wings, you are my deep
I am your open arms, you are my running leap
I am your way home, you are my new path
I am your dry towel, you are my wet bath
I am your dinner you are my chocolate cake
I am your bedtime, you are my wide awake
I am your finish line, you are my race
I am your praying hands, you are my saving grace
I am your favourite book, you are my new lines
I am your nightlight, you are my sunshine
I am your lullaby, you are my peek-a-boo
I am your kiss goodnight, you are my I love you

Are you crying? 'Cause I am.

More Pics of the Girls

These are from several months ago, especially the one of Mia. She has changed so much! But, I thought they would be fun to put on anyway.

Snow Bunnies & Valentine's Sweeties

Hannah received this umbrella as a gift from her great aunt a couple of years ago. Any excuse she has to use it, she does. Snow, rain, any weather deserves some umbrella time!

This picture of Mia is priceless. She was quite unhappy about something. I think the pouty expression on her face is adorable.

Our Valentine Super Stars!

The sunglasses you will see on the girls are prizes that they earned with their "Marble Jars." Throughout the day Hannah and Mia earn marbles for good behavior, doing things without being asked, helping Mommy, doing things when they are asked, etc. I have a prize bag that I periodically restock with fun stuff the girls like. These pictures were taken just after they picked these Valentine's sunglasses out of the bag (except the middle one that was taken the Sunday after before church).

Birthday Girls

Amelia and Charlotte celebrated their 2nd and 1st birthdays in November. Our "Irish Twins" keep us busy and bring us lots of smiles and joy. This is of course when we are not pulling our hair out, breaking up fights, and enduring the screaming fits of drama that are their specialty. Oh, drama. What would we do without you?

Halloween & Dalmations

Halloween was great fun last year. Unfortunately, the evening got late and we still hadn't taken pictures of all of the girls in their costumes. We said to ourselves, "let's just put them to bed and we will get them back into their costumes tomorrow and take lots of pictures." Nope. Didn't happen. So, instead of our 3 adorable angels in their costumes (Hannah was a Candy Corn Witch, Mia was a Princess - or "Bibess" as she likes to call herself, and Charlotte was a ladybug), we present to you the pumpkins we carved as a family. We decided to try those stencils that you tape on the pumpkin, trace, and then cut out. They turned out pretty well! Oh, and I must add, we grew the pumpkins ourselves in our very first pumpkin patch!





Now for the "Dalmations" part of the post. Hannah was in her very first musical in November. She was "Patch" in "Disney's 101 Dalmations"put on by our local Arts Council. They have a wonderful theater program for kids. She loved it and is currently in rehearsals for her second show, "The Granny Awards."
