Personalities

When you see your children start to develop their own personality it's... freaking awesome. That's the only way I can think to describe it. We have watched our little guys grow their own personalities and are so blessed to continue to see them develop into amazing little men.

Tooth

Louis lost his first tooth... in only the Louis fashion way : )

This is the conversation that Louis and i had about his first wiggly tooth that is about to fall out.

Lou- Mom, my tooth is really wiggles now. (Yes, this is how he said it)
Me- Let me see
[I wiggle tooth and it comes out. No reaction from Louis]
Me- Louis, it's out
Lou- Oh! Ok.
Samual- OH MY GOODNESS LOUIS!!!! MOM IS THERE BLOOD! LOUIS! LET ME SEEEE!!!
Louis- Yeah.

Vroom

So in our family we have a few... how do I say this nicely... neat freaks.
It comes from both my maternal grandparents, it's been handed down through the generations. It has defiantly continued on down to our boyz.

This is not my picture.

 I was only a year old when this picture was taken.

However the magic that happened in this game lives on.

 Kid's two-out single started the 10th-inning rally

 that set up one of the most memorable sequences of events in baseball history.

Gary Carter aka 'Kid' one of the three captain trio,

 inducted to the hall of fame in 2003,

died at the age of 57 yesterday.

No I do not cheer for the Mets.

However I take my hat off for you Gary Carter,

as you were what the true and basic rules are of baseball.

Thank you for showing us what the slogan

 'For the love of the game' truly meant every game that you played.

 



Happy Valentines Day
