i-i-i-as in Indian

I am going to have to brush up on my phonics (because you know we haven't been doing any of that around here!) My little men are leaving me....for school. They were so excited when I picked them up and were jabbering the whole way home about their days.

Sam melts my heart when he asks his brother, "So, how was your first day?".....he is so thoughtful! As I walked into Staples after I dropped them off...all by myself; it hit me...these days are precious with them. They are such a gift from God!

Noise.....

This is how I found Sam the other afternoon.....the music blarring (volume all the way maxed out). I could here the music from the other room....my question is....how could anyone fall asleep with this noise! I'll tell you (because I know you are on pins and needles), only the V. boys could. This is how Travis falls asleep at night...the i-pod or the tv on. I am constantly surrounded by noise...and it is such useless noise to me. Only late at night or early in the morning can I be still in the silence before or after the noise has consummed my life!!

Cousins

Love this picture of Blynn....classic Blynn face

These guys are always wanting more of each other...even when they fight. The first thing Luke and Sam say in the morning, "Are we going to see Blynn and Rusty today?".
