This is our story... Believe me, it is not a fairy tale. Scott and I argue, my children have meltdowns, and my house is often a mess. But we sure do love each other
and so far we are living happily ever after.

Our Favorite Thing

One of our favorite things to do is pick up Dalton from school. Every now and then we get to do this. It usually goes something like this... we anxiously wait our turn in the carpool line. Dalton comes out of the school and waits on the breezeway. He sees us and smiles and waves. I look in my rearview mirror and both Cole and Ella are smiling and waving at him. It is precious. He comes running to the car and jumps in. Ella is usually jabbering away about something to him and Cole always says, "Hey Dalton" smiling from ear to ear. Dalton and Cole then talk about something. Most of the time Dalton is teaching Cole something new. Today it was about pro basketball. He told Cole all about the different teams and then said, "Do you understand Cole?" Cole looked at him with his big eyes and said, "Yeah. I do." Then Dalton read Ella a story. (Still can't believe he is reading so well. Seems like only yesterday I was asking him what does a cat say ... he always meowed so funny.) Dalton is so fun and easy to love. He is always in a good mood and has such a kind heart and we just can't wait until the next time we get to pick him up from school!

Hope I am that cool one day!

That was very sweet. That is one of my favorite things to do too! He loves when you pick him up too. (Thanks for the CD in his bookbag.)
