The kiddos

 

 

 

 

The kids seem to be getting older every time I blink! Ryan is such a cutie. He LOVES to smile, a lot like his brother Brendan did. He also enjoys his siblings. They are really great with him and are always trying to make him laugh or help me out when they can. Teddy likes to take pictures with him, and this is just one of MANY that we have taken of the two of them. I think they are really going to be good buddies when Ryan is old enough to follow Teddy around.
Gary and I keep looking at Cecelia and Brendan and project them to the teenage years, mainly because of how old they look sometimes. Of course, Cecelia still keeps us on our toes with her choices sometimes, not unlike how we find her in her bed at night. She recently went to the dentist, which is her LEAST favorite thing. She was just getting some simple filling, but worked her nerves up. NOT that we could tell. She sat PERFECTLY still, allowed the dentist to do her thing, and even when she THREW UP on the dentist, while lying down with a "raincoat" attached to her mouth and teeth, she never cried, complained or made the dentist stop. She was in a word, amazing.
Brendan is still our bundle of energy. But he is such a great big brother, to all three of his younger siblings. His heart and the way he treats them makes me melt.
