Little Loves




My sister and Brother-in-law are in town for Thanksgiving with Vincent and Carley. I cherish this time with my adorable nephew and niece. Vincent is now four & a half and Carley is two and a half. They are so much fun to be around.




Vincent is getting so mature and is definitely acting more like a boy than a baby. He is very independent and is always saying "I can do it all by myself" and when he is in the bathroom "Please close the door, I need my privacy" It is really cute. He is very protective with his little sister and loves to "help" her with whatever she is doing. He loves to "read" stories and is doing a great job with knowing all his letters and what sound each letter makes. He is doing very well in soccer and seems to enjoy it.



Now the little miss is very sweet. She is extremely affectionate and loves to give hugs and kisses. She is sweet and gentle and loves to be picked up. She is getting the hang of going pee-pee on the potty but doesn't do it all the time yet. But gets very excited when she does. She talks a lot but only about half of it is in a language you and I could understand. She is very much a Daddy's girl and loves to point to my brother -in-law and say "Dats my daddy" in case we didn't already know that. She loves to make a scrunchy face smile and knows we all think its adorable.

A rose from my garden


I just had to take a picture of this beauty. My roses are not doing as well this year as they have in previous years. I think this summer was just too much for them. They are doing okay I just don't get as many blooms as I would like. I fed them well this week and hope they have a growth spourt soon. In the meantime, I just couldn't resist taking a picture of this beauty to share with you all. I love the color and it has a wonderful fragrance too.
