Lucky to be their mom.



The addition of little Hank to our family has been very special. I like to think I have always appreciated being a mother...but somehow, Hank has taken that appreciation to a whole new level. More than ever, I am finding myself content with just staying at home and hanging out with these two....which, these days consists of making "eggs and dinner" with Ruby in her kitchen set while holding and adoring the Hankster. Somedays, I wish I could sit on the couch, hold Hank, and just look at him. He's darn cute...even Ruby frequently says, "Hank...you're so cute." She loves him too, and it is fun watching her adapt to being a big sister to her little brother (although, she is still talking about her baby sister who is apparently still in heaven). My favorite is when she comes into our room in the morning, climbs into the bed, and starts talking to Hank in a sweet little voice while placing her cute little hands on Hank's face. Hank usually responds with a flash of his darling grin. Man, I'm lucky to be a mom.

...and on a funny note. While getting ready for bed and reading books, Ruby let out a little toot. Hugh jokingly said, "Excuse me." Ruby got a funny little grin on her face, and turned to Hugh and responded, "That's okay. You can boof in my room." She already has a cute sense of humor.
