I love sleeping babies

Is there anything a mom enjoys more than a peacefully sleeping baby?  Even cuter are the random positions they seem to find comfortable.

Jacob is 2!

I want a blessing . . . and then some chocolate cake.

Brothers playing

Jacob’s just discovered a favorite toddler pastime:  getting dizzy.

It’s even better when your older brother is the one spinning you.  Here they are in the local Salvation Army gym, where we meet once a week for a homeschool 4H playgroup.

Here are the results:
