They are everything to me and more!!

Nevaeh is my sweet soul. A few weeks ago, out of no where she brought me her piggy bank and handed it to me, she said “here mom, give all my money to the children in need, to UNICEF and the Children’s Hospital.”  She proceeded to ask me “Why do children get sick, why are there kids who have no parents, why are there poor people who are suffering, my heart hurts for them…..”   She went on and on…She prays and thanks God every morning for everything she has and she is very aware of how fortunate she is.  This is who she is, she is so caring and I am so proud of her kind little soul.

Aside of her kind soul, she’s a Divvvvaaaa! what she will wear to school everyday is a huge production , according to her I don’t know style and she does –huh!  She said bye, bye to the cute headbands and flowers on her head –she’s too cool for that now.  She loves to wear her hair down with nothing in it, I think it looks like a hot mess, but she says “Mom the messier the better.”

Julian is “special” as my husband always says.  And he is so funny, he is definitely in the “kids say the darndest things” faze.  I love asking him questions just because he always cracks me up with his answers, so the other day I asked him “Julian do you think I’m pretty.”   As he made a funny face with hand gestures: “a little bit, I mean mom when you get  dressed up for fancy parties and stuff, ya, you look like a pretty mom, but not really when you wake up and at night time when I see you sleeping you look funny and your hair gets all crazy like a tomato.”He is obsessed with his baby sister Natalia.  he is so in love with her that on a daily basis he asks her for her hand in marriage.  He doesn’t understand why he can’t marry his sister, “Why can’t I marry her, I love her, I want to marry her, she is just so cute.”

Natalia is a handful, but I can just eat her up with all her cuteness.  She is SO bossy, sassy, loves, loves, loves playing with her dolls.  She loves putting on my shoes, and she knows how to play games on an iPhone and on the IPAD.    She is especially obsessed with phones, she digs through purses, anyone’s purse, opens zippers and all and will snatch your phone in a second! hide into a corner and will play with it until she is discovered.
