Bedtime after a trip to the Hair Cuttery where they were sheared, I mean buzzed last week.
Sam eating dinner with his toes on the table. We love to tickle them and are glad he's never crashed backwards and split his head open like my cousin's baby. They look so cute poking up over the edge of the table.
Sam eating pasta and hugging his new Alaskan sloth bear. 
I took the boys to see Josh at USDA one day last week and his co-workers lavished teddy bears and other gifts on them. They loved seeing Daddy at work and were sad he couldn't come home with us. 
Michael at nap time. He still hates the flash, but just look at that face I get to kiss a million times each time he goes down for a nap. I could eat his chin.
He has started singing a few words of the lullabies with me. He'll sing the rhyming words at the end of the phrases in "I Am a Child of God," "My Heavenly Father Loves Me," "I Am Like a Star," and "Edelweiss." 
Today I sang him one I used to sing a lot when he was born but haven't used in a while. It's "Mother, I Love You" but I sing "Michael, I love you. Michael, I do. Father in Heaven has sent Mommy you. When I am near you I love to hear you whisper so softly that you love me too. Michael, I love you. I love you. I do." He kept pointing to himself while I sang! He looked into my eyes and held my hand and said "do" along with me with a very sweet smile on his face. I asked "Again?" And he smiled and nodded. I sang it two more times and he seemed to understand the song and just kept holding my hand and looking into my eyes. He smiled and said "Church." I think he says that when he feels the Spirit. He said it yesterday during the spiritually charged rest hymn in Sacrament Meeting. I just want to keep this moment in my pocket for ever.
Sweet dreams, Michael, and don't grow too much before you wake up, my boy.
