Happy and Sad Times

This past month, Aiden turned 3, Bryce turned 6, we took a trip to Napa, and we are getting ready to celebrate Easter tomorrow.   All these happenings have been so fun and memorable.  But, today, on Bryce's 6th birthday, I am feeling overwhelmed with sadness.  Ever since the fire, I have been trying so hard to put on a happy face and move on and be grateful that we were not home that horrid day.  But on days like today, when I want to look back at baby pics and reminice about pregnancy/labor/etc., I have nothing but very faint memories stored in this CRAZY mommy brain.  My only pics of Bryce as a baby were the pics my mom and sis had when he was 4 months old.  And Aiden is even worse.  The only pics I have of him were when he was 6 months.  I feel like a horrible mother- although the fire was completely out of our control- that I don't have more documentation of their first years.  When they get married and their wives are asking questions about them as babies, I won't have anything to show them.  I don't have baby pics of them to compare to their own children's.  But, I do have the most wonderful, beautiful, sweet boys to make me smile daily.  And for that, I am forever grateful.  Now, enough complaining and onto to pics for you mom....







I forgot to include pics of the baby WALKING!!!  Seriously, he is only 8 months and taking a few steps.  I am soooo not ready for this.  He is way too young and I am going to try to make him stay a baby for as long as possible- not dealing too well with the fact that he is the last!!! 
I promise I will post pics tomorrow for you mom!!!  Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!!!
