Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it

I must say I am the proudest mama alive because of this little man. Seriously. Listening to him ask questions about everything around him and always wanting to be involved in whatever he sees others doing, it's the greatest thing! He is all-boy. He loves sports and playing rough with daddy and grandpa and whoever else will play with him. Everyone is a friend. His new favorite expression is "DE-FENSE!" He loves to shout it at me as he plays with cars and trucks. Playing in the sand, dirt, water, you name it, he loves it.
But he also has a tender, sweet side to him that I adore. He'll cuddle up next to me, give me the toothiest grin and say, "I love you, mommy." He loves to pull up a chair next to the chef in the kitchen to watch. He'll even proudly show you his "owe-we" that he got on his hand when he got too close and touched the hot pan. He loves books and taking care of his baby sister. What a guy.

How long will it last?

So, if the blog is meant to happen, it will. If I can keep it up without losing my mind, I will. That's a promise. For all of you out there reading, thank you for your time and interest. We're simply a family of four living a happy life in French Valley (the northeast side of Temecula, CA). With a 2-year-old and 5-month-old, life is busy and full of laughter.
