Heart So Worth The Wait!!!

Hi everyone,

have not posted in a while. Two toddlers sure can keep you busy!

For those waiters....I used to log on everyday jus to see the new pictures posted..i would dream about my kids, the day i would finally get them, all the pictures I would take.

So here are some pictures, Connor just turned 3, one of him on his first day of preschool...which he wanted to go shopping with Mommy and not to school that day...too funny!!!

Your boys are incredible! CUTE CUTE CUTE!! Yes, It looks like you will be VERY busy!!!

I've noticed that whenever someone posts a "pictures" thread, there are always tons of views. Like you, we all like to look and daydream, and also catch up on the families' progress who we have followed online... Thanks for sharing yours!
