Some of the many things I love about my boys #7:

Thanksgiving - the perfect time to debut another list about the two little people I'm most thankful for...some of the many things I love about my boys #7:

  • How enthusiastically Silas cheered for Luke at his soccer games ("Luuuuuke!")
  • How Luke hears a sweet song and gets confused as to why he's tearing up
  • How Luke doesn't like to go to school as much on the days that Silas doesn't (only Wed!)
  • How enthusiastic the boys were to go to a "sibling class" at the hospital where we're delivering Faith
  • Hearing Silas pronounce his friends' names from school - Rohan, Ayli and Eshvar
  • Silas's incessant posing
  • How Luke has discovered his own favorite color that is not mine (black)
  • How the boys help each other play video games
  • How Luke tells Silas what he's good at doing...even if he's not...just to make him feel good
  • The boys' "trumpeting" of things they're excited about ("I'm going to clean up the pillows so that we can play - dun da da daaaa! - puzzles!")
  • How the boys have made up their own lyrics to the Indiana Jones theme song (no, they haven't seen the movie) - "We're two brothers...and a sister...we're two brothers...and a si-i-ster..."
  • Silas's use of the word "nasty". ("Mommy, the roof on that house is nasty!") I don't know where he got it from, but it cracks me up.
  • How Silas runs and slides on our hardwood floors in his socks like he's sliding into home plate
  • Listening to the boys pray for our new president
I needed to post this list now because first of all, it's Thanksgiving, and I couldn't imagine being more grateful for the precious gifts of all my boys. Secondly, I will need to change the title next time since I will be having a little girl come Sunday. Yep, I said it. Faith will be born this Sunday, November 30! I realize that was the initial date we put out there, so just ignore my last post. :) Apparently, I've made enough "progress" that the doctor thinks I will make it no where near my due date. More to come!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Good luck - Faith is so very lucky to be born into yourr family!

Love the lists- your observations are beautiful and subtle. And best wishes for a smooth delivery. Can't wait to see pix of, and hear about, Faith.

Congrats to both the Teague family and the Pavels.
All 3 children are beautiful.

God Bless you all & lots of Love
