Time for Change

It's time for a change in the Wright house. It's bittersweet, but much needed and a little overdue.

It seems like just yesterday my babies were sleeping like this.

Or this.

So how can they be sleeping like this now?

My babies are no longer babies, but are truly just little kids. (sniffle. sniffle.)

Good-bye cribs. Hello big kid beds.

PS Carson and Owen have also graduated to a bunk bed.

Ta-Da!

Daddy has put Carson and Owen to bed for the night. Owen and Carson chose to take their Magna-Doodles to bed with them this particular night. Daddy hears Owen saying "Daddy, I have a surprise for you!" Owen and Carson walk out of their bedroom. Owen has his Magna-Doodle behind his back. He says again, that he has a surprise for Daddy. Here is the rest of the conversation.
Owen: Ta-Da!
At this point Owen has revealed his drawing on his Magna-Doodle. It's a rectangle.
Daddy: What is it?
Owen: (Very proudly.) It's a truck!
Daddy: I love it!
Carson sends the boys back to bed. 45 seconds later....
Owen: Daddy, I have a surprise for you!
Both boys walk out of the bedroom. Daddy meets them outside their bedroom. Owen's Magna-Doodle is behind his back.
Daddy: What's your surprise, buddy?
Owen: Ta-Da! (Another rectangle is drawn on the Magna-Doodle. It resembles the first rectangle.)
Daddy: Another truck!
Owen starts laughing and shakes his head in disbelieve.
Owen: It's not a truck!
Daddy: It's not? What is it?
Owen: (Still chuckling.) It's a piece of bread!

God love the mind of a four year old!

I love flowers anytime, even when they have been picked from my own garden.
Carson and Owen picked these flowers for Mommy. Aren't my big boys so thoughtful?

Fire

This is a little song Daddy sings to Carson and Owen at bedtime. It has become a favorite. It took a while for Owen agree to be taped, but once he found Stella's microphone it was on!
Enjoy the video.
