Family

I love watching all three kids play together.  It absolutely makes my heart melt that they have eachother for support, friendship and best of all, fun.  The girls are playmates most of the time, and every so often, mortal enemies.  Hudson drops into the mix every from time to time, but for the most part he is really happy sitting on the floor or in my lap reading a book.  Last weekend we had to run some errands at the shopping center, and since I forgot Hudson's stroller, we all walked.....at Hudson's pace. It was about the most fun we have had in ages.  We never took the most direct route, but Hudson was so happy that he was cracking up the whole way, which made us crack up- we must have looked like loons wandering around!  

Taylor recently drew the picture below.  It is wonderful to see that she is thinking about family from such a macro view.  She is so focused on helping her brother and sister with homework or games, or helping me in the kitchen- we are so lucky that she is the leader of this pack of kiddos.
