Lately

The last week I've just been thinking about how the kids are getting so big and growing up!  A few months ago I had a friend tell me her favorite age for her kids was when they were 2 and 4(they are also 2 years apart).  I am seeing why.  They say and do the cutest things! Joe has been talking more and more, and thus has been much less frustrated.  And when he gets frustrated he'll even say "I'm mad!".  It's kinda cute (for now :).  Lydia has been growing in independence and is so much more expressive with her emotions (telling us often she loves us, and how she feels about certain things, whether they make her scared, surprised, happy, sad, etc.).  I wanted to blog this while it was on my mind.
