Precious Moment

So Curtis and I were having quite the heated conversation (alright, who am I kidding, we were flat out yelling at each other) and Kylee came into the room and wanted Curtis to pick her up. She then turned to me and said "Mama hug" and reached her hands out for a hug. I went in to hug her and she actually put her other arm around Curtis and pushed us towards each other. She wanted US to hug. It was such a sweet and special moment. We of course granted her wish and hugged (with her in the middle) and couldn't seem to finish our argument...I mean conversation, in the same manner. That small but EXTREMELY precious moment immediately changed the feeling in the room and helped us realize what's really important. I feel quite ashamed (and lucky) that my 21 month old was more grown up then I was and taught me a valuable lesson. Just love each other.

I feel so blessed to be Kylee's mom and am so happy that she is already a better person than I am.

It's amazing just how much these little ones know. The last time Kyle and I had a we'll call is a "disagreement", Ava did something similar. We were in the car and she kept asking mommy and daddy to kiss and hug.

Cute family pix!!!!!
And that is so sweet...funny how kids can calm us down, they totally sense when their is tension in the air! Tanner has told me a few times to "be nice to daddy!" Cracks me up.
