oh where oh where have my little babies gone?

Luke: age 2

hahaha. i love this picture! This is him in preschool, fall of 2008. wow, now my "baby" is that age!
We just got luke a new bed. a BIG bed, and he is so excited. He is such a sweet boy, always caring for others, especially for Annie. Lukes favorite thing right now is weapons and legos. I'm sure you know...that ANYTHING can become a weapon. even a twirling ribbon becomes a rope to tie up the bad guys up and take them to jail!
He hates to eat, and loves to be outside. The other day i was looking for him, in a bit of a panic, and found him trying to take his nap out on the lawn! His favorite person is Dad. He asks me all the time, "does dad do (something)"? he has to check with me before doing some things, just to make sure dad does it the same way. We love you Luke!

Annie: few days old

There was once a time when Annie Evans Davies Crosby would just lay there...I know that is true because i have this and other pictures to prove it, but i still dont remember! Annie is so full of life! We just moved her into a toddler bed yesterday. She is both extremely excited and scared out of her mind. She came out of her room after 'a long sleep' and saw the light on in the office, so started knocking at the door. "daddy! im awake! DADDYYYY!!!!!" that was 12:30 am...
The other day she was routinely going through Luke's preschool bag, making comments on each piece of artwork as they emerged from the bag. "oh my word!" and "Oh Luke! You have paint!" and "good job Luke, you used stickers on there!" Oh how I wish i got that on camera.
She also loves to sing, but seems to sing to ONLY ONE TUNE. old mcdonald, i am a child of god, eenie meenie miney mo, etc. are all sung to the tune of "twinkle twinkle". Shes got a great voice though, keep on singin' girl, we love it! We love you Annie!
