Family Time

Here are a few shots of family time. Raymond loves to help entertain his little sister. Oh, and I caught Kenny "smile begging" his daughter. He is always begging her to smile for him. It is pretty stinking cute. I love my family.

More helping

And here Raymond is helping yet again- Helping me make kale chips. I let him rub the olive oil into the kale. Messy, but oh so fun. And it kept him busy while I was working on the dishes. Sneaky, sneaky.

Blurry, but sweet

Some blurry pics of brother and sister dressed up for church. Raymond loves his little sister so much. Sometimes, a bit too much, as he won't leave her alone. He always wants to hold her hand, kiss her, etc.

Helping Mommy Cook

While learning how to get things done while caring for 2 little ones, I've been working on finding things to keep Raymond entertained. Now that he is getting older, he loves to help in more concrete ways. Although it often takes four times as long while he is helping, it lessens the amount of time I spend entertaining him while cooking! Not to mention how much he learns while doing such things. It melts my heart to see him feel so important while he is being my big helper. Here he is breaking the brussel sprouts off of the stalk. He really struggled with it- but thought it was so cool to help! And last, a picture of them right before they went in the oven to be roasted. Mmmm... they taste so sweet and carmelized this way.
