Heaven is my home.

The other night we had a big thunderstorm while Tucker was getting ready for bed. I was putting his pajamas on him when there was a huge boom of thunder. Tucker said Mommy what's that noise and I told him not to be scared it was thunder. He said "Mommy thunder scare me". I explained to him that storms are God's way of watering the trees and flowers and grass and that it wasn't scary, and that it sounds like God bowling in heaven. He said, "Heaven Mommy?", I said yes Tucker heaven. I asked him if he knew where heaven was and he pointed up to the sky and I told him that heaven was way above the clouds. He stopped for a minute and looked at me and said, "heaven my home, mommy" and put his hand over his heart. I nearly melted right then, children never cease to amaze me. They really do hear God so much more clearly than adults sometimes do, just because they are open to it.

Big Brother, Little Sister

Oh Tucker and Gigi, the whole time I was pregnant I thought about if Tucker would like Gigi or if he would be jealous. Well, Tucker LOVES Gigi, as in he wants to squeeze her neck off, roll around on the ground with her, sit on top of her--I mean he just really can't control himself when it comes to her. If she's crying in her crib and he's downstairs with me he says Mommy I gotta go save DeeDee (how he says Gigi). Now, Gigi on the other hand pretty much looks at him like--uhmm do the adults now that you are this close to me--I don't think this is allowed.

You can see in the pictures that Tucker took her lovey bunny, he takes all of her stuff, she's probably going to start hoarding her stuff so he doesn't always take it away from her! Her face in the first picture pretty much explains it all--it cracks me up!

Introducing...

Well, I probably need to give her a formal introduction! This is Gillian Kay Gandy, our Gigi, she was born April 8th and weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and she was 19 3/4 inches long. She's now 3 months old and she hasn't lost one hair on her head. Ok, so I might have tried to put it in a ponytail the other day--somebody stop me! :) She's our precious girl!

We're Back!!

Well after a long--long hiatus (long enough to have a baby :)I've decided to start blogging again. Our family has changed so much and with two little ones we seem to change more and more everyday! I've gone back and read some of my older posts and this is such a neat way to chronicle our kids growing up. Tucker will be three in a few weeks (big tears) he's growing up so much and although he's still all boy he has such a sweet spirit. Gigi is our newest arrival and an arrival she has been--she's just the opposite of Tucker at her age--all girl. She doesn't care much about playing or being on the ground she would much rather be held and coo and talk all day! Tucker very often scares her with his running around and throwing trucks and slamming the hammer into the wall ( all the things boys do) and she very loudly lets us all know. She's very fondly been labeled not a princess but the QUEEN of our house, we all think she's royal :). Watching some of the looks that she gives the jester woops I mean Tucker is hilarious! I have pretty much prayed my whole life that God would bless me with a little girl and she is my dream come true! :) She's a true momma's girl and I hope that never changes! We are having a fun summer and I am reminded everyday of how blessed our little family is.
