Life is good.....

I think everyone that reads my blog already knows about our most recent big news.... But, since this is my "scrapbook," it needs to be noted.

The for sale signs are in our yard, it is official: We are moving! We are moving.... with an exclamation mark. The exclamation mark signifies my feelings of excitement, but also my feelings of "oh no!" We could not be more thrilled to be moving close to our parents and brothers. We are so excited to be moving back in the state that we would always call "home." But, there have been many tears already shed and I am sure more to come as we think about leaving friends that we have come to know and love sooooo much. I have a lump in my throat as I type....

whew....I need to move on....

I uploaded some recent videos of the kiddos. These are the reason for my title of this post: Life is good. Life is soooo good in the Parish household. Liza is wild and crazy and fully toddler. She is so much fun and it amazes me what she learns everyday. Will is in that wonderful baby stage where you really begin to see his little personality.... He is also in that stage where he is developing so quickly. Just 4 weeks ago he was only lifting up and barely sitting on his own.......now he can get himself to sitting from his belly, and crawl! We bathe them together at night......which is something that I have been looking forward to doing since I was pregnant with him. Don't know why that seemed so much fun to me, but it did. Now it is here, and I do love it! : ) Anyway, these videos aren't super duper funny or special for any particular reason......they are just sweet to me as a mommy. They show a glimpse of our kids right now.....I can see me watching them over and over when I am old and gray..... Or, maybe not. I might be too busy enjoying grandchildren......either way......right now they are my sweet babies and they are growing so fast!

Enjoy!

naked noo noos!

This post is for the grandmothers......it is wayyyy too many pictures of basically the same thing...... but can I help it that I just couldn't pick one that was the cutest???

It all began one morning after breakfast.....I went to get Will dressed while Liza watched cartoons.....Will desperately needed a manicure, so before dressing him I went to do that. I keep their clippers in the den b/c Liza will only be still for me to cut hers with the tv on...... soooo after Liza saw Will getting his nails clipped, she of course wanted hers done, too. Which meant taking off her footed pj's so I could get her feet as well. (Again, all these things she keeps doing b/c her little brother does them......one day I am going to use this when she whines about him copying her.....last night she HAD to have a bit of baby food just b/c he was eating it......she didn't like it, though, so I don't think she will try that one again....) Anyway, that is the long explanation of how and why both of my kids were were down to their skimpies.......they were so cute I had to get the camera.......

I told Liza to go sit "by" Will.....we are still working on our prepositions.

Can you see my teeth???

Sweet baby...... I am just a little obsessed with this boy right now.....Lee says he pitys the girl that tries to marry him......

Cutie Liza.....

These next 3 perfectly sum up their personalities....... Liza puts her finger in Will's mouth, he smiles. Liza puts her foot in his face, he smiles. Liza tries to sit on top of Will, he kisses.

What about this view, mom???

Did she think I wouldn't see her???




This one of Liza cracks me up..... check out her perfect little lounging position with her knee up, arm around Will, and the biggest cheese ever......she looks like she is posing for her Sr. year pictures.....

My sweet babies....

BIG laugh!

Okay, seriously. Mom, enough.
