Ramblings on John Michael

I just love the days that I have to spend at home with the boys.  With the boys being seven years apart, I have had the privilage of enjoying each of them at home one-on-one while they are little.  I loved being home with Samuel before he started to school and I am now enjoying being home with John Michael on Tuesday and Thursday each week.  Some of our favorite past times are Library story time, Barnes & Noble, having lunch with Joseph, going to the park, and of course, just staying home.  Last week we attended The Birmingham Children's Theatre production of Three Billy Goats Gruff.  John Michael loved it although he wasn't too fond of the Troll and was quite disappointed at the end when he and the billy goats didn't become friends.
Library Story Time - Bubbles
Barnes & Noble - Train Time
John Michael loves to ride his scooter at the park!
Loves to play with his horses!
and Loves to play with his brother!
First Dentist Appointment - What a big boy!

John Michael has his own little personality and is such a joy!  All of Samuel's friends just love John Michael.  Even the older kids at church, school, and the baseball field know and love John Michael.  He has a spark and a sweetness about him.  He loves horses, as I mentioned in the previous post, farms, tractors, 4-wheelers and farm animals.  He adores his big brother, loves to read books, and adds a little spark to just about everything we do.  He loves, loves, loves chocolate!  M&M's in particular.  He and Samuel have similar personality traits but are so different at the same time.  For example, the chocolate that Santa left in their stockings at Christmas...  Samuel's is still in the cabinet while John Michael's was gone by noon Christmas Day.  Funny!

Just a little update on John Michael.  "The days are long but the years are short".  He's growing up so fast!  We are so blessed and I want to enjoy every moment!
