• Story Time

  There are sometimes moments that make all the craziness of a day melt away.  The days have been going very well and honestly it's hard to believe Veronica is already 7 weeks old, she just fits into the family and is so loved by everyone.  Yesterday afternoon I was trying to put some of her clothes away that had been washed.  I set her on the extra bed in her room and hoped for 5 minutes to work with two free hands, something I definitely cherish these days.  Augustin came in carrying a book and was very happy to find a willing audience in Veronica to look through the book with him.  It worked well for me too because she was completely entertained and that gave me an extra 3 or 4 minutes to get things done and send a child running for the camera.  I really need to remember to keep it with me at all times, especially now that she's smiling more often.

  Augustin was so excited to have her "like" the story and actually smile at him and I think she was happy for the attention too.  Look at that smile, that is one happy kid, so excited to share the story with her and to know she was enjoying his company.

  Augustin kept trying to look at the camera, read the book and get Veronica to smile...definitely a multi-tasking moment
  

   

  I just love these moments, they really make my heart melt; there really is nothing like sibling love and those quiet moments shared together
