My boys

People have been telling me since Oscar has been born that he is the spitting image if Busiisi. I haven't seen it until this past month or so. Busiisi doesn't have any pictures of himself before 4 years of age, so it's hard to compare baby pictures. Lately these two boys are inseparable when Busiisi is home and more and more I see Oscar imitating and watching Busiisi's every move! He gravitates to music and anything with a beat. He loves to "drum" on anything that makes noise and will "dance" when music is playing. He goes to bed so easily for Busiisi and loves sitting with him and cuddling in bed with him. It takes a bit to get a smile or a laugh out of Oscar just like it takes Busiisi a while to warm up to others. They love the same foods and Oscar will whine and complain until Busiisi feeds him whatever he eats. When Busiisi goes upstairs to his studio, Oscar will cry and whine and do everything in his power to get up those stairs to be in Daddy's studio. He runs to the door when Busiisi gets home and cries when he goes to the bathroom or shower and closes the door. 

I'm thankful to have Busiisi in my life and now Oscar. I'm excited to see Oscar grow up and build a personality. Yes there are parts of me in Oscar as well, but right now I am beginning to see what others see. 

I love these boys in my life more than words could ever express! I love watching their relationship grow and get so strong. It'll be fun experiencing all their adventures with them!

Lets do this

Okay, so I have done blogs before, but this one is for me.  I want a place to record my thoughts, dreams and just daily stuff.  Yes there will be pictures and to others this may be boring but it's a chance for me to put down the things I want to remember 10 and 50 years to come (if internet still exists in the next 50 years). 

This summer has been a great one for many reasons.  One, it's been gorgeous outside and I have spent lots of time hanging out there.

I had an amazing trip to Seattle with a couple colleagues and enjoyed getting to know them on a different level.

I've spend many mornings, afternoons and evenings hanging out with some great friends and family members.

Busiisi's business is flying and off the ground and keeping me VERY busy. 

But the best reason of all is that I have had the chance to spend it with one little man that brightens up my day and just makes everything all better. 

Speaking of this little man, he has grown up so much in the last week.  He is experimenting with words and is connecting so many things together.  It's fun to watch his brain make connections and learn new things.  He is a book man.  We sit most of the day and he brings me books.  We flip through the pages, read the stories (or make them up when we get sick of hearing the same words over and over again), point at the pictures, make noises and then do it all over again with another book.  It's fun to see the excitement on his face when he brings a book over to me, signs please, smiles and jumps a little out of excitement.  This is good for a teacher mom to have a kid who loves books.  Now if we can just keep him from eating them and ripping them apart out of excitement we will be okay!

That's all for today! Until next time...
