The time has come....

....to go private!!! Please leave your email in my comments or email me your email address at darcicookus@yahoo.com. For my reasons for going private, please see pictures below :)I need to protect these "three" kids! Ben is so sexy that he is prone to being stalked. I wouldn't want him to be kidnapped by any of his stalkers who just want him for his Arnold Schwarzeneggar body!!!

One of the many faces of Malia! Anyone who's ever taken a moment to watch a newborns faces knows it can be hilarious!

My Mom came for a few days and came bearing many gifts for BOTH kids (smart lady to make Riley feel special too!) We had a really fun time and went to many movies, out to eat many times, got Malia's pictures done, and went for a nice long walk with Riley on his new bike!

I know Riley's hugeness in this picture has a lot to do with camera position, but STILL! He is large and she is so small :) I've always thought Riley has a big head (Ben calls it a big melon), and the other day we went to buy him a helmet and had to get him the 8 years plus size! I love my kids!

Having two is....nice at moments like these! But the moments aren't always like these :) For the most part it is going fine. Overwhelming, but quickly turning into the new normal for us like everyone said it would. Sometimes it's fun to take care of Malia and enjoy the way she is now, then go be with Riley and laugh at the funny way he is now. Last night he yelled out to me from his bed while he was trying to get to sleep. He said "Mommy, guess what! I think I have a bad dream in my tummy!" I thought for a second to make sure I heard right, then said "Okay...well, try to have a good dream." He replied "Okay, I'll dream about good cops."
