My Two Boys
My Two boys have been growing up so fast lately. George is learning fast like he learns how to open the door with a use of a key.

Baby Vince And His Tie Dye Shirt
This is my youngest son named Vincent Charles. He is now 9 month and 2 weeks old. He was not feeling well when I took this picture but he managed to look ok with this new tie dye shirt that I made for him. Blue and yellow colors were the ones I chose and I fell in love with tie dyeing craft after the MOPS group in our area taught us Moms on know how to do it. It was easy and super cool, and my kids love wearing their new tie die shirt.
