Shenanigans and Two Very Special Blessings

Slice of Life Post March 18, 2023

My family has been blessed during the last two years. My brother has three children, two are from a previous marriage, Cody and Courtney. Courtney had Ace and Cody had Theo. These two were born a few months apart from each other. We have been to some amazing birthday parties to celebrate their lives. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for these two fellows. I hopeI get to witness many milestones.

Today I wanted to share a few photos of my great-nephews who brighten our lives in so many ways. I mean, come on, look at those smiles!

Ace is on the left and Theo is on the right from one year ago.
Ace and Theo looking into a green pot. Hmmmm……what next?
Apparently, the pot is full of some kind of green goo. I have no idea. Mom must be blowing bubbles int the scene.

The last photo surely invites some interesting dialogue or captions. I sure appreciate Facebook for sharing photos and moments like these.

    Those boys are adorable, and these photos put a huge grin on my face this stressful morning. I’m so glad you have such a close relationship w/ extended family and that you’re sharing that w/ us.

      I actually wish I could see them more often but they live a few hours away.

    You are truly blessed. These little guys are precious, and I can see with them looking into that green pot that they have fierce curiosity. They are plotting and planning together. What fun to grow up with family close in age and have fun and get in good trouble together! Oooooh, the memories are in the making!

    I know these two give you incredible joy – as your slice radiates – but what joy for these two to grow up alongside one another, to go through life together! Very, very special. Thanks for their dear photos! So sweet to see!
