Love

It is Valentines Day today. At our house not much is done to celebrate. We get each other cards and I might get some flowers, but it is business at usual at the Berning house. I tell the boys I love them all day and I tell Brian I love him everyday. We don't need a special day to tell each other how much we love each other.

But in the spirit of the day I tried to get a picture of the boys with some hearts Kyle and I made. The boys of course just liked to hit each other with the "heart swords" as Kyle called them. And instead of sitting on the baskets the decided it would be more fun to play in the baskets. But it did not matter, I still had fun watching them play and taking their pictures.
So Happy Valentines Day from us!

Compare

Here are few fun comparisons. 

Having two boys allows me to hand down clothes from Kyle to Alex. Even though they were not born during the same season I have found that a lot of clothing is able to be used from Alex. Each time I get out Kyle's old clothes for Alex I can remember him wearing the clothes. It brings back so many memories and at the same time reminds me how big Kyle is getting. When I got his out today I could remember this exact picture of Kyle wearing this outfit. Kyle was 20 months old when this picture was taken and Alex is 14 months old. 

I also decided to look at a picture of Kyle when he was 14 months old and compare it with Alex. They look so different from each other. As different looking as they are different in their personalities. I had forgotten how bald Kyle was when he was so young. I remember him not having a lot of hair but compared to Alex he is very bald. But of course they are both adorable!!!!! 

When I was looking for a picture of Kyle at 14 months old I came across this picture of Kyle with his friend Abby.  I love this picture because it is so true of their personalities now. And I was so amazed how it shows even when the first picture was taken. Abby is so outgoing and Kyle is very cautious. Still today this is how their pictures look. I hope that their wedding pictures won't look like these....
