Sweeties ...

I took a few pictures this morning while waiting for everyone to get ready for church. Jackson and Karis were playing cars and roads on the fireplace landing. Jackson did NOT want Karis on his roads and she did NOT want Jackson on hers! So there!

But just 2 seconds later, here they are embracing and posing for the nicest of pictures! Smiling pals these two cuties! They are 20 months apart. They play together all day ... sometimes they fight over toys, but mostly they seem to enjoy each other quite a bit.

Since Karis was dressed in a "swirly dress" she showed me how she spins and makes her dress flair out real wide. She even did a fancy pirouette! Jackson watched Karis spinning, carefully took her by the arms and began a very grown-up looking dance with her! And the look on his face was so cute.

Here is little Miss Karis showing me the pretty princess shoes I sent for her 3rd birthday. She likes to put them on and attempt walking around the house very dainty-like.

Here is a little story of something that happened this morning with Jackson and Karis in the van on our drive to church. Karis had been naughty about something and was being corrected by her parents, so she began to cry (no one likes to be disciplined!) ... Jackson looked at Karis with the saddest little face and said: "Mommy, my heart is sad when Karis cries." I think that is very sweet, Jackson!
