When Taylor is in a mood.... YOWZERS! Just don't mess with him:

Benson Snake Holding:
Britton Snake Kissing:
Ava Snake Loving:
Taylor Snake Laughing:
The twins, in the end, were able to spend 11.5 days with us in the states and at our home. We had a BLAST with them and just did SO MANY THINGS! The boys love them so much and are always sad to see them leave, but they have a bit of a grip on why it is the way it is. Of course it is the hardest on Dan, and the thought of him not being able to see them for another year just tears at his heart.
They have really developed such little personalities! Taylor is a giggler, cranky buns in the morning, and if you upset him don't even try to make it right or you will get the "look." He is still my Robin Roo and sticks by my side at all times, but you can tell he is getting more independent. He loves Dan so much and Dan was the only one he would go to first thing in the morning.
Ava is still a Daddy's Girl to the T! Any time I would call her Ava, she would look at me and tell me that was not what I called her and that I called her Princess Poo! That is the name I came up with her last time we had her because I sing songs and rhyme them and she ended up being Princess Poo in all the songs. Apparently she liked it. HA HA! She is a HUGE pouter, and thumb sucker, but of course I can't handle either so we put her on the star system (where if she was good she received stars and if she was naughty she got them taken away). Well anytime she pouted or sucked her thumb I took away a star. Needless to say by the end of the 11 days she was over both habits.... hopefully she does not go back!
You can tell there is not a lot of discipline in their home and that was a bit hard to deal with because Dan and I are really strict. It is amazing though how if you set boundaries that kids will respond and love it.
I truly enjoyed having them here. I loved Ava's MATTER OF FACT personality and Taylor's laughing as he would have Tooty Booties! HA HA! I am praying when we go to court on the 24th the judge will give us more time with them.

I'm so happy that you were able to at least have the 11 days with them. I can only imagine how hectic life is with 4 (almost 5) little ones running around the house. I think that it is so important to recognize that little miss Princess Poo remembered that you called her that and asked for it. Even though there is lots of time between visits, they know in their hearts how much their Daddy, you and their brothers love them. I know that they love and miss you just as much as you do them. You have such a beautiful family!! I love you and miss you all sooooo much!! I will see you soon!!!!
You do have a beautiful family!!! Can't wait to see the newest one coming!!!
Ok, the snake is giving me the chills! Ahhh...I don't like snakes :) Glad you had such a good time with all of your kids, they are all adorable!
