There's Nothing Better. . .

IMG_0678.jpg. . . than sleeping children. Am I right? They just look so cute and peaceful don't they? I was playing with the flash on my camera phone and decided to try and snap some photos of the children sleeping.IMG_0679.jpg
It must have been a bit warm last night. David, almost every night, goes to sleep sniffing his blanket.
IMG_0668.jpgThese two girls were fighting just hours earlier. Rebecca was being bossy and Rachel wasn't going to obey her. Apparently, Rebecca kicked Rachel in the stomach. When I went to check on the kids Rachel wasn't in her bed. I guess they made up.
IMG_0680.jpgAll of children share a room with a sibling. The older two girls share a room, the boys share a room, and then the little girls, my babies share a room together. I've realized that Anna won't sleep without her older sister. I found this out the hard way when I went out to visit Lauren. If we're in a strange place Anna is fine as long as Elizabeth is in the room with her. I love that she loves being with her sister.
IMG_0684.jpgElizabeth is the last binky sucker in the family. I haven't even tried to break her of this habit. Who knows if I ever will. She just had a check up earlier in the day and received the sticker stuck to her leg along with a shot in about the same place. Poor thing.
I love sleeping children. I love just watching them.

They are so sweet! It's true, a mother could stare at her sleeping children forever.

The Thomas underwear is my favorite. :-) So precious.

Everything seems right with the world when babies are sleeping.

These are SO cute! How did you do that without waking them up? I've always wanted to take sleeping kid pics (because they are so incredibly precious) but my camera cluelessness has prevented it thus far.

Oh I love this. Yes, yes, yes. Just staring at their peaceful faces and looking at their little bodies in such wonderment. What miracles and gifts these short people are. :)

And what a nice break from their, um, awake-ness. :)

I love it. Sleeping kids are the best kids. Someday, you will love looking back at all these precious pictures and memories. You're a good mom.
