Good Times.....

The kids had a blast collecting candy with their friends from church.  It was our first "Trunk-or-Treat".  In the church parking lot the kids went from trunk to trunk filling up their bags with loot.  

With the boys we had The Incredible "Mini" Hulk, Thor, Wolverine, and a lion cub.  When we asked our only daughter what she wanted to dress up as, she said a princess....of course.

On the verge of "Toddlerhood"......

Luke is approaching the 10 month mark....which in this household means the beginning of Toddlerhood....sniff....already? 

Believe me you, I am all about stealing as many snuggles as this mama can get...because once this little guy lets go, he will be "gone"...on the go....ready to move. 

And I will be frantically chasing him all day helping him to dodge major injury. He's been pushing his "wheels" around quite steadily the past couple of days. Let me tell you, this little guy thinks he is cool stuff. 

Is it selfish of me if I'm not ready to let him "go" just yet?  Regardless....Luke is my baby...and he always will be....even while I am trying to catch my breath chasing him as he runs circles around his mama.

The Time Out Box.....

....just kidding

Cardboard box + 3 Cochran kids = hours of fun

Something special......

So these two have kind of a special relationship. You would not guess it by this picture, but little miss cuteness can be quite sassy with her biggest brother. 

Then....there are times like these that absolutely make me melt. I keep my camera handy on the bookshelf, so that I can capture moments like these.

Noah is totally a lover, despite his action hero personality, and he craves snuggle time with his little sis.  And I know that he is melting inside too, when she wants big brother time.

I know..I know....she still uses a nucki. When to wean her from it, we're not sure. She has been the most attached to a pacifier out of all of our lovies.

Once that faze is over...once the nucki is no longer needed....well then....they just aren't babies anymore. So if you'll forgive me...it will just take a little bit of time for this mama to let go and let her little baby girl become a big girl...sniff.

A little girl that's loved.....

Watching these two definitely put a smile on my face. She can be a little sassy with her big brothers....but she would be lost without them.

To be Inspired......

 

 Inspiration is all around us.......

  

Just ask Lauren.....

Her big brother inspires her.......
