Secrets of Abelingland - Choose Happiness

We were driving home from our anniversary weekend and I started to feel sad and depressed

We had just stopped at Toys R Us to get the boys a present

{shocker}

and Dan looked at me and basically said

"what the F do you have to be sad about?#@!!"

jerk.

No, just kidding, 

He said, "Vic look, you have to choose to be happy."

I sat there pouting.

I hate when he is right

But I did.

And its actually addicting and a therapy in its own right

Singing in the shower, listening to "spa" music, and complying with that promise I made weeks ago help too

So I choose Happiness

A Rare Smile

When your mom takes 20 thousand pictures of you, you develop and aversion for the camera.
And smiling.
And saying cheese.
So I rarely get a picture of Nicky smiling at me.
But I did get lucky and capture this a couple weeks back.
I love it.
He looks so grown up, carefree and happy.
Happy Nicky

Happiest Baby on the Block

The thing about Brandon is that he is so happy. He laughs. He giggles. He coos non stop. He gurgles and hiccups. Its hard to remember that babies can be easy after you have a Nicholas. I personally think this was God's way of making sure I did not jump off a deep end with another "high need, high maintenance" child :)
Here is Brandon talking while Daddy and Nicky put together the new table and chairs in the play room



And here are some more pictures from weeks 17 & 18 of the happiest baby on the block!
