So....I do have other children!


So...most of you know me for my ebay and etsy business and you are bombarded with pictures of my Chloe. I wanted to show you two of Miss Chloe's biggest fans and her protectors...Her brothers, Wesley, who is 15, and Jesse, who is 12.
It seems like only yesterday when I had Wesley. Now, he will be driving this summer. Scary. And little Jesse, who has actually caught up with his big brother, is acting more and more mature every day. He is shaving now, which drives his big brother nuts! (I blame the excessive facial hair on crazy hormones given to livestock and ingested by us through milk and chicken...etc!) He has been shaving for about a year now. Crazy for an eleven year old to have to start shaving! Anyway, they are great protectors of their little sister. It started with our sonogram when our nurse snuck the boys into the room to get their first glimpse of their baby sister in my tummy. She went through the usual "these are the fingers. This is the heart..." but when she said, "now let's look between the legs" - little Jesse went nuts! How dare they do that to his baby!!! They will NOT let little boys say they like her - even though she is the "girlfriend" of every boy in her class and in the neighborhood. It drives them nuts. The first night we came home from the hospital with Chloe, Wesley actually beat me to get her when she had her "midnight cry". He was sitting in her room rocking her when I walked in. Such a sweet memory. The boys will be awesome dads.
This photo was taken for ebay designer Denise of So*Cherished. She made me the most gorgeous clay tile necklace out of my babies' picture. It is my most treasured piece of jewelry. I highly reccommend her.
So now you know...I do have other children.
