Kids - March 2009

My boys are suddenly boys and not babies anymore. It is amazing how they can grow up infront of your eyes and then one just you just realise - WOW!

I must say I am enjoying them so much lately and we really have a lot of fun together in the afternoons at home.

These photos were taken at our local mall for a toddler of the year competition - they are both finalists at the event that will take place mid-April.
