Okay, I know that we all love our children : ) but I just get an overwhelming urge to express my infinite love for my children from time to time. I took my babies to the park today and of course snapped a zillion pictures. Simply watching the two of them today seemed to mesmerize me and I fell in love all over again.
Austin is so grown now. Just watching him today made me wonder where the years have drifted off too. Jeff and I are celebrating eight years of marriage today and I don’t know where those years disappeared too either! I know that, as humans, we all dream of what our lives could be like if…we only had more money, more time, more things, a nicer car, a bigger house…but at the end of everyday all that really brings true joy to our hearts are the people that we love. And there is nothing more rewarding than being the recipient of the unconditional love that our children poses for us, as their parents. This new job that Jeff has is providing more life and love growth for our family than I ever dreamed possible. We have time together that we have never had the opportunity to engage in before. We actually get to eat dinner together 3 or 4 nights per week and Jeff gets to tuck the boys into bed instead of telling them goodnight over the phone. This is invaluable to my children and it becomes more and more apparent to me with each passing day. Boys need their Father’s in their lives full time! Austin is so happy with the new found time that he gets to spend with his Dad and nothing in the world could replace that joy in his heart.
Ayden is one now and is growing by leaps and bounds. He is such a pleasant little boy. He has the cutest little “crinkled nose smile” that you will ever see! He is infatuated with his older brother and he melts the minute that Austin walks in the room. The smile and anticipation that covers his face as he waits for his brother to acknowledge him, is priceless. Of course Austin doesn’t always oblige him but he is getting better about it : )
I just love my children so much…as if y’all didn’t know that…and I felt a need to “shout it to the world” tonight! So, thanks for listening! Go hug your children…will ya?
