Blessed

It would be so incredibly easy to get on this blog and complain about all the things that drive me crazy. It is so easy to forget how fortunate I am. The number one thing is my kids. I look at all the things that could have gone wrong when I was pregnant or during my deliveries and I'm amazed that I have three perfect, healthy boys. It floors me sometimes, the depth of my love for them and my joy that they are the little men that they are.

Caleb is our first born. His 7th Birthday is looming next week and I can't believe how the time has flown. He is just finishing up first grade as well. He was born at a rocky time in our marriage and I think he is what kept us together and ultimately brought us back together when we nearly divorced. He is an amazing kid. Not only is he a very good looking kid with his light brown hair and blue eyes, he is so smart. We always get comments on his large vocabulary and how he talks like he is much older than he is. He is also a very good artist, which hubby & I scratch our heads at, since neither of us has a creative bone in our bodies. 

Josh & Jonah are our twins. They are 18 months old and at such a fun age. People ask all the time if they have different personalities, like which one is the good one and which is the bad one. These kind of questions baffle me. They are both good boys and the both get in to mischief. I do not prefer one over the other. They are both my kids!! They are definitely individuals and are really developing interesting littel quirks. I love this age so much and wish I could enjoy them being small for a long time.

Whenever I start to feel down I remember all the people who can't have kids or have lost their babies. My heart hurts for all of them. I can only say that it makes me realize how blessed we truly are.
