The Best Days

I'm still here! Just in case you wondered... It's the beginning of a new year still, right? I recently came to the conclusion that these are the best days/years of our lives. I wake up to two smiles in the morning, often both tucked in beside me. The littlest smile has sprouted a tooth nub, though you must feel it to know it's there. We snuggle every moment we can and I continue to be enraptured and amazed by God's blessing of a little brother. The big brother steals a snuggle every now and then and often has to be reprimanded for rolling around "too much" with his little bud. Yes, wrestling already. He can't help it. He waited nearly five years for a brother. Cherish each moment. Absorb every hug. Snuffle each wisp of baby hair and each big brother ear. Love. Always.

I was here just a little while ago looking for the photo of Grandpa as a ring bearer.

That baby looks a bit concerned. :)

How was your dance in the rain today? Or maybe it was just Josh...

It was just Josh. Jake was cranky and I think it was too wet to take a sick baby for a walk, so I stayed in. Josh got muddy though... He enjoyed that. :)

The look on Jake's face is priceless!!

I miss those days when my kids were small. I miss the creative play and that they were here and that they needed me.
