A Thankful thought


As we prepare to leave town for Thanksgiving, I have thought a lot about what I am most thankful for right now. Easily I can say Motherhood. It is always a time of reflection for me after having a baby. I feel so blessed to have just brought this sweet baby into the world. He's a special addition to our family. I feel it a blessing to be responsible for these little ones and to have been entrusted with them. And although its not always an easy road..... I wouldn't trade my job for anything.
A few days ago, I walked in to find Joshy with his arm around Cole. It melted my heart!! If I could just remember this image, when my boys beat on each other, give each other bloody noses, and wrestle non stop...also things I walked into find this week! Gotta love those physical boys.

Great perspective. There is something about the constant fighting/wrestling/teasing/torturing of boys that we love, but still wish they would be NICE. WIsh we were closer....one day.
