My favorite part of the day!

It's been a hectic few weeks. I have been working way too much...
But the best part of the day is ALWAYS being home with my boys!
Their laughter, smiles, hugs and kisses are contagious. I thank God constantly for the precious gifts I have -

John is an amazing man! After five years of marriage I still am amazed by him. He's so giving and forgiving and patient and kind. He is true to his vows every day. He loves me for better & worse. I keep thinking how lucky I am to have him as my life partner, but I know it isn't luck! God drew me to this man. God made it clear that John was best for me. What a precious gift!

Ethan is an amazing little man! He is such a grown up. I cannot believe that he will turn three in March. It's such a cliche, but it's true - THEY GROW UP WAY TOO FAST! He is so affectionate and loving. He is protective of his brother. He loves to figure out how things work (a gift he DID NOT get from me) and he loves to imitate his Daddy. He is an excellent helper. And he says the cutest things. He is very artistically inclined - his favorite things to do are paint, read or play his instruements. His aim is always to please Mom & Dad. It's incredible to realize that Ethan is a gift entrusted to me to love and grow.

Nolan is also, way too quickly, becoming an amazing little man! He's easy going and playful. But if he has his mind set on something he will expend all his energy to get what he wants. He's great at sharing (if you ask nicely first)! He thinks he is just as big as Ethan & he is truly fearless. He is outgoing & talkative (it's like we have a parrot in the house)! I know he knows so much...He's started singing his ABC's and Ring Around the Rosey. He tells me what he sees in books. The blessings he brings me are limitless!

I am so excited to watch as they continue to become amazing men. And with such a great example to guide them I have no doubt they will always amaze me!

Yep, being at home with my men is by far my favorite part of the day!
