I Love My Kids

The past two days our children have really brought me joy. The kind of days that make your heart swell and you realize that there is no greater joy in the world...

This morning I was taking a little extra time waking up. Christian came in and asked if he could go downstairs. Maya had crawled into our bed at some point the night before and was still sleeping peacefully next to me. About twenty minutes later
he came back in with breakfast for us! He made toast with butter and jelly and brought us ice-water. He did the same for my Mom. What a little sweetheart! The look on his face was priceless. He was so proud of what he had done and I was so proud of his thoughtfulness.



Last night as we were eating dinner Maya asked my Mom, "what kind of smile did you have on your face when I was born?" Next she went around the table asking each person if they were there when she was born. My favorite was when she asked:

"Mom,were you there when I was born?"

Let's see...yes, I'm pretty sure I was there!

Thanks Kathy! At first I tried using a layout from the website you told me anout, but for some reason I couldn't figure it out:)

Thanks for the sweet, encouraging words. It's great to have a friend like you!

If you want to change, I can help you....oh, the layout of your template. It's weird how it works, but simple once you try. Otherwise, I love your choice here!
