What do you love the most about your kids...and your husband?

As I try to take it all in...having a 3 year old a 1 year old and a baby girl on the way, I try to enjoy the little things each of them brings to my life.

My Bennett's independence is flourishing, he wants to eat by himself, bathe himself and many other things, initially I was sad but, I love that I see that in him and pray that he becomes a strong, independent individual that can accomplish any goal he sets for himself.

Brock is very strong physically and has a strong will like his mama...he is starting to really show when he is not happy about something and sometimes I don't know what to do about correcting that (hitting his brother)!! Although I don't like it, I do...I want him to be strong and courageous, stand up for himself and others.  He is such a lover though! I can't get enough of that!

My baby girl is growing well and I just love dreaming about her life...will she be mellow like Greg or crazy like me? Will she look like daddy and his brothers or more Mexican, like me?

My husband, the love of my life, my one and only love is...everything to me. I just don't know what I would do without him!    We try to spend a few minutes talking and making out before bed (that is hugging for a few minutes and kissing on the lips). How is that for making out?

My life is about to get a little crazier and I just want to enjoy it. One of you guys said to me, "Long days, short years" and you are so right so, I decided that even if I have an awful day I will be thankful and enjoy the little things that are so precious.
Thanks for letting me share and have my therapy for the day! Have a great one and God Bless!
My strong willed child and his very mellow dad!

 Love having pictures taken of the boys. Carrie does a great job and somehow always manages to get some good pictures of the boys. Every time we see her I am amazed she can even get them to look at the camera. Let alone smile! Enjoy!

Brock is one year old!

 My baby boy is one year old! Wow... time flies! I am always amazed at the love children bring into your life and how much richer it is because of them. I try to just take it all in, even when there is chaos... which it happens quite a bit around here with 4 boys running around.
I just enjoy the precious time God has given to us with them and treasure the blessing and tremendous responsibility it is.
As I wait anxiously for my baby girl I can't help but dream about what she will look like and what she will be like. Although I worry about it all, I can't help but be full of excitement for what God has planned for us.
Take a moment to take it all in...look at your babies.... enjoy and be thankful!
