So I have these 4 kids. To some it is a lot, to me its a perfect fit. Tonight at the dinner table (eating spaghetti) I watched these four little people sitting at my table. Eben was shoving in Gerber crackers, Jocelyn had her spaghetti every where but in her mouth, Avery was devouring the bread, and Carys was sitting quietly eating and every so often she would look up to see what everyone else was doing. To me it was one of those moments where everything was still. I just sat there watching them, laughing, smiling, and listening to the conversations that they were having and what about. It was very centered on a certain little man in our house who takes the show usually (Eben). His three sisters cant get enough of him, and he knows it. They baby talk him, they coddle to him, they kiss him relentlessly, and tell him they love him, ALL DAY.
I sat there thinking of all of those great things I love about each of them, and I cant imagine myself without even one of them, they all were meant to come to me and be with Aaron and I for what ever reason. I sometimes wonder why I was entrusted with these kids, but I should stop questioning it, because I know I just have to enjoy them and soak it all in.
Now I know what my Mom is always talking about when she says she wishes we were little again, or that we will always be her babies. I cant imagine NOT feeling that way, and I don't want them growing up, but that is what they are doing right before my very eyes.

The Lord has blessed you very much. Kids are great when they are young, but I really enjoy my grown up men and women too. I even enjoyed a lot of their teenage years believe it or not.
Tears flowing... I miss you guys!
I feel the same way when I look at my 3 boys. I wonder where the time has gone. they have brought so much joy and grown up way to fast. Enjoy your family.
