Living

We had such a nice Saturday today. The kids spent the night with SuSu and Poppa last night. I went for a nice run this morning and then we went to get them. K and I did a little shopping. I found some super deals on shorts for Whit. For some reason I am missing like 3 pairs of his shorts. It was weird! We came home and the kids went down for a nap. My kids go 90 to nothing all day long. I swear Whit falls asleep while jumping up and down. This moment is rare. A sweet, quiet sleeping boy.......all cuddled up. (and in his pull up too) I love these moments. Life is so busy, and they grow so fast. But sometimes, I do take the time to enjoy the moment I am in. It's a busy life, but how can you feel overwhelmed when you have this in your house? :)

And then he woke up....;)

We spent the evening with the kids, grilled out, played in the yard. It was SO nice!

A little bike ride before bed...

Kennedy wanted to watch the sunset. When is the last time I took time to watch a sunset from my front yard? I can't even remember!

I think so many times life flies by and we don't stop to appreciate it. We have friends who have a daughter battling cancer. She's 3. I think so much of how Tonya's cancer changed me. I think about how each and every experience I have walked through has changed me. Losing my first baby made me a different person. I am SO very thankful for my path to motherhood. I can't wait to meet that precious baby someday. He or she changed my life. Cancer has changed our lives. It's all made us realize that life is about living. Don't get me wrong, I do get overwhelmed. I do feel like I don't have enough hours in the day. I feel like I don't make enough time for what is important. But, on days like these, where we stop and watch a sunset with our babies, its knowing that life's moments are precious is what matters. I need to stop more. I need to appreciate more. I need to tell them I love them more. We need to watch more sunsets. What a precious God I serve, to give me the joys of my heart. He gave me all I desired and more. I am so very GLAD we have our faith in Him. It is Christ that is holding our sweet friend, Anna Hays, as she battles cancer. It is He who healed Tonya. It is He who holds my precious first baby until I get to hold it someday. I am one thankful mommy yet again today. I am thankful for living. Thank you God for giving us this day. To quote my mother and some scripture at the same time, "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. " I am glad we take the time to rejoice.
