Bond of brothers

I was getting the boys dressed on Saturday morning when Griffin pulled out his tunnel. Next thing you know something beautiful happened before my very eyes. For the first time my boys REALLY played together. I had so much fun watching them entertain each other! This Momma could not get enough of the deep down belly laughs ...

Motherhood...

Being a mother...

I wish I could put to words the feeling that I get when I look at my boys.

I have loved very deeply before,

but this is different.

When I think about them

I can actually feel my heart.

I pray for their happiness

and the ability to take away their pain...

I try to be just a little kinder to others

and to enjoy life a little more

because I know that they are watching.

The world is not a pretty place,

but I try to do my part to make it better.

For my boys...

I love to watch them take in life

you know,

the little things that we take for granted.

Watching Roman touch a blade of grass in for the first time.

Listening to Griffin say "Wow" when he sees things that amaze him

like big buildings and Christmas lights.

When I look at my boys I see the good.

I don't remember the months of interrupted sleep

and I don't remember the throw yourself on the floor tantrums.

Instead I see that God really loves me.

He loves me so much that he entrusted me with these precious gifts...
