LOVE THEM. Live in the present. Remember grace abounds. Feed them real food. Let them see you struggle. PRAY LOTS. don't be afraid to let them fail. Ask for forgiveness. BE STILL. LOVE THEM.

I just LOVE these boys…

The other day I walked down the hallway to find Gavin had wiggled out of the locked tray of his high chair.  He threw his bulky bib off which then created room to squirm and VOILA…..

001

I freaked of course and snatched him up so he wouldn’t fall but then as all of us snap happy moms would do, I put him back on it so I could take a picture! He was so thrilled with himself both times he was TRAY SURFING.  This is his dangerous and mischievous side but I also love this side…..

002

That he is a lover and a snuggler!

003 004 005

How could I resist the gigglefest and ticklish side…..

004

I pinned Daddy!

Then there is Bradley Bear who in all of his terrible three’s stage right now still finds a way to melt my heart with his words.  Here are some of Bradley’s quotes I never want to forget.

004

“That’s a great idea Captain Mommy!”

“You got a smart eye to look out!” (When I had pointed to a toy he missed picking up)

This one is so sweet but random.  He was putting ornaments back on the tree for me that Gavin took off.  He was looking for a spot to hang it and said…

“I guess this spot is fine if God doesn’t mind.”

I said “Who?” because I thought he said the word “guy.”

He replied, “God, the God that lives in my heart.  I can say that Mommy because he is my family.  If he lives in your heart than God is your family and if he’s not in your heart than he’s not your family!”

I was flabbergasted at his maturity.  He also walks around the house singing the lyrics to “Our God is an awesome God; He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love.  Our God is an Awesome God!”

The last quote.  We were saying prayers and I said “Thank you for our health” and he added “yeah, thank you God that we don’t crack apart!”

As you can see and read I have many wonderful reasons to LOVE these BOYS and I can’t wait to LOVE another!
