Let me start off by saying, I cannot believe that Christmas is just around the corner, I felt like time flew before we had Cash and now I just honestly cannot believe he's six weeks already. SIX weeks...time is just going so quickly. I really wasn't even sure what to blog about, because I feel like I have SO many things I could write on, but since I can't really narrow it down and I don't have the alertness or energy to spend a couple of hours on a marathon blog, I'll just focus on a few favorites!
My heart is the happiest it's ever been in my life. I feel blessed to have had the life that I've had...and I feel as if it just continues to get better. God is showing me a glimpse of the love he has for his children by filling my heart with more love than I could ever dream of for these two boys. It does two things daily for me, amazes me of our fathers love for us, faults and all...and it keeps me in the moment, especially with time going so fast, I feel as if God's slowing me way down (mentally) and giving me moments all throughout the day where I'm just overflowing with laughter and joy while being with Brent and the boys.
Here's just a quick couple of examples, my words won't do a justice to how I've really been feeling but I'll try...today while rocking with Cash, Mase crawled up by me, snuggled up by me and layed his head on Cash's head for a good 10 minutes and just snuggled. I LOVED it. Cash is a bit feistier than Mase was, but when he falls asleep he looks SO sweet and I can't describe the peace I have even if he's screaming. (I won't say ALL the time he's screaming I'm at peace but more than I would normally be :)...and really overall he's a very good baby and calms down easily!)
Tonight was one of the most fun nights we've had with Mase. He was a bit slap happy from being overly tired but we were watching America's Funniest Videos and everytime a video showed something funny Mason would throw his head back in laughter with Brent and I. Whenever someone would get hurt he'd respond in, "UH-OH" then continue laughing....then there were some Christmas ones and he said...."SAAAANNNNTTTTAAAA!" and in one video the Christmas tree got ran over by a car and he proceeded to burst into tears!!! he was sad about that tree, it was needless to say, hilarious. Once he realized everything was okay...he continued cracking up at the following videos. OH man....nights like these and memories such as this are daily humbling to me, and OH so precious. I am really soaking in the moment of our life right now and loving every single second of it. (even the late night feedings and lack of sleep...we're still working on that...Cash's longest stint of sleep right now is about 5 hours, and making oursevles go to bed early because he's in bed is MUCH harder than it would seem to be, we find ourselves doing all the things we've wanted to do during the day but haven't had time to....i.e. this blog! HAHAH)
Well...that's where I'm at emotionally at the moment...I feel so lucky to be a mother to these two sweet boys...and am just so thankful. here's a few fun pictures...hope everyone's having a great holiday season! I LOVE this time of year!
here's to some growing cheeks...
