I'm always blogging so late at night when I should be sleeping! Today I just feel overwhelmed with thankfulness. It's been a little over a year since we found out we were pregnant with Parker. The past year has been exciting and filled with a lot of anticipation. And pregnancy always comes with a lot of other unpleasant things as well. We've been through a lot of changes. I've learned it really takes a good year to have a baby, recover from it and adjust to it. Now that he's 4 months I finally feel like we are all getting adjusted! And he is just so dang cute all the time!! I just love him! This sounds so cheesy but there have been countless moments since he was born when there are a million things and people around and he and I look at each other and it's like everything else fades away. I just get caught up and mezmorized by him and it's wonderful...then all of a sudden I'll snap back into reality and realize I was just ignoring all my other kids for a whole minute or two and didn't even know it!
I'm so thankful that he is patiently teaching the other kids to love and share. The twins were so little when Annie was born that it almost feels like they are new to this! And everyone loves him so much that even when they do want my attention and get frustrated they never want him gone, they just want him to go "back in my tummy for a while"! Yesterday morning the kids wanted to eat their breakfast around the "campfire" and they always remember to include Parker in all that they do. It's so sweet! He LOVES them all so much! He loves to watch Mark jump on the couch and bed, he could smile at Elizabeth all day and even though Annie scares him sometimes with her aggressive energy..he still gets excited when she's around. I am so thankful for this season of life!!!
