I cherish the little things. I want to remember the small voices that say "my luv you brudder." Or "us two boys." Or Jayne Elizabeth singing "i am peshal, i am peshal, God luv MEEEE." Or Johnathan saying "Mommy, my need tell you something." Then he begins his long story about bears in the bushes or his friend "Sam" working cows. These are the moments that make my life. These are the reasons I stay home. This is why we still rock our 18 month old baby girl to sleep. Maybe even why we say "no" to TV, and yes to time together as a family. God is faithful, and I am thankful. I love my husband, and adore these kids. There is crying babies everyday, somedays all day! But, I do have help and these are the moments I live for. I wouldn't trade the tantrums for anything, because these are the moments.

Yes, we still snuggle these boys in our bed, and love it.

Great post - brings tears to my eyes!! I still sleep with my babies too and hopefully always will!! (not all night, but a little bit every night)
Wonderful! I totally agree!
What a sweet and thoughtful post. Thanks for reminding me that after a long and tiring day, I, too, share your sentiments. We are very blessed to be able to stay home with our babies and share with them the love of God!
