Our Little One...

My Lil Buddy

We have a little one in the house again..

We have the privilege of helping Ci’s lovely and beautiful boyfriend out as they work and Ci goes to school full time.

So the ones who know me well must know how ecstatic I must be..

Not just me but my hubby and  teenagers too.

Within the last couple of wks., we have spent more time outside.

We have dusted off the swing set, cleaned up the yard, and have spent a couple of evenings just sitting outside and enjoying the nice big piece of land that we have. 

We forgot what it is like to have a little one that gets excited about everything! 

How she is thankful for everything, and cheers us on. How she yells our names as she walks in our door ready to greet us and let us know she is there. She brings such joy and more laughter to our home.

We now see and hear every choochoo train that goes by, and took for granted the beauty of living in the country. I now notice the pretty flowers (weeds), Cows,  Horsies, and the Acorn (aka Long Horns) that are along the drive home. 

I have been reminded how to have patience each morning and night as she has to hug and kiss everyone before bed and when we leave for work each day, yes everyone including all the animals in the house.  

She is 2 years old and has more compassion and the biggest heart than most adults I know. 

This little one has helped heal this bitter heart, and I know this is giving me just a small taste of what is to come..

 It is making the upcoming prom for my Boys more doable, and the fact that my babies are going to be Seniors and an 8^th grader.  YIKES!!

My Precious Family

It is helping me to open my eyes and get excited for what God is doing and has planned for their lives instead of dreading it and wishing time will slow down..

And for that, I am oh so grateful..
