This is it...

This morning I was feeding Sarah in our bed and the boys came in to cuddle with us. I laid there with my eyes half open and had one of those moments where I thought, "this is it." This is my dreams come true. This is bliss. We have three amazing children that God has entrusted us with. Amazing.
For now, all they want is us. They just want Jason and I to love them and accept them and embrace them. It's such a big job, yet it is so simple as well.
I bought the boys some legos yesterday. The three of us sat on the floor and played for abour an hour. Dylan started casually telling me details about his day at school. I always try to get him to tell me about it in the car on the way home and he doesn't say much. It hit me again yesterday that he wants to talk on his timing and I have to be ready for those moments because kids know if you really are listening to them or not. Driving in the car isn't the best time for him because he wants my full attention.
Oh, I need help. Dylan says there is this girl in his class who tells him he is stupid! And she hits him and pinches him! Heartbreaking for a momma to hear! What do I do with that?! The good thing though is that he doesn't seem too bothered by it. I mean he doesn't like it, obviously. But he isn't crying about it or letting it stop him from enjoying life. This gives me hope that he is confident that he is loved and he is confident in himself even though someone is telling him he is stupid! Oh my goodness, I wish I could protect them from the harshness of the world, but I know I can't. Just another reason why I need my God. I get to rest in the fact that He loves them more than I do, and that He is their daddy. I pray that they will grow to love Him and trust Him. And that they won't be bogged down by the struggles in life.
I wanted to take a picture of them in bed with me, but like I said my eyes were half open and there was no way that my body would move. So here is a picture of them now with their legos.


Love,
Mindy
