Blessings

On our way home from church today I was asking Trevor and Cambria about what they learned and what they did in their classes. Cambria kept saying "Do As I'm Doing"...that's what she learned and what she did. Trevor said, "We talked about putting your hands on my head when I'm sick for a blessing. It's so my head will remember to NOT get sick." I laughed quietly to myself all the way home.
Trevor, Cambria, and Ethan are three of the greatest blessings I have (since we're on the topic of blessings...). They are so pure, innnocent, and teachable at this age and sometimes I worry that I don't take advantage of that enough. Every day I laugh at something funny one of them does or says and I wonder why it's so easy for me to forget t that this is precious time that will be gone before I know it. Sure they require much of my attention, and yes they make messes that I have to clean up and it's my job to dress, feed, clean, and groom them, but hey! Soon enough they won't want to sit on my lap anymore or spend time with me because I'm "embarrassing" them (hopefully it won't be that bad). So my motto for right now and the near future is ENJOY THE MOMENT--it won't last forever. Littles are lots of work, but just maybe the rewards will be much more than we think!
