Blessings in a Simple LifeThere are tiny glimpses of miracles everyday in life; I am writing this blog as a way to keep track of the simple joys that God has given me in an ordinary day.

It is that time again...both of my "little bits" are going through growth spurts. I am so thankful that they are growing and developing so well. It amazes me to watch them flurish in so many ways in their short little lives. Abigail is going to be 3 on Tuesday, May 2. She has been singing her alphabet song, counting to thirty, and recognizing sight words for nearly 6 months now. She is very impressed with herself whenever she successfully hops on one foot. Aiden will be 16 months on May 7 and is doing his best to catch up with his big sister. He is a chronic lover, kissing me repeatedly for nearly fifteen minutes straight 5-7 times a day. He is talking more and more and eats like there is no tomorrow. He has been trying to learn how to do somersaults and dances to the Backyardigans' Hokey-Pokey, turning himself around at the appropriate times. So why the pains? I just have this small desire for them to slow down and be babies for a while longer. Knowing that I will not be able to have any more children saddens me a bit. I am so very thankful for God's faithfulness during my pregnancies with them, for His comfort during my previous miscarriages, and for His giving me two beautiful children who bless my life in ways much bigger than their tiny bodies each day. When I was struggling at first with Opa's passing, Abigail pointed out to me that mommy's purple flowers came back to see her (my azaleas bloomed), and the excitement and wonder in her voice really convicted me to pay more attention to those small everyday blessings. Just like the title of my blog. So, though it is difficult to let go a little bit each day, I am thankful for the now that our faithful Father has given me with my little blessings. I am posting a couple newer pictures above of the kiddos. I hope you enjoy them!
