Best Friends


Last month Michayla came over for a sleep over! We had an absolute blast having her here! These two are so cute together! We did lots of special things while Michayla was with us. Ice cream for bedtime snack, a morning at Central Market for flowers & gummies, Prince St. Cafe for Breakfast & Monkey Bread with a movie for the afternoon! I just absolutely love this picture! I just had to share it!

... and my heart grew!

Dear Jorden, Jonathan & Uriah,

You all bring me SO much JOY! I love spending time with you, I also love watching you play together. There are times yes, that I feel like I could pull my hair out, because you all need something at the same time. But, those times are far less then all the joy of having you as my beautiful children. It is amazing how God helps our hearts to grow. When it was just Jorden, I thought, "how can my heart hold any more love & how can I give anymore love?" But, then Jonathan, you came, and I loved you! My love for you was full...and my heart grew! Jorden, I still loved you & my love was still full for you too~ Isn't that amazing? God grew my heart! Again I thought, "how can my heart hold any more love & how can I give anymore love?" And then came Uriah! Uriah, I loved you completely! My love was full for you...and my heart grew~ I still loved Jorden & Jonathan the same...fully & completely! God grew my heart again. I love that.
Jorden, your courage is contagious. I am so proud of you and how you face your fears. You are beautiful! Kind. Smart. Creative. Compassionate. I love you!
Jonathan, you are strong & helpful. I love watching you ride bike & scooter. Legos & boxing. You laughter lights a room. I am blessed to call you my son.
Uriah, your smile melts my heart! It speaks peace, trust & joy to me. Your hugs are a sweet touch from heaven. Your energy keeps me young :) Keeps me on the move.
Jorden, Jonathan & Uriah, You are all learning so much right now~ It reminds me to keep learning & growing too! What amazing children you are! Thank you for all that you teach me & for all the love you give. I pray that God would bless each one of you with his presence & love. Listen for him. He will speak to you. He will grow your heart, when you think it can't grow anymore.
I love you...HE LOVES YOU MORE!

Love, Mommy


(this is a letter I wrote to the kids last night & felt like I wanted to share it as a way to honor my children! I hope it encourages & challenges you to do the same!)
