Tell me it isn't so. . . .

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that my BABY just started Kindergarten. But not only that, my MIDDLE child is a big first grader and my OLDEST is in his 2nd year of COLLEGE! Yikes, how did this happen?

THIS is why I wanted to start a blog. My sweet thangs are growing up way too fast and I want to make it stop.

Things I enjoy about my Son: Jordan Keith age 19. . .very soon to be the big 2 and 0!!!

The way we relate and the adult conversations we share

His handsomeness! He is smashing if I do say so myself

His heart, and how he wants to save the world and cares so much about others

Our Coffee dates

His love for History, writing, conspiracy theories and politics

The phone calls about unimportant things, or just to say hi

How he still cares about what I think

His head over heals love for his sisters

His hugs

His deep intellectual thoughts and conversations, even though it makes my head hurt

His beautiful dark brown eyes

How important family is to him

Things I enjoy about my sweet McKenna Jean: Age 6

The kindness of her heart, and how she worries about others.

Her joyous, full of life laugh.

When she tells me "You're the best Mom I ever had!" and I reply, "I'm the ONLY Mom you've ever had." and the just smiles and laughs because she doesn't "get it".

Her willingness to always help

The fact that she is a rule follower

Her artistic abilities {They did NOT come from her Momma!}

The lisp she now has because of her lack of teeth

How independent she is becoming
That she gets as excited as I do when it comes to DIY and decorating
The love she has for her family
How she always wants to have friends over, or to be going somewhere

  

Things I enjoy about my sweet Morgan Joella: Age 5

Her full of life personality

The fact that she still lets me carry her {After all, she is my baby}

Snuggle time with Mommy

That she is my prayer warrior, always going to prayer first in time of need

The fact that she loves PINK

Her magnetic personality

Our one-on-one time every afternoon while big Sis is in school

The sparkle in her eyes

The cute way that she mispronounces words {I secretly don't correct her because it's just precious}

Her little tiny voice

The fact that she never stops talking

How she falls asleep in 2.2 seconds
That she has her Mom's appreciation for a Sunday afternoon of "house" shopping and love for the parade of homes.

While writing this I noticed a similarity. All three of my children have a heart for others and love their family deeply. Yet at the same time they are so very different from one another. Thank you God for blessing me with each one of them.
