Thankful

Tonight Bryan and I are feeling extra thankful for our two happy, happy children.

This week Campbell has decided to get up two or even three times during the night. The second she spots my face looking down over her, she is ear to ear grins- cooing and giggling in delight! The hour doesn't matter... 10:30 at night or 4:30 in the morning... she acts as if she's wide awake, ready to spread some joy and I'm the exact one she wants to play with!  Her squeals even woke Bryan early this morning.  She is full of it!  It's hard to be frustrated with our sweet girl when that's how I find her... even if it is a little too frequently during the nighttime hours!  

Her sweet brother has had me wrapped around his finger from the start.  I have said many times we think he is just a joyful, joyful soul.  It's the small ways he loves me each day that make my heart melt and reaffirm God made him perfectly for me.  His latest is to really, really hug me tight every time I pick him up.  He then forcefully turns my head to the side and slowly, gently plants the sweetest kiss on my cheek!  Sheesh kid!  It doesn't take much for me, but he is such a lover and makes me tear up and burst with pride at his sweet, joyful ways.

Our children are healthy and happy.  Our prayers have truly been answered.  We are thankful.
