I am listening to Jared interact with our sweet kiddos and my heart is once again overwhelmed with such joy! Jared is such a good daddy! He is already teaching our daughter how she should be treated by men some day and is a great role model for our son. I am so thankful for my Mr. Wonderful!!!
In other news...
Today as I was sweeping the entrance by our door, Brogan decided to help me. Only his version of helping was to spread the dirt I was sweeping into one pile all around the floor. It was cute (and kind-of gross and yes, I washed his hands). It made me think about the times I attempt to "help" God when He is working. Sometimes, I just make a huge mess in my attempts to help move things along. He usually responds the way I did with Brogan...gently removes me from the situation while he picks up the mess. I love how I can so often find lessons from God in things my children do. I don't think that's by accident. We serve a great God who cares about us enough to gently show us areas that we need to improve in.
Addi is getting super excited about her upcoming birthday party in a couple weeks. I am getting excited, too...but am also getting a little teary-eyed thinking about the time that has already passed by so fast. I was reading a book my sister made for Addi that contains posts about my pregnancy and sobbed my eyes out yesterday. I was experiencing emotions while pregnant that I was so unfamiliar with (love that I didn't even know existed) and then when she was born that love compounded so much more. It is SO bittersweet to watch her grow. Breaks my heart, yet blesses it at the same time. I can't explain the emotions, but yes, I'm already becoming a huge, sentimental sap and she won't be three until March 9th. Geeze.
Today we went to the pet store and then to Old Navy. Addi loves pets, but goodness, she loves clothes even more. Everything was "cute!" Brogan liked the pet store, but was not amused by Old Navy and kept screaming, "Get out!" Which was my cue to leave as quickly as possible before every eye in the place turned in our direction. ;) Later we took a walk around our neighborhood, and Addi exclaimed that some flowers smelled like "smelly, stinky yogurt". Haha. She loves yogurt...but apparently does not love the smell. :)
That pretty much sums up our world right now. Not a ton of exciting things going on at the present moment, but each day is definitely an adventure! Blessed and thankful!
