...our evening tonight. I want to remember my husband holding Jamie and flying helicopters with Benjamin. I want to remember Benjamin laughing his head off as his dad gave him good night kisses and giving him raspberries on his neck! I want to remember my little girl reaching out for her daddy cause she is tired and ready to snuggle down and she seems to prefer his snuggles to mine when he's around. I want to remember my sweet little children just being children. I want to remember Benjamin squinting and trying to close his eyes while he holds his little folded arms and has family prayers with us. I want to remember Jamie crawling around, finding every little thing that could fit in her mouth and shoving it in. I want to remember Benjamin wrapping his arms around me and throwing his head back just laughing and trying to make me forget that it's time for him to bed...and realizing 10 more minutes with him is totally worth it! I want to remember hearing my husband sing "I am a Child of God" to Benjamin as he lays him down to sleep and watching Benjamin smiling the whole time. I love these little moments that make up my life. They seem almost too wonderful to be real...and yet they happen often. Not every moment is wonderful, but more often then not, my life is made up of wonderful moments! I am so thankful for a sweet and understanding husband that doesn't get frustrated when my dishes aren't done and comes home ready to play and hang out with his smallest, yet most dedicated fans! I am thankful for the joy I feel in motherhood and that Heavenly Father entrusted me with these two sweet souls. I use to be so frustrated that Heavenly Father made me wait so long to find my husband and give me children. If only I would have known how wonderful it would be, I wouldn't have been so frustrated. Cause the wait was well worth it!
