What This Is About

I'm joining the blog bandwagon! I don't know that I'll make a point to share this with others because I am really doing it for the boys and for me to have to reflect on. When Brent was a baby I kept a first year calendar and on each day I jotted down milestones or things we did that day. The boys are growing so fast and the days just run together in one big blur. It is really nice to have that calendar of his first year to look back on. I regret not keeping it going each year and that I haven't kept up with one for Wyatt. I'm sure I will always remember the day they were born, special days like holidays, birthdays, first this and first that, but there are so many little moments that I treasure in my heart that I know will fade from my memory with time.

Last night I was cleaning up in the kitchen and Brent and Wyatt were running laps around the living room...one pushing the popper and one pushing the "motorcycle on a stick". I stood there watching them and thinking how this was all I ever wanted from life. It was just heartwarming to watch them running around squealing and enjoying each other so much. I actually watch them and think to myself "Wow! These are my little boys. How did I get so lucky?" They just mean the world to me. The other night I was laying in bed and thought I don't care if I never get anything else good in life, I don't care if we never have more money and more materialistic things, I'll gladly give all that up if I could just know that our little family will always be together and that we will always be safe. I always knew being a mom would change my heart in unbelievable ways, but nothing could have prepared for me for the love I carry for these guys.
