Away.

Away. I can't wait to get away. It's been a bit of a rough few weeks but tomorrow evening we hit the road for a nice long weekend at our favorite place in the world. I'm so excited to just BE with these three monkeys. No work, no phone, no nothing but eating, playing and sleeping :)

Jackson has been such a big helper lately. He is always willing to jump up and help me in any way he can. He has such a servant's heart and it makes my heart swell each time he joyfully serves someone else. 

While we were at the park in the photo above, the boys met a little 18 month old girl. It was like someone turned on their gentleman's switch! Soft and gentle, helping her with the slide, letting her fall back and land on them, sitting still while she examined their dark hair. They just had huge smiles on their faces the entire time. Made me want a little sister for them. At the end of our time with "Olivia" she gave Jackson a big kiss and he was just beaming. 

A little random, but a post nonetheless. Helps me remember the small stuff.

Two.

This morning Josh and I were in the bathroom talking and I randomly asked him when he thought we should switch our youngest babe, Titus, into a day bed and out of his crib. We talked about it for a minute when all the sudden Titus walked in to the bathroom......neither one of us had gotten him out of bed yet. Apparently tonight we are switching his crib to a day bed.

My baby is going to be two on Monday. I cannot believe it. Time has flown by so fast and all of the sudden this big, vivacious, precocious, fun loving, adventure seeking, scraped up and bruised little boy is not my baby any more. He is fighting to grow up and be like his big brothers just as fast as his little legs can carry him and I don't like it one bit. I must admit, I love the little person he is turning into and I can't wait to see his expressive personality develop more and more. I'm praying for the Lord to grab hold of his big heart as it grows and that he will let me rock him to sleep for a few more years even though he is already out growing my lap.

I love you Titus bug. I'm so thankful that Jesus chose me to be your mama.
