Here is Evelyn enjoying some chocolate pudding after she finished her dinner tonight. As you can see, she loved it!
Here is Noah -- he is turning into quite the cuddler! His body just molds into you -- it is the best feeling :)
I took some time tonight to reflect on things while putting Noah to bed. I usually feed him, read/sing to him (poor guy has to listen to me sing off-key!), and then rock him a little bit before I lay him down for the night. Tonight while I was rocking him, I took some time to say my prayers and give thanks for all the blessings in my life. I truly am blessed. I know this is true. Sometimes when life gets crazy and hectic, it is easy to take things for granted.
My prayers tonight revolved around the kids. I am so blessed to have two healthy, happy little angels. Evelyn is becoming more & more fun every day. She has always been such a good little girl -- and she is learning so much and changing so fast these days... I sometimes find myself excited for her to get up in the mornings just so that we can hang out together longer!! And Noah is seriously the smiliest baby ever! He is so social -- he loves attention -- whenever he can tell that people are looking at him, he will get the biggest grin on his face.
Even though I am anxious for Noah to crawl, walk, etc... I am really cherishing these baby-days. Travis and I hope to have more children someday, but you never know what the Lord has planned. These days I am just trying to take in everything that I can, while I can. When the days get crazy and I feel overwhelmed -- I need to remind myself to just slow down, really think about what is important, put my trust in God, and everything else will just fall into place :)

Awww what a nice post!
Did you watch Oprah yesterday by chance? It was about slowing down and being thankful for the moment you're living in - your post reminded me of the show :) I love blogging and keeping in touch with my Tech friends! I feel like a lot of us are closer now than when we were in school :)
Simply beautiful! A few weeks ago I was swept up in Carol Decker's story... Her struggles have definitely reminded me to snuggle Sawyer a little longer and appreciate how blessed we are!

Amen sista'! Very nice post!
I am tearing up now. Great post. I too agree that it is so easy to take for granted. Every night I say my prayers and make sure to focus on the children. I know God has watched out for them and taken great care....I love to take that moment each and every day to reflect and say Thanks!! Love you lots.
Sometimes we get so caught up in life, I really appreciated your post. When I picked up the girls from day care last week I took a little while to sit down and tickle them. There is nothing I love more than hearing that true belly laugh from the two of them. It was even more funny when Emerson tried to tickle me. So what if dinner didn't get made or the dishes didn't make it in the dishwasher...those are the moments I live for and am thankful for.
Thank you for that beautiful post! It's so true how life makes you forget how blessed we are! You do have a beautiful family. We look forward to getting to know you all better!
