Joys

Ellie is now 3. She's such a beautiful little girl, full of so much life! We celebrated her birthday...a couple of times! She got a bit confused there but enjoyed it! Kept asking to open more presents. She had such joy with those gifts. On her birthday she was running around hugging everyone....big hugs that will knock you to the ground. Her favorite to hug was her big brother. He, well....he took it! So cute to watch that.

Yesterday, Devon decided he wanted to swim without his floaties. He can touch the bottom of the pool so he feels safe. He did it! He swam by himself. He felt so proud of himself. Mom and Dad are pretty proud too!

This morning, Ellie woke up early....still tired obviously. She curled up in bed with daddy....and there she sleeps now, wrap safely in her daddy's arms. It's such a sweet site. Daddy loves his kids so much.

My life is so full of joys...each and every exhausting day! I love my husband and my children so much. The Lord has blessed me with them. We have our challenges...but we are given the ones that will help us grow! I can see from our challenges, that any others that we were given wouldn't help us to grow. We need the one that we have, because the others would just be too easy for us to fix. I do not always enjoy our 'growing' experiences....but I'm looking forward to where they are going to take us.
