There are a million reasons why... I have really been enjoying the fact that we have 3 little ones lately! It's actually tough on me to see our babies growing like crazy! For so long I felt the need to justify to people that we didn't "plan" to have 3 children in three years the first four years of marriage, because I didn't want people to think that we were that crazy, but now I realize that I would not want it any other way.
Just tonight Lydi and TW were playing and I thought to myself what a great thing for them to grow up together. It's like built in best friends... I know she's a girl and he's a boy, but I still think they will be the best of friends. Now, here's where Sam comes into the equation. Our dear sweet Samuel!!!
He is growing so quickly, and I get emotional almost every time I look at him; literally. I think it's because I know that he was our least planned of the three and to think that there was a moment when I found out I was pregnant when I thought he would not be the best thing for our family. How wrong I was!!! He has been such a joy and such a gift not only for Ben and me but for our other kiddos. They love, love, love this little guy and rightfully so; he's too cute not to:)
I say all of this to say that I am very grateful that the Lord knows what we need better than we do, and I am so happy that he chose to bless us with our three lively little lovies!
