A Million Reasons

TW absolutely loves to have his picture made. Anytime he sees a camera this is the face he makes as he says "CHEESE!"
This is not the best picture, but it was taken right before Lydi went to her first ballet, tap, and tumbling class. She is loving it!!!
Here is our big six month old boy! He is sitting up, laughing all the time, and bringing so much joy to us all!

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!
