Skip a Beat

These boys know just how to pull at my heart-strings. They can throw a temper tantrum, laugh when they see me flustered, grab my cheeks and give me a kiss. It grounds me for a moment. They’ll spill cereal on the ground, and just when steams ready to come out of my ears they will play “vacuum” and munch it up (gross I know). I get caught in a million moments a day where I just fall simply smitten for these kids. Whether it’s quiet time on the couch and I hold their little hands. When they are done with their baths and I get a whiff of that sweet baby hair smell. When I tuck them into bed, and Brody tells us just how much he loves us “this much!” …. and Owen follows with a “wuv you.” Dan and I, everyday, are always amazed at how these kids make our hearts skip a beat at the times we least expect it. Brody and Owen have this spunk in them that is contagious. They are sweet, goofy, wild, and so lovable. I hope with Valentines Day tomorrow, you show a little lovin’ to someone. Whether it be your spouse, mom or dad, grandparent, neighbor, or friend. Brody said he wants to make chocolate cakes for everyone he loves… the list is about 10+ people long, so we’ll do our best to tackle each over the next few days!
