Lately I've been really trying to soak up my time with my boys.
In just a few months we will have another little arrive which I know
will come with an insane amount of love, joy and gratefulness...
intermixed with transition, exhaustion and some serious cups of coffee. So in the
meantime Minky and mama have been squeezing in lots of adventures and snuggles..
and DaDa and Mama have locked in a date night and started a sweet marriage class
based off of this favorite book.
A friend prepared me for a transition that she swears is magical where
your baby suddenly enters toddlerhood causing you to fall EXTRA gaga for this spunky
little human who is so full of joy, wonder and pure entertainment....
It has arrived, y'all.
Jay and I are constantly exchanging eyebrow raises and great laughs over our little Mink.
No words needed.
Our eyes say it all...
Did he really just say that?!
Did he really just do that???
It's almost too much to bear... I find myself
picking up the phone multiple times a day to update my mom
on Greyson's latest moment.
Of course Grey throws a few tantrums here and there
just to keep it real and mix it up for us;)
Throughout this pregnancy and as Greyson continues to grow and develop before our very eyes,
the weight of my role as a mother has been alive and present.
I find it so encouraging yet extremely daunting at the same time.
My answer to the intimidation is one day at a time...
keeping my eyes fixed on my long term mama perspective!
I fail constantly...and will continue to fail.
But God's grace and guidance is so good. And I have found that through it
all there is GREAT power in praying for my children in agreement with God's word.
On a typical day I am able to serve, cook, organize, clean, build, chase, read, kiss away tears,
snuggle,and wrestle. I will have tested my patience, encouraged, rebuked, and praised all
before naptime. I will find it to be a straight miracle if I've taken the time to tend to
my hair and apply some mascara before noon. And through it all I continue to believe there
isn't anything outside of being a mother that could compare to this calling on my life.
To train, guide and nurture my children in the way that God has designed and called me to.
I feel so blessed to spend my days loving on this little Mink.
And so eternally grateful that the Lord has entrusted me with His sweetest blessings!
Off to bed with the entire gang!

That one of him in his crib surrounded by his snuggles? I melt! That face! He is adorable!
