after successfully enjoying a walk with both kids and morgan (who by the way, is awesome on a leash!), elise had lunch and then both kids slowly started unraveling with tiredness. so i rocked both of them at the same time. after a few songs, isaac was long gone in one arm and elise looked up at me with those gorgeous, big, brown eyes...she snuggled into my other arm and before i knew it she was asleep too. aside from thinking, "how will i get the two of them into their cribs?..." i couldn't stop staring at them...from one adorable face to the other. each time i was ready to get up, i would sit longer just soaking in the moment. "thank you Jesus," i kept repeating under my breath. thank You for these children, thank You for a husband who works so hard, thank you that i am home each day for moments like these...there is nothing like it.

So sweet, Shana! I couldn't agree more. I love moments like those!
those moments MUST be written down and savored!! they are way too easy to forget in the midst of potty training, laundry, and dishes!
I teared up when I read that!! What a precious moment!!
