pause.

there are moments during our days when i literally close my eyes.  and try to soak it all in.

the sights.  the smells.  the sounds.  all of it.  because i know that these are going to be, by far, my most favorite years with the boys.

pratt could literally bonk max on the head and max would laugh.  and smile.  and wish he were just.like.pratt.  not that pratt would do this.  it's crazy how sweet he is to him.  i keep holding my breath.  waiting on this to change.  i'm sure that it will.  i hear that all the time.  once max starts to take his toys.  once max starts to need me more.  etc, etc.

i guess as much as i can be, i'm ready for that.

i just love this age for both of them.  i said to clint last night, i would have ten more children if someone would agree to raise them for the first 6 months.  i'm just no good.  it's the sleep thing.  i can't do it.

we played in the sunshine after school today.  max giggles the entire time he's in the swing.  and pratt just wants to "fwy so high that (he) can see the twees"!

i'm so blessed to have them.  i now realize that mom really was being serious when she told me that i was perfect.  that everything about me was perfect.  i never believed it.  but now i do.  because those boys are perfect in my eyes.  so, so perfect.  exactly how God wanted them to be.

have a blessed monday.
