I can hardly believe it.
It's here...they're seven.
I had the most amazing time pouring through the pictures of the last seven years with these two miracles.
I cried buckets though, not because I am sad (ok, well yes because they are growing too quickly)
...but mostly because my heart is so full of love for them.
I kept saying out loud to the computer screen..."do you even know how much you are loved?
as if they could answer but they were fast asleep...then I cried again from so much joy.
So much gratefulness to God for the gift of children.
What an honor and privilege to be their parents.
It's sad to say I forget this sometimes...in the mad rush,
the busy schedules and sometimes the sassy attitudes...
I forget that it is indeed a privilege and God chose us to parent these four children.
Sometimes I can't comprehend why He chose us to do this big job...
but I am sure it has something to do with the fact that we can't do it on our own.
We need Him...our Heavenly Father for guidance, wisdom, support and strength.
If you know our story, you know they truly were miracle babies...wanted and prayed for specifically.
I am reminded too, how thankful I am to my husband for investing in this great camera.
We have captured thousands and thousands of memories
preserved to enjoy and reminisce all we have done together.
Thank you, sweet man!
So I created a birthday slideshow of some highlights from these seven incredible years.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it and be reminded like I am...
to hug your children a bit tighter today,
to let them know they are special and unique,
created for a purpose...
and also maybe you'll want one of these.
Happy 7th Birthday to two of our four "multiple blessings!"
xoxo,
Mom
