love

I've been wanting to sit and share a bunch of thoughts, but a certain someone doesn't give me any large chunks of time to work with, so I'll have to just quickly jot down one thing.  :)

Logically I've always known "it won't last forever", but it's really sinking in now.  I don't know if it's Caleb and Logan getting older and going to school, or having my last baby that's bringing it on.  Anyways, I've really been enjoying each of the kids much more lately.  (We still have our "moments"!!!)  This morning as Logan was walking in to school he turned and blew me a kiss - how much longer do I have before he's too grown up for that??  And, last night during our church business meeting he wrote me a note that said, "I love mom. Do you love Logan?"  The smile on his face and look in his eye when I wrote back, "Yes!" was absolutely priceless.  And, while Levi was eating his lunch today (and I was feeding Jackson), he ran over and said "Mom!  Feel my muscles!"  This often happens during mealtimes, but of course it struck me that someday he's not going to do that anymore. I can keep thinking of examples...Caleb running up from the basement to report how their game of Pig is going, Jackson smiling at me...  These are the little things that make up life with little boys, and I just want to soak it all up.
