Last night was one of those full circle moments where I felt like I got to sort of see my life from a more outside, bird's eye view. It was just a normal night, but Blaine wanted to surprise BJ with his newly achieved pumping skill on the swing. It was a cooler night and I had Landry wrapped in a blanket watching from the deck. After a bit a game of chase broke out with both boys and BJ down below. Both boys were trying to catch BJ and squealing with glee as he kept dodging out of the way. My heat was just filled with such joy watching all 3 of my boys and holding my sweet baby girl. In that moment I just couldn't picture wanting much else. I had a flashback moment to walking around the backyard while we looked at the house before we bought it. Despite the fact that the house was completely outdated and fairly decrepit, I knew it was ours. It just felt like this was where we belonged. I remembered specifically walking in the backyard and feeling like that's where our future children should be playing and all of us out there together someday. And now, fast forward 4 years later, and here we are. Amazing. I don't take God's blessings for granted these days. Every single day I am so grateful for each of my children and my amazing husband. I really can't imagine feeling much more blessed. Maybe we'll have more kids and who knows exactly what our lives will look like in 4 more years, but for the moments I am just blessed and really, really grateful.
