This Thanksgiving I am reminded how blessed we are to have our family. Each of our boys are such an amazing blessing, and I am just so honored that God would let me "borrow" them for a while.
They bring so much joy into our lives! Sometimes they also bring challenges, LOL. But one thing is for certain- I am so thankful that I get to be their Mommy!
I am also just so thankful that they have each other! There is something so preciously sweet about hearing Joe say "Jake!", or watching how Joshua gets so giddy when tackling with his brothers, or how Jamie is so much happier when all of them are right there together, or seeing Jacob show one of his younger brothers how to do something (and he seems to get so much joy from teaching them!) It must be so neat to have a best friend that is also so much more than that- a brother!
I am told every time that I go anywhere that I "have my hands full". Yes, yes I do. And I wouldn't want it any other way!
Jacob told me yesterday that I am the "best Mommy in the world". I don't think there are any words I'd rather hear! If I am a good Mommy, it is because I have the best boys in the world!
Love,

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
How cute! OMG, they are adorable in their sweaters. You have them dressed like little men! cute, cute, cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThe look on Joseph's face in that second one is priceless. Great pics Melly!
