A Chubby Face, Finally!











I finally have a chubby baby. Since not being on the charts since his 2 week appointment I finally have a baby that, I think, is on the charts. I don't go in for a few more weeks but his cheeks say it all. He is so cute. All Ben ever does is smile, except when I get the camera out, of course! Jack actually calls him Smiles. That is his special name for him. Jack can get him laughing like no one else and the two of them have a very special relationship. He gives the best kisses and he gives them to me all the time. I am the luckiest mom in the world to have these cute little boys. I am grateful every day to my Heavenly Father for the blessing of being a mom. I am so blessed to stay home with them. There are days when it's hard, and a day away at work sounds great, but then you realize the payoffs. The long days (and nights) turn into tight hugs and big kisses. When they call your name when they are hurt or scared. When they tell you that they want to marry you when they grow up. It all pays off. Nothing makes me more happy then knowing that I get my family forever. That nothing, nothing can ever take them away from me. What a blessing!!

Cute Story


Me: "You didn't bring anything home from school today?" As I pick up his back pack and look inside it.

Jack: "Nope, the only thing I brought home was a hug!" As he runs over and gives me a huge hug!

Oh how I love that boy!
