Wouldn't Change a Thing

So this morning I told Lee that I was jealous of his quiet ride to and from work every day and then this afternoon something happened and I realized that....

I would not change a thing. Not a thing. Ok, well maybe the crying and whining, but that doesn't count, right?

What made me realize this?

Listening to BOTH of my sweet boys praying their very own prayers in the back seats of the car. (A) prayed for David this morning all by himself "Dear God, uh uh David knee better uh uh not tired" and then this afternoon he prayed an even longer prayer. He said something about "love God...help love other people... Jesus bigger" which is our meal time prayer mixed in with his own thoughts to God about the birds, his brother, and other things.

I LOVE IT.

My parents came to visit for a short time this week and the boys were SO excited.  (A) woke up talking about it that morning and David told everyone in the school that his grandma and grandpa were coming. Here are some pictures of their time together. Wish I could post ones including (A), but I only had face shots:) .

David has been exceptionally moody lately, but still has some sweet moments mixed in (thank goodness!).  He announced to me the other morning, "Mom, I think we need to have a baby here at our house." Alright....I'll get on that and give the social worker a call:). Then tonight we went out to dinner and there was a young man eating by himself. David was very concerned: "Mommy, look at that man over there in the blue shirt. He's eating all by himself mommy. He doesn't have any children. He might be lonely because he is all by himself mommy, what should we do?"


Oh...my wild and crazy yet sensitive and compassionate little monsters:). When I feel as though I need to be alone and have silence...I need to remember times like these and realize that despite how I feel in the moment....
