{Logan & Jack}Valentine's day must have worked its way into my heart, as I am quite sure I have never loved my boys as much as I loved them today.
I missed them {ached for them, really} all day at work today. I was near tears many times as I imagined what they may be doing at that very moment with Grandma.
When I got home we gave them their binkies & their bubbas, which made them extra snuggly for me. That's my favorite. They suck their binks; suck, suck, suck & rub their bubs' tags; rub, rub, rub & snuggle Mommy. It melts me.
We played, laughed, chased, read, hugged & kissed all afternoon. Daddy was even home to enjoy it with us. Then we did baths, I cut twenty finger & twenty toe nails, lotioned the boys up and read Kiss Kiss by Margaret Wild. I must have kissed them fifty-seven times each before I turned out the light.
And even now, as they sleep in the other room, I am missing them. Wishing I could still hear their laughter & see their smiling faces running around the living room.

Every night I pray that Josh will find a teaching job next fall so I can stay home with our boys. So that I don't have to miss them this much. So that I can see every smile, hear every giggle, dry every tear & kiss every owie.
Pray with me, will you?

My fingers & toes are crossed for you guys. I have a good feeling that my smart brother Joshua will find a job because he's AWESOME! :)
I can't imagine what it must be like to be away from your babies all day :( I hope Josh does find a job quickly so you can be home with them!
I AM!!!! Jack looks so cute, crossing his ankles like that.
Honey, I hope tomorrow is a much better day for you. Hugs! Mom
You and Josh are such great parents and great people! I know God has LOTS of good things coming your way! Remember your favorite quote... Faith is not knowing he can it's believing he will!
I love you and your family!!
Just follow your heart! And keep smiling!!
Oh my goodness, how cute are they in their matching jammies. God will make a way where there seems to be no way, so hang in there, Josh WILL get a great teaching job and you WILL be able to stay home.
I will send out those positive vibes! I want you and your family to stay close by. Then you can join the coupon cult!
