{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! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!

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!

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.
