Spring is Here!

Spring is finally here and we are happy! As I sit here the breeze is blowing in through the windows and for this one instant all I hear are my typing fingers and my special "big" boy reading in his room. The little one is asleep and I have a few moments to sit. And while I thought of all I "should" be doing (laundry, cleaning, checking papers, etc) I decided to sit and soak it all in. While sitting for a few I came up with one word to sum it all up...thankful! How thankful I am to have what I have! Our life has changed in the last 12 weeks with the addition of Maxwell and while at times I was overwhelmed to tears I think we finally have found our new normal and I wouldn't change any bit of it! Its days like now that I hear Alex in his room reading that I realize how fast it all goes. It seems like just yesterday it was just Alex and I at home together while everyone was away at work. Now he is reading and growing into beyond what I ever dreamed he would be! I always knew he was special but he amazes me beyond anything. He is an amazing big brother to our new Max! Alex walks into a room and to see Max's eyes light up at his brother is an unreal feeling! Max is changing and growing so much right before our eyes. At 6 weeks I thought he was fussy and maybe even colicky but he is so sweet! He is my snuggler and loves to be held, especially by his mommy :). In between his talking and coos we do get a fussy patch but that open mouth full body smile makes all the fussiness worth it! I am so lucky and thankful to God for my amazing boys, I would't have it any other way. I can't wait for all our adventures this summer as we spend every waking moment with eachother but right now I will settle for a week off to drink all their love, smiles, laughter in! Happy Easter!
