Tiny Glimpse of Heaven


After having the flu run through our entire family, including myself I am pretty drained. I noticed yesterday that along with the aches and pains of this terrible virus Aaron is also getting his incisor teeth. So, you can imagine that he is still crying. I have tried everything but the little guy is so persistent. Finally I decided to turn on a CD (mostly for my sanity), I picked the little guy up and he tucked right into me. As I was spinning him around the floor watching his tiny eyes get droopy I hoped that when my life was over and I traveled through its precious moments I would be able to stand and watch this quiet moment. Then I remembered the story of a night when I was a tiny crying baby, probably much like Aaron, and my daddy danced me to sleep. I laughed a little and thought isn't it funny how things really don't change from one generation to the next. One day little Aaron will be dancing his tiny baby to sleep too. I am so grateful for such wonderful parents who taught me to be a mother. As a went to lay my tiny guy down I noticed that he had been holding a Reese's candy which was now entirely melted all over his hand and the sleeve my new shirt. I guess we will start all over.

Let it Snow!








We finally got some snow! I am so excited. I got up this morning when Chris was leaving to work and there was a bunch a people form the neighborhood all up helping shovel driveways and pushing cars down the road. There is so much snow that it goes up to Brandon's waist. He had a blast. He got out his bulldozer and scooped the snow he buried himself, went snow surfing on the sled and just had a blast. His snow pants don't fit him this year so I sent him out in jeans. They were soaking wet when I made him come inside but he didn't care. Aaron on the other hand hates the snow. I put the boys in the sled to take them for a ride and Aaron screamed all the way down the block. He would rather stay under the carport where the snow does not touch him. What a weirdy! I have never seen so much snow and it is still falling. I was so excited I couldn't even go back to sleep this morning. Good thing I have Brandon to enjoy it with. I guess Aaron is just going to have to hibernate inside.
