My Heart.

The way she perfectly fits there, be still my heart…

School starts in a week and I already feel homesick for them.

As I tucked them into bed tonight I told them that….how I felt homesick thinking about them being away during the days.

Last week Chris brought a microphone out in the living room for the kiddos to do a “performance”…they took turns standing in front of the fireplace and signing….it was beyond precious.

I had this moment watching Ainsleigh singing…. will I be watching this video someday at her rehearsal dinner….reflecting on this sweet moment with her tiny voice and little self?

I couldn’t help but think….. my kiddos are the greatest gift I have ever been given in life. How when the time comes to hand them off to their spouses, I will be able to look and them and say…I am handing over my greatest, most treasured gift in life.

Please love, and cherish him/her the way that I have. Please look out for them and fight for them and fiercely love them…. I can’t imagine giving over a greater gift in the world.

I saw a quote on instagram this week….

“You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow they’ll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, it’ll be over before you know it.”
