Oh how I love thee...Let me count the ways...

If only they knew....

I look at these pictures and I am once again overwhelmed. My cup runneth over as they say.

I took the past few days off to spend some special one on one time with my babies and it was fabulous. It is scary how quickly they change and grow and it is more scarier how you can miss all of it in a blink of an eye if you don't pay attention.

Jocelyn's imagination is growing as fast as the speed of light and Nickolas is throwing his shy timid ways out the window. However their true characters seem to be the same as the day they were born. Even in the womb they had certain individual characteristics that have stayed faithful and true to this very day. They are the reasons that I love them so much.

When Nickolas was in my belly he would only respond to my voice. When I spoke to him he would do a million flips and cartwheels to please me only. He is loyal and faithful to no end. Once he has a friend he always has that friend. He even remembers his friends at the age of 2 at his first daycare. "Mommy remember that boy who played with me earlier when I was a baby and we always shared blocks. I miss him." Nickolas is full of goodness and sweetness. He is not one who waits for someone to turn an eye so he can be mischievous. However his competitiveness is about to rival his dad's. He doesn't like to lose EVER. He gets teary eyed when he hurts someones feelings and blurts out "Sorry" before you have chance to scold him. When his little hands grab my face and he pulls me to his direction to say, "Mommy I love you so much forever"; I immediately thank God for letting someone love me so much.

Little Miss Jocie is a completely different but amazing story. She refused to move in my belly. I didn't feel her until 22 weeks and even then I think she was telling me to chill out on all the food I was absorbing. She never cuddled and she never cooed. Jocie was direct and forceful when it came and still comes to wanting something. At the age of 3 she is a force to be reckoned with. The word patience is not in her vocabulary. Words that are; brave, loyal, strong, protective, and imaginative. Already at the age of 3 all she wants to be in this world is a mommy. She has 20 baby dolls (all which are called Baby) and she loves and protects each and everyone of them. She has an imaginary baby sister who Mommy never lets leave the house because she won't ever take a nap. Jocelyn loves to dance and be the center of attention. Every night I kiss her on the nose and she says, "Mommy pinky swear I am your best friend." Always...

I am a blessed mommy with two happy healthy babies. My goal is to teach them about God and the greatness He provides. In the years to come many things will change; Nickolas won't be so innocent and Jocie won't be so difficult. Okay strike that last one. However they will still be mine forever and always....pinky swear.

God bless to all of my faithful friends and followers.

"Teach me your way, O LORD,

and I will walk in your truth;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;

I will glorify your name forever.

For great is your love toward me;

you have delivered me from the depths of the grave."

Psalm 86:11-13
