I thought today, during my boys nap time would be a good time to reflect on my precious cherubs that God has temporarily given to us! I say "temporarily", b/c truthfully, they are HIS & He has given us the honor & privilege to raise them up here on earth.
My first born, Garrett James Lawrence, will be turning 4 May 9th.....we can't believe how quickly he has grown & oh what a joy it has been to see him evolve into each stage. He was our early, early marriage baby! Our 5th wedding anniversary is the day before his birthday. I went into labor the day after our 1 year anniversary! Wow! What an amazing, exciting, first year of marriage that was! Phew! Garrett is unique in many ways. We love his heart. He thinks of others. He loves to pretend he's flying. He loves cars. He loves wrestling with his dad. He loves huggin & kissin on his lil' brother. He LOVES to talk. And I mean T-A-L-K. But what lil' munchkin doesn't. He is full of life and challenges me in many ways. (in ways you wouldn't imagine!!) It's very humbling to have a 4 year old that corrects you when you say something you shouldn't say. wow! The biggest thing we adore & cherish about Garrett is his love for Jesus. I couldn't be more thankful for a young heart like his, that is already sold out for Jesus. What a blessing!
Now, my sweet, precious 2nd born, Gideon James Lawrence. Ahhhh - he's still my little angel. Doesn't talk much, so it's different challenges with him, but I really wouldn't call them "challenges", just amazing, cute, adorable stages of a toddler. He is 14 mo. and exploring like crazy! Having an older brother, he's definitely doing things Garrett never did. It's too cute to see the beauty of how God creates the minds of this precious lil' ones. Gideon is curious about everything & takes it all in. He's quiet at times, watching Garrett & doing alot of thinking. It's amazing to see both of my sons love on each other AND take after their dad, in many ways.
What a joy our children are to us! Every day with them, is a gift from God. I don't know I would know what to do without them. They make me confident & sure of myself. They remind me that I'm a good mommie & that I don't have to be perfect. They are also a huge reminder of the union that JC and I have. We created these precious boys together & look forward to creating more babies! :-)
I am thankful. I am looking forward to more life with my family. Seeing God do the things He does with us, together, is quite amazing. I love our boys!
