Thomas

So I’ve been getting an itch to blog. Possibly because it’s been 4 months and I have yet to write my daughter a 1 year letter.  Possibly because Thomas will be 5 in exactly 2 weeks and I think I’m going to have an issue there. Or maybe because I just miss bragging about my kids in a forum that allows me to ramble.  Maybe because Hailey is the most charming person that God has ever put on this planet and I want to remember it.  I want to remember it all.  Or possibly because Thomas is the funniest, kindest, most compassionate child I have ever had the honor to know and I also want to remember that.  When they are teenagers and making me crazy I want to come back to this blog and remember.  Remember that Hailey waves and blows kisses to every single person she comes into contact with.  Remember that she makes people feel loved in a way that most children her age do not.  Remember that she thinks her family are the most wonderful beings ever. Second to dogs. To remember that Thomas uses scientific words and has my math brain. To remember that he calls patters “padu-ens.” Remember that he’ll sometimes tell his sister he needs one of her real hugs. Remember that he loves Jenna and Hailey with every fiber of his being. Remember that he cherishes his friends and has true friends and not just a bunch of acquaintances. Remember that he is a good judge of character and so far has done a good job of choosing friends.  I want to remember it all.

It’s easy to think now that I will.  I have a good memory.  I will remember, right?  Well, just in case I don’t, I need to write it down.  Because more than anything. I want to remember these two children whose lives God has given to me.  I want to remember it all!
