I took a couple days to visit my sister and her babes and had the most wonderful time. They are getting so big, and learning so much! I love watching them see things that seem new in their world and try to figure them out. I must say, my favorite part was being recognized and called upon over and over all day long! And of course the sweet snuggles.
Coming home to my own family sure is nice too, especially with a " snow day" at school, which just translates to us as more family time and cancelled programs. At the moment I can't help but beam at the sounds coming from different rooms. My kiddos are all practicing their speeches with nice and loud voices, doors closed.
It's such a different stage of parenting than my sister is at, with a different set of struggles and joys. In both it's a wonderful blessing seeing the hearts of these precious kids come to life with the new realizations of things around them. I'm so proud of my kids, their love for God and their love for each other.
