Big Smile

This is what I get to spend my time looking at these days. Am I blessed, or what?
Not to mention there are two other adorable kids running around this house, though not currently. They are running around their grandparent's house today. I could sit and soak up this smile forever...maybe that is what Heaven is like. It's like the best smile from your precious baby multiplied by one million. I like to do this sometimes. I think of the prettiest or most amazing thing I've ever seen and then think that if I magnified it thousands of times over it would give some idea of what Heaven is like. I think we can glimpse Heaven on Earth, because Heaven is the things we experience here completely restored to their intended brilliance. All the muck and evil is dusted off and what we thought was kinda beautiful before becomes dazzling, pure, whole, overwhelmingly good. We realize then what a poor copy we were looking at before and how the real deal can't even be explained with words. That's one idea anyway.

Cute, cute, cute! He's so sweet and it's wonderful that you got to spend some alone time with Lucas today. And that Ava and Nate got to spend time with their grandparents!

Too cute. Kids are such a blessing. I wish it didn't go so fast. I enroll Todd for kindergarten tomorrow. It seems like yesterday he looked like Lucas.

Does that smile just melt your heart or what? God has blessed you with three beautiful children.
I know that He smiles on you as He knows that His children are being raised to know Him and have His heart. You and Cody are doing a great job!
