I was away for 2 days at women's retreat this weekend. Unfortunately, I was unable to get in touch with the boys all weekend and check in, which can be quite disheartening. However, I was welcomed with this sweet little nor from Carson.

Another first
Today is the first day Cayden sat where he says goodbye to the boys for school and want happy when they left. He sat there literally telling for them for 5 minutes after they left.
He just kept starting at the front door thinking they were going to come back in anytime.....it was rather cute!

A special day!!
Today is a very special day.
1. 6 years ago today we took this great photo if the boys, they were 10 days old and we cut the hospital bands finally off of them. Can you tell who us who?
2. 6 months ago, we met Cayden for the first time and welcomed him into our family!!

A blessing and a loss
As I was rocking and feeding Cayden today before his nap today, I was thinking of how wonderful it will be that all 3 of the boy's grandparents will be at lunch on Sunday to join us in our family celebration of Carson and Cooper turning 6.
It will be nice getting a picture of all 3 boys with the 3 special grandparents they have. However, one very special person is and will always bring missing in these celebrations.
7 years ago, we were preparing for our last family trip (not knowing it was our last) and a big surgery for my dad this time of year. It is hard thinking of all the joys and lessons the boys would have experienced with him, all the memories they would have. I imagine him embracing them, them sitting on his lap having conversations with each other, him correcting them and trying to steer them down a better path than he chose when he was young. Them witnessing his example of your word being your bond. Him getting a second chance to love on little ones and help raise them up to be strong men of God.
For now, the boys will get a chance to be loved on by their other 3 grandparents and make memories with them. Thank God that I can confidently assure the boys that one day the WILL meet Papa Larry and hug him and play with him and do all the special things that Papas and grandsons do.

Good cuddles
Cayden and I got to go to Mom's Day In together this morning. Everyone was so glad to see how much he had improved since being sick last week. I know I should probably put him in the nursery now, but I still enjoy cuddling with him during this time. He was especially cuddly today and spent most of the time either resting on my shoulder, blowing raspberries or talking to Chase who was crawling beneath us. I really do love this phase and am trying to make sure to enjoy as many minutes if it as I can!!!
