Hi! I just got through kissing your soft little cheeks, and now I am here writing you a letter. But I keep wanting to walk back over to you (although you are sleeping) and hold you :) You are so darn cute!
Although I am one of those people, (please don't judge me) who likes to clean, and keep up with the house work, I would much rather spend time with my babies! It's so nice when you guys are these ages because you also want to spend time with mommy! I don't want to miss out on any of it ;) So, when the choice comes to either load the dishwasher or hold you, I would rather hold you. When I'm enjoying wrestling with your brother on the floor, the toys can wait to be put away. Although I enjoy cleaning, laundry, and baking, I have been able to see how much more important it is to enjoy my babies! I always say to myself, that God, your daddy, you and your brother take priority in my life. Your daddy and I always make sure to spend a good amount of time together, and we also enjoy spending time all together as a family. We pray together in the evening, and that's one of my favorite times.
Your daddy was just talking with me the other day about how he knows it's his responsibility to lead this family and sometimes that's a lot of weight! He said it's a good weight, but heavy at times nonetheless. He thinks about things I never thought of as being on his mind a lot. I have to say, it's nice to know he is not only thinking on these things, but acting them out in order to help his family grow spiritually and emotionally. I want you to have an idea of this Emma, because I know your daddy will always be loving you, protecting you, and desiring good things for you. He loves his family, and so do I. We want good things for our babies. We pray for you kids every day, multiple times a day. Even when it seems to you that we are being not understanding or unfair, just have the peace inside that we are always making decisions through prayer and the wisdom we pray for as well. We may not always be right, or make all the right decisions, but take comfort in the FACT that we love you, we care about your well being, and we will always do our best to understand you, and nurture the things in you that God wants to grow. :)
Today has been a funny sort of day! I usually clean when you guys take naps, since I enjoy it so much, and today it feels like it took me no time at all to do all sorts of house work during your naps! I mean, I got so much done in such a short amount of time! Hahaha, it's crazy! It feels like the day is in slow motion, but I'm moving a mile a minute! Feels kind of nice to do what I like doing, and also have a clean kitchen floor. It's usually filled with blueberries, cheese, and juice! Sticky floors are one of my pet peeves, but I have managed to get over it for now since it's a daily occurrence, raining food that it... BUT, I still attack it when I can ;)
I was sitting between you and Eli yesterday in the car while your daddy was running into the store. I looked at both of you, and just said out loud, "I am such a blessed mommy! I love you guys so much! Look how freakin cute you are!!!" Hahahahaha... It just came out! I was all of a sudden overwhelmed with pride and joy in my sweet babies, and felt truly blessed to know you both! Then Eli pinched me, and you projectile threw up on me, and the moment was over! Hahahahaahaa, just kidding, the moments continues! :) Your brother has started a new thing... Pinching... Not very nice huh? We have no idea where in the world he learned it or how he picked it up??? It's puzzling... Then again, we have no clue how he learns lots of thing, for example, his sour faces. No clue. Now when he pinches we have to tell him how it hurts us, and not to do that. The only thing is, he thinks it's really funny, and it's hard not to laugh. We don't laugh in front of him, but it is so hard! I for one, have never pinched your brother, and neither has your daddy! hahahahahaha! So, why the heck do we have a pincher on our hands? Good question... We will never know...
You little missy have a very cute sad face... Sometimes you wake up crying because you want to be held or fed, and you make your little frown, and your lips pop out and you look so stinkin' cute! You and your brother both have the best sad faces in the world! You guys could melt an ice sculpture with those frowns! Why an ice sculpture you may ask, and I would answer, It was the first cold thing that came to mind... hahaha!
Ok, well I better go. I have to go rest for a bit before you two wake up and need me to play! :) Love you Emma Lee Holland!
