some days

some days, when i think it is all getting to be too much; when i can't handle one more screaming fit; when i am sick and tired of changing diapers and cleaning messes; when our two dogs have tracked dirt into the house and i have to sweep the floor for the millionth time this week; when gabe comes to me with my broken sunglasses in his hand and says "uh oh, mama"; when i have to pick toys up off the floor again, but i am so big that i can't reach them; when my back and my neck and my legs and everything hurt; when i begin to wonder if i am really ready to be a mother of two boys; and when i have to go the grocery store even though i am nauseated and light headed and only the cart is holding me up, there is always that one moment that comes along and reminds me why i do it all.

yesterday it was the moment in which gabe declared (for the first time ever) to all of publix in no uncertain words "i wud jew" (i love you) and made my heart melt all over again. i love you too, baby.

I just put a screaming kid down for a nap and was feeling the same way. Now I have tears in my eyes about how sweet that moment was for you. Two is totally wonderful so hang in there!!

Melt my heart!!! How sweet.
I am almost brought to tears every time Camp kisses me and I don't know what I'll do when he says that!

Very sweet. Michael has taught Kai to say "Luv ya". It is amazing the things they can learn and repeat at such a young age.
