what i love

i love Gabi's grown up sayings like, "oh mom, you're going to be just fine." Or, "don't worry, I'll come check on you in a minute." She's so perceptive and a very understanding and caring person. I love that she loves her sisters and takes the time to play with brynlee, even if she doesn't really want to. i love madi's beautiful blond hair. I love her stubbornness and her desire to be an individual and not always follow what others are doing. I love her caring and compassionate disposition, and her desire to make brynlee happy. I love hearing from either of my girls, "mom, i just make (gabi, madi, brynlee) so happy! that make you happy too?" I love their smiles and their contagious laughter. I love that they always want me to be the "horsey" and give them a ride around the house, or piggy back rides nightly to go brush their teeth. I love that they love church. I love that they truly know what is good and desire to be it. I love that i have a husband who will get up with the kids when he knows I've had a rough night or day or both. i love my little bryners and all of her snuggles, her smiles, her laughter. i love the bond that brynlee and gabi have- those two were cut out of the same cloth. i love how much madi reminds me of Isaac, how much gabi reminds me of me, and how much brynlee is a perfect mixture of both. i love that we love each other and love being around each other. i love this time of year and watching the girls as they grasp the concept of the true meaning of Christmas. i love that every baby that they see in a nativity they know is baby Jesus, and for madi, every boy baby in books she calls baby Jesus :). i love being a mom and being there for my girls day in and day out. i love life's little lessons that we've learned along the way. i love seeing my girls grow and learn and emerge in personality. i love that i have a husband who puts up with all of us girls, and keeps a sense of humor. i love my family. :)
I hope this season finds you all well and happy and reminded of the wonderful things in life. :)
