Amazing

This Christmas, I have am not wanting for a thing. I have everything I could possibly ever want: my two amazing children, my parents, family and friends, a great job, and my health and that of my family.  When Sophie was writing her Santa wish list (and helping Eli write his), she turned and asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me? When I told her not a thing, she looked at me and said, "Is that because you have your two babies?"  EXACTLY! Couldn't have said it better myself.

I love these kids with all my heart.

When I look at my kids, I am in awe.  They are the most amazing miracles.  It overwhelms me to think about how lucky I am to have them both.  And when I think about how quickly time is flying by, it almost makes me cry.  It seems like only yesterday they were babies. And now they are not. Sophie is excelling in 2nd grade and amazes me everyday with how smart and kind she is.  And Eli..... my baby.... he is the most amazing little boy ever.  As I look back on what I've just written, I see that I wrote the word "amazing" quite a few times.  But it's the best and most appropriate word when describing my children.  They are simply AMAZING.
