Grab The Love

Children bring such joy and love into one's life. As I sit on the couch with Kirra (nursing or just holding her), I love just gazing down at her. She is so precious and I just can't help kissing her and cuddling her. Her hands are so small and I love the way she wraps her hand around my finger or how her hand just rests on my chest as she falls asleep. The immense love that I feel for her overwhelms me at times. God is so good and I feel so blessed. Jaret still likes sitting with me and cuddling, especially when we are reading stories. He also likes giving hugs - "I want a really hard hug, Mommy." And then he proceeds to just hug me with all the strength in his little arms. He is so good at giving kisses and saying "I love you." He even gives his baby sister kisses right on the mouth and then laughs when her mouth opens and he says, "See Mommy, she is giving me kisses right back." Too adorable! Lately Jaret and I have started a new game. I tell him that I need some love. Sometimes he'll come and give me hugs and kisses right away and tell me he loves me. Other times though he says, "You have to grab the love, Mommy." It is then that I proceed to grab him and pull him close to me. I give him kisses all over as I hug him and wrestle him and he just giggles me and allows me to get all the love and affection I want. Such priceless moments that will be long lasting memories. The love I have for my children continues to grow stronger each day. I am so blessed and feel filled with joy each day.
