I have been snuggling into my sweet ones. They are just so beautiful, inside and out. Its the change of seasons and the new clothes to wear, they are all fresh and new (to us). Lily has worn the most precious little fall rompers and I just can't get enough of her. I am loving seeing her upright, walking. :) She's too cute & her sweet little baby chub, I can't kiss or snuggle it enough. Peter's world is probably getting a little challenged with being in a structured environment 3 mornings a week and so I've gotten some reports of him having difficulty following instructions. I hope he will learn to do so (but I also consider that he's just a boy, energetic and not always wanting to do what others want him to... some of that is OK.) At times, I am tempted to have adult expectations of him. He's shown me that he can do a little so I jump to expecting a lot of him. Then he gives me a cackle about something like peek-a-boo (that we've played 600 times but its still as funny as the first) and I realize, oh, he is just a child... why have I grown him up in my mind? I realize that these days are passing too soon- it just takes me seeing Peter's elongating body and I wonder how its happening so fast. Oh, and I can't even speak the words fifteen months out loud so I can pretend its not true. Moments test my patience often. This week I found myself praying Lord help me to love these children (sometimes I've just got nothing!) with the love and dignity you've made them worthy of and created them for. They are so precious and I am so weak and frail. Oh, I hope they see Your love cause I've got nothin'. I love them so much but so inadequately. Lord, please love on them strongly! I am so glad they are in my care for these years. I can't get enough of them.
I've had to take lots of mental pics b/c I am waiting for my new camera battery charger to arrive. Hurry! :)
