Sweet Gracy

While Ella and Hannah are in Florida with Grandma and Grandpa having the time of their lives, Sweet Gracy is all alone with us.  And dare I say, having the time of her little life?
She has never been without her bigger sisters.  She has never had "the floor" in conversations where it didn't require competition.  She has never gotten one on one time with her momma and daddy...

  
Well, almost one on one time. 
Gracyn is in her prime right now.  She is sweet as honey and she drips with kisses and hugs.
She is always darling and loving and sweet, even with her big sisters, but when it is just her
it is much easier to fully embrace those kisses... To appreciate her curiosity for all the things


 that draw her attention away from the task at hand... To lovingly accept the challenges of a two year old... To spend time doing what SHE wants, not having to divide attention between three.  
When it's just the three of us, her face lights up.  She smiles from ear to ear.


But do you know what's interesting?
 

 When it's just the six of us...


 Her face lights up... She smiles from ear to ear.  And she is surrounded by love.

Just the Six of Us

Six may seem like a lot but only to others. It is who we are. Some people like peace and quiet (who doesn't?), but the quiet we lack we gain all the more in giggles, feet scampering, I love yous, tickles, tiny voices singing. Being a mother to these four amazing little people and a wife to the most incredible person I know is a blessing that can't be put into words; I am living my dream.
