Just tucked in two of the most rumpled, snotty nosed, very well fed little boys. Tucked them in, with the requested blankets, not the requested bed (Nanny really needs some sleep tonight) and watched 4 gorgeous dark brown eyes close as two little heads sank into the pillows. Now really, does it get any better than that? I think not.
When I used to look at Jon and wonder how loving someone so much could ALMOST hurt . . and then held each of my children in my arms and experience the same feeling . . . I just never knew how it gets better and better.
Didn't a loving Heavenly Father give us such a wonderful plan and world full of opportunities to live, grow, love and experience? We were not promised that it would be easy when we were sent here to receive our bodies and experience mortality. He did promise it would be worth it. He has never and will never break a promise to us, His children. I am so thankful for His gospel in these last days when we can enjoy it in its fullness, for the priesthood my good husband holds and blesses our lives with. I am thankful Jon & I were able to go to His house (Temple) and be sealed for eternity. that these sweet precocious children are part of my posterity that I share with Jon.
This is after I got to go see Arianna and Tati to see how all were after Arianna's eye surgery. It was looking really well. Excited for her. She sure has the most "melt your heart" brown eyes, even after surgery. Tati was happy to see her costume all ready for her recital on Valentine's Day. She is such a good little cuddler!
Now with my heart full of gratitude and appreciation, I will go and relax, read and get a good night's sleep. this is how I need to go to bed more often . . . just might be good for my health!!

Your always such a good example to me- first helping me be a mom and now leading the way down "grandma lane". It is wonderful! I too am amazed at our capacity to grow and love and then find room for more love. It really does just get better and better. I heard Ellie crying in the middle of the night and changed her wet diaper, fixed a bottle, gave her a snuggly toy and tucked her in. I am so in love with that little girl and it was nice that she went right back to sleep for grandma so her mommy could get some rest!
I'm glad Arianna's eye surgery went well! What a blessing to live in the age of medical marvels! I pray for her continued recover.
