Little Teachers

I know, I know. I'm very late in posting this.

Marcus and Maddox turned two on a beautiful, sunny, unseasonably warm 87 degree day, on April 3, 2010. 

I am so blessed to have these two amazing little men in my life.  I never imagined how much I would learn from them.


Through their eyes I have learned to discover and appreciate the little things.





They have taught me how to be patient.

They have taught me to slow down and enjoy every single moment of each and every day.



They have taught me to not care about what anyone else thinks.

They have taught me that it is ok to get messy.



That first words, steps, kisses, and hugs are more important than laundry, dusting, vacuuming and mopping.



They have taught me selflessness.


I have learned the true meaning of family.
I wouldn't change a single second of the last two years.

Thank you Marcus and Maddox. 
You are the reason I get out of bed each morning, and thank God for allowing me to live another day.

  7. Their so cute I just wanna squeeze'em lol. I'd gladly babysit them even with my own two running rampant :)

    ...wait. What am I saying? Four two year olds in a 1000sq ft space? I'm nuts for even going there. They are INCREDIBLY cute though...
