Little moments

Tonight I had to carry Luke, Quinn and Hannah to bed because they had all fallen asleep on the couches.  I picked Luke up and the dead weight of his body about did me in - I think that is the last time I carry him to bed.  (When did he get to be so BIG?).

Then I carried Quinn, who wrapped his arms and legs around me as soon as I picked him up like he was a little monkey.  When I laid him next to Luke he reached out and put his arm around Luke (aaawww - brotherly love).

Then I toted Hannah, feeling the weight of her tiny little body and realizing how big she is getting too makes me a little sad.  I walked a little slower with each of them to make the moment last a little longer (except Luke - I was about to drop him).

I am grateful that I get the opportunity to call these kiddos mine.  I am lucky to be around them each day and I love them with all of my heart!

 (Except when they sneak creamies out of the freezer  -  -  - and don't shut the door all the way  - - - so things start to thaw  - - - and about a half of a gallon of ice cream melts  - - - and runs down the door of the freezer,  - - - oozing over everything in it's path on the way down - - - filling in any crevices on its journey.)
