Love....what a cool thing

I was looking through my previous posts of how I was speaking about my life when I was pregnant. I can't imagine my life without Benny here now. It's weird. I was excited to meet my baby, and I love having him here. Now it's seems uncanny to imagine life without him. Love has a profound ability to grow. First you start with your spouse. I love Brian so much and couldn't imagine loving anything more than him. Then I had Lily and my love grew to love her in this amazing way. And then when Benny got here, wow, love is vast. Put Christ's love in the mix and you've got a love cocktail that is infinite and completes your being. Love....what a cool thing.

April has been a pretty fun month. I caught Benny's first smile on camera. It's like a piece of heaven when he smiles. And when he lets out a little coo, my heart melts. I can't wait to hear a laugh. Ben's growing so fast. He's out of newborn clothes and wearing 0-3 month. He can sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night which makes Mommy and Daddy very happy. His personality is getting more prominent all the time. He's so curious and alert. He loves to look around and learn about the world around him.

We had a crazy snowstorm this month. Lily begged me to go play outside in the snow. While I'm very sick of snow from the long winter, it still amuses my little girl. So I took Lily out in her big snowsuit and we didn't just make 1 snowman, Lily and I made 4 snowmen! It's a snowman family! Just like our family. They all melted by the next day but it was worth it.

I'm done with school for this semester! I'm relieved to take a break this summer. I'm hoping that I did well in my classes after a lot of hard work. Fall semester should be interesting with the bigger course-load, and harder classes mixed in with my two kids.
But for now, I'm looking forward to this slow and lazy summer where we get to relax, blow bubbles, and play.
