Cherishing the Moments

This life that keeps going, whether we stop or not, I refuse to let pass by without cherishing the moments. Will is growing up so fast, as all children seem to do. Mat's and my love continues to blossom. We just sit back and realize...we have a home, a child, and each other. I laugh because it doesn't take long for Will to just do the silliest things. He chases me around the house, 'getsing me' as we call it. He loves to play ball outdoors. He is discovering the world. I often find myself just stopping and taking a deep breath in experiencing his discovery. It might just be the way the dirt feels through his fingers, or a picture in a book, tasting something new, or how he gets ecstatic to eat a piece of chocolate. I want to savor each and every moment.
For Example:
Yesterday he and I were sitting at the table. I had white capris. Why do we even wear white, honestly? Anyway, he was eating some blueberry Kashi cereal, and of course his independent self wants to feed himself. Blue milk inevitably landed on my pants. I chose to laugh and take in the fact that he is learning, interested and happy. What more could I want? I laughed and told him how big and good he was. He even drank milk from the bowl, and loved it, I might add. It was so unmistakably adorable.

I will always cherish these moments, though small, that I get to share with my boys. With tears welled up in my eyes, I can honestly say the joy overwhelms and overflows. I'm beyond happy that my life has such incredible moments. God is wonderful.
