So Fresh From God...



Makayla after applying her eye shadow...

Charles Dickens once said "It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us".  I love it.  So Fresh From God. 

And sometimes, I find myself repeating that quote over and over again in my head...but just adding on to the end a few of my own words.

It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from god, love us...

...and want to wipe us. - Yes, if you're a mama, you know how exciting it is to go to the bathroom alone. Tonight, as I was going to the bathroom, Makayla asked me if I went poop or pee.  I told her pee and she took some toilet paper and told me "Okay.  I will wipe you".  Of ourse, I didn't let her wipe me.  I thanked her but told her that I was a big girl and could do it by myself.

...and end every single day looking like a tattoo addict. - Mason thoroughly enjoys covering his entire body with stamps and markers - every.single.night.  I could just throw the markers away, but what fun is that?  I'm convinced that he is surely learning something from covering his body in art.

Between my wiper and tattoo artist, Makayla and Mason are continually making me smile and reminding me of how incredibly blessed I am.  I can't even begin to imagine how much more exciting life is going to be at the end of this year.  Going from a family of four to a family of five is going to bring us more joy than I can possibly dream of.
