Count every second as a blessing

Time just seems to get away from me these days...... as much as I have learned over the past few years to hold every memory dear and count every second as a blessing some times I still let myself get to busy with every day life to live.

It has been a wonder few weeks in my world.....spent the evening with Hud-man and I-an.   They got the biggest kick out of the 5 dollar toys I brought....... go figure.  I-an (Ian) has this mesmerizing grin and these dancing blue eyes..... he will knock his twin out of the way to play but in the next minute gently see that Hud-man (Hudson) is included in everything.  Hud-man has taught all who know him about tenacity and drive but always as a hug (and a kiss sorry J and B) ready for anyone who gets close enough.

Got to spend a day with several of our kids..... This was our little Ale's (Miller "time" Samuel "adams") first Christmas...... being that his Mom and Dad and personal angel all bleed orange we thought instead of a rockie horse he needed a rockie tiger...... He loved it and it is amazing how he knew right away how to make it rock..... having your first Christmas at 11 months old is fabulous.   Still glorious because it is the first but fun cause there is more to life then eating, pooping and sleeping.
Lil Ale will look at you so hard like he is looking through you then give you the sweetest side ways grin.....melt you.

This will also be Small Fry's (Tucker John or Friar Tuck as Jerry calls him) first Christmas....He will only be 15 days old.  Two hours after birth you could see the love for his parents in the way that his little face changed when they talked and you could see that his mom and dad were in love with this lil Fry in a way they never thought possiable.   You have to think of the Christ child when you see him.....peace, love and goodness all around him. 

We have been blessed with 4 very very very very special boys (their parents aren't bad either)...... I plan to count every second with them as a blessing...........They have made my Christmas special just as my brown eyed girl put a little special in every memory I have.
