Feeling Thankful

The last few days I have been feeling especially thankful for all that I have.  I am not sure what is bringing it on.... maybe because I have some friends that are about to go back to work after mat leaves, and I am fortunate enough to be able to stay home with my guys, or maybe just because things just seem to be falling into place.  Things are not perfect, and in the next month there will be a lot to do and lots on our plates... but I am very lucky to have so many wonderful things in my life. 

Of course, as all of you that know me know, my little men are the highlight of my life (I think Daddy's life too).  If you look at the blogs you can tell that my world pretty much revolves around them, and while it is exhausting and sometimes I feel like I don't have to time to catch my own breath, I would not have it any other way.

More sleeping pictures.... I had to wake Wil up from this nap... I was worried he would sleep through supper!

(I was also lucky enough on the weekend to get to have a little nap with my big guy, which was nice since he has been too big to sleep in my arms for a long time now.)

"What the heck, Mom!?!??!"

(I had to wake Carson up also, same reason, but he was not as peaceful!)

Carson really wants to feed himself... look at that concentration!

Sometimes he gets it in his mouth!

"This is fun!"

Enjoying the nice weather

Crazy Baby!!

People keep telling me Wil looks just like Chad... I don't know, I just don't see it!!

Wil likes to play "baby" and pretends to sleep in Carson's crib

(He also likes to sit in his high chair sometimes for some Cheerios)

So perfect

(While he is still not sleeping through the night, I am hopeful.  We have had some really good nights, and he will sometimes put himself to sleep with no tears.  I have been reading a few different sleep books and we are trying some new things and I have faith that he will sleep one day, hopefully soon.  I have also tried to give myself some new perspective.  While it is sometimes very frustrating, and exhausting, I am trying to enjoy the quiet moments with Carson in the middle of the night, because he is growing up so fast and won't be a baby very much longer and I will miss being able to look at his peaceful, perfect little face while he is sleeping in my arms.)

Now after looking at all those pictures of these amazing kids... how could I not feel thankful!?!?!??!
