Captured

As I sit down to type this, I notice that it has been nearly 3 months since my last post. I don't really feel guilty about that, except when I realize that for almost 2 years straight I was consistent about updating this online journal about the daily-isms in my world. The fun little toddler and baby tidbits, that I often look back on and giggle over. I want you to know, they still very much exist, I just have been captured and in love with all my goings-on. I love these little people I am blessed with...I am captured by them every single moment of every day.

I have been trying to figure out the balance of life as a mother of three dear little ones. Three little ones, whom each need me in such a different way at almost always the same time. It is in those moments of craziness, I try to find the humor and blessings. Alexandra, now 5 years old going on 10, is reading and taking in the world around her in a whole new way. She loves school and is eager to begin kindergarten next fall. How has time so quickly fast forwarded to this? It seems like only yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. I cherish those tender moments of questions, curiousity and thoughtfulness. She has such a tender compassionate heart, always wanting to help in any way she can.

My little Cade is also growing up. As we rapidly approach his 3rd birthday (I am still in denial), he just cracks us up with some new phrase or some silly thing each and every day. He is very determined, energetic and full of spunk! He is the polar opposite of big sister in that he is NOT a morning person (like his mother!). He loves the morning cuddles and moments of calmness before his day begins. He has just recently turned into our songbird, humming songs and making up his own at times. He is all about books, trains, dinosaurs and cars...and his G-pa. :)

Sweet little Avery is already 14 weeks old today. She fits right into all the fun, and everyone loves loves loves her. She is a good sleeper, eater and has a mellow disposition. I am trying to treasure these moments of her infancy, for I know how quickly they escape. I am content to rock and hold her in the night, sing and dance and love on her. For I know before too long, I'll be bringing her to preschool and the likes. I am living in the moment and loving each day for what it brings.

What can I say? I am blessed and captured by my sweet, little ones. So, when it seems I have fallen off the blog-o-sphere, just know, I am here but am taken away by love and joy and captured in the day to day.
