I Love My Family


Luke- He loves to spend time with family, he enjoys hard work, loves the Lord and lives to show others he loves the Lord.  

Olivia Joy- She is truly a happy child who loves to laugh, and be silly.  She almost always will give you a smile.  She is fearless and try's to do everything that she see Morgan do. 
Morgan Elizabeth- Always wants an answer for why things are the way they are, she is curious, and inquisitive.  She loves to create, and play pretend with endless imagination.

As I get closer to my due date, for Baby number 3 I have so many things running around in my head, I thought I would share a few with you today:
1. I really love my kids, I love how they have such different personalities and make each day so different and unique.
2. I wonder what this new baby will be like?  I really hope that he is easy going, and doesn't mind all the craziness his sisters will add to his life.
3. It is going to be so much fun to have a boy in our house, don't get me wrong I love all the pink, purple and hair bows, but I'm looking forward to not having to do a 4th persons hair in the morning.
4. Morgan is such a fun child when she choses to be one, now as a parent how can I get her to choose this behavior every day?
5. It's hard to believe that Olivia has finally started sleeping through the night only weeks before we add a newborn to the house.  I'm sure the fact that she can now breath after her surgery is a huge part of the reason she has started to do this.
6. I wonder what our Costco bill is going t look like now that we will have two kids in dippers?
7. I love days were I feel like I have life organized and things are running really smoothly.
8. I'm so lucky to have Luke and the kids in my life, I can't imagine a day with out them, life just won't be the same.
9. God has blessed my family in so many ways I can only imagine what else he has in store for us this year, I can't wait to find out.

I hope that each and everyone of you who read my blog remember to take time to let your families know how important they are to you.  I don't mean the day to day I love you's, I mean really let them know why you love them.  It's my goal this week to make a list for Luke, Morgan, and Olivia stating 10 traits that I truly love about each one of them.  I know that this might be over Olivia's head, but I want her to know just how much I love her.  I think that it is easy to forget that our loved ones are unique and each add something so different to our lives.

Great post, Katie!! I especially love the picture of Morgan! I agree it's important to go beyond the generic "I love you". Sometimes I get complacent, tho! :( ... so thanks for the reminder!!

Great to see you at MOMS this morning. I will be praying that you can sleep well and feel as ready as you can be when BBJ (baby boy Jenison) comes along!! Hang in there!
