I just had a little thought I would like to share. I was talking to a woman today who has several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She just loves babies and wanted to hold Luke and play with Isaac. She told me how when her children were little she always liked to have everything be perfectly clean and neat. She had a storm door that the children would put their hands on to look out and she would always be wiping away handprints. As she was playing with Isaac she said, "Oh, I would give anything to have little handprints on my storm door again." Time with our children goes by too fast. Sometimes I find myself putting off playing with my kids or spending time with them to "wipe the handprints off of the storm door." I hope I can overlook the things that don't matter so that I have more time for the things that do.
Don't worry Grandma's I will put pictures up of Isaac and Luke on my next blog post!

Fun Little Stories About Us
Most embarrassing moment!
Before Josh and I were even dating he was over at my apartment one night just watching a movie with me. One of my room mates started opening the door and to be funny Josh grabbed me to pretend to kiss me. I really liked him a lot so I decided to really go in for the kiss. When he saw that I was really going in for it he dropped me and pretended like nothing had ever happened. It has now gone down in the books as my most embarrassing moment ever!
Christmas Lights
For our first Christmas Josh and I were picking out lights to put on our tree. We both really wanted to make the other one happy. My family's tradition was to always do colored lights on our tree so that is what Josh thought I wanted, but I really wanted white lights. He kept asking me if I wanted to get colored lights so I assumed that was what he wanted, but he really wanted white lights also. We ended up buying colored lights trying to make the other one happy. When we got home and had the tree all set up with the colored lights on it, I looked at it and said a little sheepishly, "I actually wanted the white lights." Josh burst out with a huge grin and said, "That's what I wanted, too!" We ended up taking down everything and getting white lights to put on the tree. Fortunately one of our first real problems with communication was only about Christmas lights!
Isaac's First Laugh
When Isaac was only a week old I was holding him and just watching him sleep as I am sure most mothers do. As I watched him he broke into a laugh! His laugh made me laugh! It was the cutest thing. The name Isaac means laughter which seems very fitting.

Love this. Thanks for sharing, Mary.
So true. It's so important to live in the moment and be with our kids while they are with us. They are too precious.
SO TRUE! I love that reminder. Thank you.
Okay, your blog says Luke is 2 lbs...did you mean 12 lbs? Just curious. Colin is 2 months on 2/6 and I think he'll be at least 11 or 12 lbs and he only started off at 5 lbs 7 oz! How do they grow so fast?! Well... I guess I know the answer to that question... He does like to eat - a lot! Like you said, round the clock feedings, even through the night, is how they get big. :)
Wow, that's a really great thought. I know Eric's mom would leave stickers on her doors for months just because the kids put them there. I'll have to think about this as I get my routine going to make sure I give LaNea enough time.
