I'm going to try to keep this post brief, as I have cloth diapers in the washer, a living room that needs to be vacuumed, a kitchen and hallway that needs to be swept, dogs that need to be taken out, baby shower preparations that need to be taken care of, and a tummy that needs to be fed (my own right now but also Aynsley's in a little over an hour).
Today, I'm thankful for children. I'm not even talking about my own amazing daughter when I think about this, I'm particularly thankful for the children of others. One of my best friends, Kristen, has four AMAZING boys (one who is extra-special to me because I was able to be there when he was born) and I love being a part of their lives. Also, I get to spend my weekdays with sweet Gwen whose wonderful parents, Jimmy and Jessica, are a wealth of knowledge (well, more Jess than Jimmy ;) and a blessing to us.
It's no secret that I love kids; I've been serving in children's ministry in some way, shape, or form since I graduated from junior high. I just love spending time with kids, so I often volunteer to baby-sit (sometimes I even get kids for trips and sleepovers!). I love so much about kids - their innocence, the hilarious things they say, the way they mispronounce things, the way that each and every kid is so different.
I am so blessed to be trusted with the children at my church and the children that I get to "steal" from friends, and I'm so grateful for all of the wonderful children in my life!
