So, I stumbled upon a new blog today that has inspired me. It is LeeAnn's husband. Here is the post I'm talking about. Most of his posts to date (with the exception of todays, he he) are about how much he adores his beautiful family. One of his posts, along with one of Mary's made me feel quite inspired today.
I am going to write a sappy post about how I love my family, and why:
1. I love how Brian always kisses me goodnight, even if I'm passed out in bed.
2. I adore the way Annika kisses Bianca while taking a bath. It isn't solicited by me either. How sweet are sister kisses?
3. Even though she's bossy, it's pretty darn cute when Annika yells at BBbanca (that's how she says Bianca).
.
4. I love how Annika knows there is a baby in mommy's tummy and gives Bennett kisses
5. Even though I know I shouldn't love this, I love that Annika wants to take a nap in "mommy's bed".
6. It's the sweetest thing to see Bianca's face when daddy gets home. She really is a daddy's girl and it couldn't make me any happier.
7. I can't get enough of Bianca's smiles. She is always smiling and charming someone.
8. I love how much my husband loves us. He adores his daughters and devotes so much time to them. He works hard for our family and we appreciate every second of it.
9. Lastly, I love the surprise entrance Bennett has made into our lives. He is a blessing from above, the perfect addition to our family. We can't wait to meet him.
At the end of the day, these are the reasons I live such a rich life. Sometimes I am too exhausted to really recognize it, but I am truly blessed to have what I have. I have a loving husband who I have shared so much of my life with (11 years this year), a man who knows me inside and out and who will do anything I need him to do; a fiesty red-head for an oldest daughter who loves to laugh, test my patience, jump off of furniture and torture the pets; and a unique and happy youngest daughter who gets into anything and everything, will smile at you in an instant and who adores her bigger sister. These are the things in life that really matter and I couldn't be happier! I love you fam-damily!
I will leave you some pictures from today. They are too stinkin' cute not to share!
Annika had to have that butterfly pony tail holder in Bianca's hair. Do you think she would let me put it in her hair?
And here's Annika. She was eating a cookie, and she actually was saying "cheese"! Too cute.
your girls are so cute! you truly are blessed.
