Best Friends

Over the past week, I've been sick more often than not.  Nasty cold, tummy bug and etc.  I'm really feeling the effects of a weakened immune system.  I'm not a fan. I keep reminding myself.. it's all worth it. 

Just another little sacrifice of housing a little body.

Mylie has been so sweet.. including me in almost every prayer she offers.  What a tender little spirit she has. 

I'm so grateful for these two.  They are getting more and more independent every single day... and best part of all.. they're best friends.  Mylie is constantly looking out for Luke and taking care of him.  If I'm not available, he'll go to his big sis with complete confidence that she'll be able to help him. 

What a blessing!  Especially this past week. 

I love that they'll play together all afternoon without requests for play dates or other entertainment.  I love listening to their imaginative play and to their interaction.  They truly have a special bond. 

One that I pray they'll cherish and protect over the years to come.

I hope they don't remember the pregnant version of me... the sick, no fun version.  I feel terrible that over the past 4 months I haven't been myself... not very entertaining.. or even very patient.  I'm so grateful that they are very understanding and forgiving.. I just hope these 'not-so-fun' memories fade and they have an overwhelming sense of how much they are loved. 

Because they are loved... so much.
