I forgot to mention here on the ol' blog that Evan turned 9 on March 31st. And Miss Maya turned 13, yes that is THIRTEEN years old! I have a teenager. Craziness I tell you! They had great birthdays and I'm just so proud to be their mom. :) Even if they do stress me out once in awhile with their bickering. ha!
Wanted to share a funny from Evan last night. I was working on bookwork and had told him goodnight with hugs and kisses and Todd was going to tuck him in. Fasforward 5 min. and he's in bed hollering, "Mom! Mom! Come here! I have to tell you something!" Todd went to intervene since he knew I was trying to figure something out, but then Todd pops into the room laughing and gives me a message from Evan. Evan wanted Daddy to ask me what was more important, my son or a piece of paper?
Ugh, that KID! :) So of COURSE being the sucker that I am (and I know the Mommy moments where he wants me in his room for extra kisses will soon be gone) I went in and stood beside his bed. He asks me what the name of the song is playing on his CD player. I told him it was 'Lord I Lift Your Name on High'. Then he asks me to sing with him. So as he's SUPPOSED to be sleeping, he and I are singing in his bed:
Lord I lift your name on high.
Lord I love to sing your praises.
I'm so glad you're in my life.
I'm so glad you came to save us.
Priceless. A moment I ALMOST missed out in because I was "busy". I'm SO glad I have this super-sweet, sugar coated little boy to remind me what really matters. Thank you God for blessing my life with him. :)

Oh, Angela! That is so sweet! I hear ya on wanting to take advantage of the moment. Every once in a great while my 9 year old will say at bedtime, "Mom? Will you snuggle me?" Man, I just DIVE into that bed. LOL!
I love it, Angela! I've been reading the Five Love Languages for Kids, and I keep getting reminded that sometimes all my kiddos need is a quick hug or whatever and then I can get back to what I was doing. That's an AWESOME book, by the way.
Love that song, too. It always makes me happy. :)
Oh, that it just so sweet!
Awwww, this is just adorable! Ok, great job, now I'm just willing to have kids RIGHT NOW! LOL Too cute!
Awww, Angela, that is the sweetest little story. Kids give us wonderful moments, don't they?
awwww Angela- what a sweetie he is! This gives me hope as my oldest turns 7 soon and I'm praying that the sweetness continues for a loooong time LOL!
