Life seems to be going by so much faster since Macie has arrived. My kids are growing up faster than I can handle or want. Maybe it's the holidays or post pregnancy emotions but I seem to be so much more sentimental lately. I just feel so much gratitude in my heart for all I have. Yes, my life is so busy, chaotic at times and stressful but I have so much and wouldn't trade it for anything. These 4 little souls are my everything and I just want to cherish all the memories and try to be a better mother to them. I have so much work to do to be better but I'm trying. I have loved watching the boys with Macie. They are all so kind, gentle, sweet and it has honestly brought tears to my eyes watching them with her. I can't thank God enough for this precious gift he has given me. There is something special about watching your boys with their little sister. They love her so much.
Asher has been so helpful and his demeanor has changed so much. He's so concerned about her, wanting to help with his little duties. He has such a kind heart. Caleb is so quick to want to hold her, feed her, rock her and make sure she's happy. Ethan is constantly kissing her, telling her how beautiful she is and saying how much he loves her. My heart has truly been touched by their affection. She is such a treasure.
Over the past few weeks, the boys have been doing what boys do best... getting muddy and crazy. Fred took them so see Santa. We've been playing dress up with Macie which I don't think she loves but we sure do. Sleep is still inconsistent and I'm tired. I'm ready for my body to be back to normal but I know I will one day look back on these pictures and wish I could remember them being this little. So, for now I'm okay that life is crazy with a newborn and the house isn't clean, laundry isn't done and life doesn't seem to slow down because one day I miss it and wish them this little and innocent again.
