Family Lace ♥

I see it each time we come closer to the birth of a new child.

How sentimental I feel about the family we  have right now and how the addition of a new little person complete with his/her own personality will change life as we know it.

I see my self picking up the current baby of the family and just getting all the love and cuddles I can from that little precious child.

I see myself focusing more on the gifts and talents of each child as they are now and how that will change when little 'buttercup' (pet name for the baby not born yet) arrives.

I see myself more and more thankful for the husband I have who willingly loves us and wants to spend his time with us, rather than activities outside our home.

I see the slightly older children being more able to focus on the special event of a new baby, the time before  they weren't old enough to remember.

I see maturity in the middle children as they choose to become more responsible around the home and take on more adult responsibilities.

I see as our young adults emerge from our home into the world, how time marches on. For as we welcome the newest addition the oldest edition has left the nest.

I see that we all have trouble focusing on our 'everyday' tasks as we wait for the day to finally arrive.

I see friendships that will last forever, as they share intimate yet funny moments together.

I see our children loving life through the small and unique way they each perceive it.

I see the comfort of knowing you are loved for who you are and cherished for your individuality.

I see the sharing that goes on each day, in not only material items but in time invested in loving others

I see the sweet joy that only childhood can bring to our family and I am thankful.

I look and I see a FAMILY but not only that.........
I see OUR FAMILY

Today as I join Trish  (although late) I am truly thankful for the LACE that binds our family together ♥

Blessings to you and your homes,
