Thankful.

Today i am thankful for the past 2 years of my life. I have got to know and love all four of my kids over the last two years. Even though some days i may take for granted the time i get with them, i often catch my self staring in amazement and glowing inside at each of their own little quirks and personalities. John Michael has such a soft loving heart, he wants to live in our arms and cuddled up on our laps. I love that he still runs around outside with capes on. I love how hes the perfect mix of a young man and a little boy. He has such a huge bright imagination, he can write a story that makes you think and day dream all at the same. I love this kid so much, I want him to stay my little man forever. Kierstin, this girl is so much fun. She is silly and profound, she is innocent yet tough. She lives with her head in the clouds but her heart in the heavens. I love her. I love the way that shes not afraid to laugh out loud when no one else is. I will always cherish the girl time we get together painting nails and doing hair. She is a bright light that can touch your heart with the simplest things. Connor is such a boys boy, he likes to play hard and get dirt. But hes got just as much compassion and softness in him. One minute he wants to wrestle with me and the next hes asking to help me cook. He wants to be just like his daddy. I love that he has his heart in the right place, i love that he always makes sure we pray, and i love how honest and thankful he is in those prayers. When i met these kids I had no idea that they would completely capture my heart and soul. They are mine and I am there's. It may be silly, but my heart still smiles every time i hear "mommy" come out of their little mouths. Everyday they teach me what it is to be a mom. And thats something i will never take for granted. God has given my 5 amazing people to love and take care of. Five people to shape and change my life. Earthly and eternally. Payton Emma, this girl makes my heart sing each and everyday. Watching her grow into who she is amazing, she has such a sweet but powerful personality. I want her to live in a fairy tale forever. I never want her to learn the bad of the world. This little baby girl keeps us all laughing or ahhhing all day long. She is so affection, especially with her brothers and sister. She will walk over to them and curl up next to them and just lay there, whether they are playing video games or trying to get to sleep. She gives the biggest open mouth kisses and the littlest little Eskimo kisses. I am addicted to this little girl. My family is the perfect fit for me. I love our little Callahan Crew.
