I spent the day crocheting coffee mug cozies and looking for new fun patterns to try. I came across some really cute ones that I'm looking forward to trying out! Tonight we have our friends, Chris and Courtney, coming over for dinner adn some fun, along with their adorable kids, Josiah and Jocelyn! Courtney is a very talented photographer, and a good friend. We haven't been able to hang out much lately, though, because she and her family lived in San Antonio for a while, but they recently moved back to Seguin, and Kalin and I are really looking forward to hanging with them again!
We are making chicken burgers for dinner, and they're going to be super yummy because Kalin has been marinating the chicken in his delicious jack daniels bar-b-que sauce all day!!! I can hardly wait to eat one!!
Today, I am thankful for my kids, Micah and Elijah. They are adorable kids, and for the most part they are well-behaved. I know at times, I want to strangle them (as any good mother does), but they are so cute that I just simply can't! I know they cause me a lot of stress and they test my patience daily, but I honestly don't know what I would do without them. They are the world to me. They make me laugh at the silliest things, and they somehow seem to know when I'm feeling down, which has always amazed me. I remember when I was pregnant with Elijah, Micah was just 2, and when I had really bad morning sickness, Micah would go play in his room for extended periods of time, and come out just long enough to give me a hug and a kiss, and then go back to his room; like he knew I was feeling icky, and he was staying out of my way while still letting me know he loved me no matter what. I have seen Elijah do the same thing when the whole family had a stomach bug except for him (because he had it two days earlier).
My point is that my kids can never be replaced. I realize one day they are going to grow up and go off to college and get married and all that, and I'm not quite sure yet how I'm going to handle not having my kids with me for the majority of the day, but I'm sure I'll figure it out in the 13 years (or more) before Micah can move out. My heart melts when they run up to me and give me hugs and kisses, my heart breaks when they fall down and get "owies" and my heart stops for just a moment when they jump off something I think is too tall or when they go running away from me in a crowded place. And I believe it always will do those things. I am looking forward to the next however many years we will have together before my kids move out and make families of their own.

I'm so glad we got to hang out and i hope we can do it more and more. I'm thankful to have you guys in our lives, we always get to pick up right where we left off plus a kid or 2 lol
