Princess was eating breakfast this morning with her mom. She got up from the table and on her way out of the room announced that she needed go give Bubba a kiss. Bubba is what she calls Monkey. Now mind you that he had a rough day of seizures yesterday and a couple in his sleep so he was out cold when she said this at 10am. Times like this help remind of how incredible this time in our toddler’s life is and how much we should savor every moment.

She can be an absolute terror sometimes and stacked on top of a stressful day that can be pretty rough. But this, these times, these snippets of wonderful pull us right back from the edge and warm our hearts. The day’s troubles are gone and we are left with a sister’s love for her brother. It’s perfect, unprompted, genuine, raw and above all a glimpse of Christ’s beautiful intention for us all.

Bubba got his kiss and a couple strokes to the forehead and she resumed her everyday life as a three-year-old.

On a different note altogether, we have been keeping a secret. It’s kind of a big deal. We even kept it from our families for a while. As long we could hold out really. It’s going to change things around our house quite a bit. The rest of you might as well know now before somebody offends my wife and asks if she’s getting fat. That’s right! We’re adding a third of our own this fall! Baby #3 as we endearingly refer to this one, will be here by the beginning of November. We are excited and a little overwhelmed, but mostly just excited to add to our little family.

As if I didn’t already have enough excitement around here to write about. This should provide enough material to keep this blog going for a long time to come 😉
