I have the greatest family. I'm just so proud of each of my 3 guys. My heart jumps inside when I think about how much I love them. It's hard to believe that just 4 years ago, Kevin & I were only a couple, and now the 4 of us are a family. I feel so incredibly blessed; this is the best life I can imagine.
Kevin works so hard and has come so far in the 16 years since we met in high school (I've been connected to Kevin for more than 1/2 my life, now!). I can hardly believe he's about to finish residency after 26 years in school; he has definitely earned those 2 little letters after his name! Kevin is an awesome man of God; I've seen him come so far in his walk with Christ (We both have!). One of my proudest moments was his baptism almost 5 years ago. He's a wonderful dad, too. The boys get so excited when he comes home in the evening. Kevin once described himself as the "ice-cream" parent - the once in a while, super fun treat! He's not here as much as he'd like, but when he is here, he comes home full of energy, ready to throw them, tickle them, and make them laugh until their sides ache.
Carter is my big boy. I can hardly believe he's almost 4 and will be starting school soon. He's got a big heart and a big imagination. When I studied Psalm 127:4-5 (Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.), I immediately thought of Carter because he is our "protector". Carter loves all things that go. He has an explosive excitement for every truck, train, cat or dog that he sees. He has so much to say, yet he's very shy. Carter fills my days with joy.
Bryson is my baby. We have a closeness that can only be found between a toddler and his mother. If he could, I believe he'd spend all day in my arms (which, most of the time, is just fine with me). Although he's 19 months younger, he does pretty well at keeping up with Carter. Like Carter, he loves anything with wheels or fur. He also loves reading books and dancing to music. He's so sweet, but rough at the same time. He'll be the football player that barrells over the opponent then helps him up. Bryson has a love of life (and a laugh) that is infectious.
