Must be doing something right...

My kids have been totally awesome lately. Well, I mean, they are always awesome, but there's that "oh dear Lord, if I don't get some time away from you soon we may be all in trouble" type days. Right? It's not just me? Anyways.... When the boys decide that they are brothers (meaning they get along) they are awesome to each other. They play. They laugh. They have a totally great time together. This is exactly why I wanted two so close together. Now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, when they are like this with each other...I am the outsider. It's on odd place for me to be. I've always been there for them. I'm always here for them. I've been the one they turn to when they want help, snuggles, etc. But now, more and more, they are turning to each other. I get that little gut-feeling that I'm left out, but yet, it's also a great feeling because of the bond they have. I know they are going to fight, yell, hit, etc. (yea, a daily occurance here) but I also know that in the end, they will be there for each other. I've seen it happen and continue to watch it. I sound so cheesey, but I am so lucky to have the opportunity to be their mother. On another note, I think they are both seriously developing relationships with God! This makes my heart burst with joy!!!! The other day I caught Nate "reading" and he was saying, "I am the Lord your God, Jesus, and I will come back to your Earth one day to save you." Today, while waiting for my glasses, Nate was dancing in the hallway. The lady asked him where he learned his moves and he told her, "Heaven." She looked at me kind of funny and I shrugged my shoulders with an I don't know look. She asked him when he had been to Heaven and he told her, "when my Mommy was a little girl I was up there." I asked him who taught him to dance and he said, "Jesus." So, in case you are all wondering...Jesus has some moves! Lex has been having some bad dreams and he will make a special trip downstairs at night to pray with Erik or I to help them go away. In church on Sunday, during the worship songs, I looked over and caught Lex, with his eyes closes, his head up, smiling and his hand outstreched!! I love watching my boys grow...physically, mentally and spiritually!
