My Little Family

It’s after midnight.

I’m up because both Kimberly and Jeremy have colds.

I’m sitting in my bed with Kimberly sleeping next to me, so cute, so peaceful…other than her occasional cough.

Next to her is Beth, with Jeremy sleeping on her chest. I’m jealous. I love when they sleep on your chest. He just giggled in his sleep! That’s good, poor little guy caught Kimberly’s cold. He really loves his mama!

Beth is asleep…I think. I think I might be keeping her up with my typing. She’s so good with the kids.

It’s so sad but sometimes it’s so sweet taking care of the sick babies. Every now and then they snuggle into you, or do something off the charts cute and I exchange looks of “Ahhhhh” with little half-frowns with Beth.

You might think that I’d be thinking, “This sucks!” Instead, it makes me think of how much I love being Daddy!

    Wow, I totally get it. Our girl has had a cold recently and the snuggles that have come from it have been amazing. It’s the small moments that allow you to take a look that really make you the most appreciative of being a parent. At least, for me.

    Hope your little ones feel better soon!

    Random! My little girl is sick right now too. She’s not in our bed but was really cuddly today and just not liking anything.

    Good to see you blogging!
