Sentimental

This is a ridiculously sentimental mommy post. 

So if you are not in the mood for gushing,

 I may just skip this one.

Sometimes I am overwhelmed with love for my little family.

Seriously, I look in the face of this little guy 

and could almost choke with love.

No really, like the in the stomach punch that we got this amazing kid. One who sings jingle bells year round, who when he

 wants to get our attention when he is super excited

says "Hey, Guys!", one who says he loves Canda {panda} bears, and hums when he gives us snuggles. It's like we won the kid lottery. I am sure when he is 16 and I can't get him to wake up to get to school on time and he is way to cool to snuggle his parents anymore. It will make us bummed but, right now. We are

 really in this sweet place of just drinking it in. 

I look at my husband and really am overcome with emotion. 

We did this. This was our dream.

When we were out on the lake, in our boat and just 4

 months into our relationship. We dreamed of this.

We dreamed of today. We talked about how one

 day if we had a son his name would be Jackson.

We dreamed of playing baseball in the front yard 

and trips to get ice cream.

Here we are.

Today I am overcome with love. 

This little family, it is perfect for us at this time.

I am getting closer to the big 3-0. 

I guess it's supposed to be this life changing age thing to swallow.

I won't say I haven't momentarily moments where I freaked

but, most of the time I am sitting on the thankful seat.

Ready for the next chapter.
