Loving My Little Ones

I love being a mommy! Oh I fail at it time and time again and I see my own sin revealed so much in the way I respond to my children and in how my children respond to me but that almost makes me love it all the more. As I train and teach my children God continues to train and teach my heart and that is just His unbelievable love and grace to me. I last posted almost a year ago at Christmas time and since then we have been blessed with a 5th member of our family: Lily Jane Greene.
Oh my goodness how this little girl has blessed my life already! She is the sweetest, most beautiful and most laid back little one I have ever known...which is good considering her brothers are far from laid back :) Lily has this adorable auburn mohawk of curls that excites me so much because I think she'll have curls like her mama.
The boys adore her! Noah is always asking to hold her and gives her sweet kisses and hugs. I picture him being her confidant one day; giving her wisdom and advice and gently guiding her through life. Noah has so much compassion and such a gentle spirit. I love to see him with his little sister.

I think Lily might be a little afraid of Parker but he loves her so much. He was naturally a little jealous at first but he has definitely worked through it. Now his love of her is just a little rough at times...he is all boy and all toddler :) I picture Parker being her biggest protector. I think because they are close in age he will be very protective of her and the friends she surrounds herself with.
I love the way God has designed our family!! I love having 2 boys that couldn't be any more different and who are very best friends.

And I love having a sweet baby girl who is so patient and has such a sweet temperament because she knows it's probably going to take this mama awhile to get to her. I am so blessed!
