blessed.

you know what? i am always posting pictures of our family...but i rarely comment on our lives. i have to say, we are so blessed. our family. Josh and i have each other, which i am grateful for more and more each day. and we have the most amazing children. seriously, blessed. every day, i am amazed with how they are growing, physically, emotionally and mentally.

just the other night, we were driving home from disneyland and it was past bedtimes, so, we were just trying to fend off the meltdowns. we were doing a pretty good job until avery took a bite out of her big d-land lollipop and the edge of it cut her lip. she started crying and i saw some blood, so, i climbed in the backseat to comfort her. she continued to cry, which caused caleb to cry. almost immediately, avery stopped crying. said, "its okay, caleb" and started singing him a song. his favorite, twinkle twinkle little star. (and, by the way, i'm tearing up as i write this.) the fact that she cared so much about him and his feelings impacted me so much. that she was so quick to stop thinking about herself. our ever empathetic and compassionate little girl. she just blew me away. and yes, if you're wondering, it worked and caleb stopped crying. :)

just so blessed.
